Enclosed Porches

An enclosed porch allows you to enjoy the outdoors year-round while staying protected from Florida’s heat, rain, insects, and unpredictable weather. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design, build, and upgrade enclosed porches that enhance comfort, increase usable living space, and add long-term value to your home.

Whether you’re enclosing an existing porch or upgrading an older enclosure, our team delivers durable, code-compliant solutions tailored to Florida homes.

What Is an Enclosed Porch?

An enclosed porch is an outdoor living space that has been enclosed with screens, windows, panels, or a combination of materials. Unlike an open patio, an enclosed porch offers protection from bugs, wind, debris, and rain while maintaining natural light and airflow.

Homeowners choose enclosed porches to create:
Comfortable outdoor living areas
Additional usable square footage
Relaxing spaces for entertaining or lounging
Protection from insects and harsh weather

Ideal for airflow and bug protection, screen enclosures allow you to enjoy fresh air while staying shielded from insects and debris.

Window & Vinyl Enclosed Porches

While screen rooms primarily use mesh screens for airflow, enclosed porches can incorporate screens, vinyl windows, acrylic panels, or solid panels. Enclosed porches offer greater flexibility, improved weather protection, and extended seasonal use.

During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the enclosure type that best fits your lifestyle and budget.
