Why Pool Enclosures Are a Smart Home Investment

A swimming pool is already a valuable feature—but adding a pool enclosure transforms it into a smarter, more efficient, and more enjoyable investment. For Florida homeowners, pool enclosures offer year-round usability, lower maintenance, enhanced safety, and increased property value.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install custom aluminum pool enclosures that deliver long-term benefits well beyond aesthetics.

Here’s why a pool enclosure is one of the smartest home upgrades you can make.

1. Enjoy Your Pool Year-Round

Florida weather is unpredictable. A pool enclosure protects your pool area from rain, wind, and excessive heat, allowing you to enjoy swimming and outdoor living throughout the year.

With a screened enclosure, you can:

  • Swim comfortably in more seasons
  • Host gatherings without weather concerns
  • Relax poolside with shade and airflow

2. Lower Pool Maintenance & Cleaning Costs

One of the most immediate benefits of a pool enclosure is reduced maintenance.

How Pool Enclosures Save Time & Money

  • Block leaves, debris, and insects
  • Improve water cleanliness
  • Reduce chemical usage
  • Extend the life of pool equipment

Homeowners spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying their pool.

3. Improved Safety for Families & Pets

A pool enclosure adds a physical barrier around your pool, helping prevent:

  • Unsupervised access by children
  • Accidental pet entry
  • Wildlife and debris entering the pool area

This added layer of safety provides peace of mind—especially for families.

4. UV Protection & Increased Comfort

Pool enclosures help filter harmful UV rays while still allowing natural light to pass through. This creates a more comfortable environment by:

  • Reducing sun exposure
  • Preventing overheating
  • Making poolside relaxation more enjoyable

Shade and airflow combine to create a healthier outdoor space.

5. Energy Efficiency & Heat Retention

Pool enclosures help trap heat, keeping water warmer for longer periods. This can:

  • Reduce pool heating costs
  • Lower overall energy usage
  • Extend swimming seasons

Energy efficiency makes pool enclosures both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

6. Increased Home Value & Market Appeal

A professionally installed pool enclosure enhances:

  • Curb appeal
  • Usable living space
  • Buyer interest

Homes with pool enclosures often stand out in the market, making them a smart long-term investment.

Why Aluminum Pool Enclosures Are the Best Choice

Aluminum is the preferred material for Florida pool enclosures because it is:

  • Rust and corrosion resistant
  • Lightweight yet strong
  • Low maintenance
  • Built to withstand Florida weather

Our enclosures are engineered for durability and compliance with local building codes.
