Screened Lanais

A screened lanai gives you the best of both worlds — the open-air feeling of being outdoors with the comfort and protection of an enclosed space. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we design and install custom screened lanais that allow Florida homeowners to enjoy fresh air, shade, and outdoor views without insects, debris, or harsh sun.

Serving Brevard County and Indian River County, our screened lanais are built to complement your home’s architecture while enhancing comfort, usability, and long-term value.

Why Choose a Screened Lanai for Your Florida Home?

Screened lanais are one of the most popular outdoor upgrades in Florida — and for good reason.

Insect-Free Outdoor Living

Florida’s climate brings mosquitoes, gnats, and other pests. A screened lanai creates a comfortable, bug-free space where you can relax, dine, or entertain without interruption.

For expanded coverage and structure, explore our Lanai Screen Enclosures, which offer full perimeter protection with excellent airflow and visibility.

Protection from Weather & Debris

A screened lanai helps protect your patio furniture, flooring, and outdoor décor from rain, falling leaves, and direct sun exposure. Properly designed lanais reduce maintenance while keeping your outdoor area clean and inviting.

For homeowners seeking even more enclosure, our Patio Screen Enclosures provide added protection while preserving the outdoor feel.

Expanded Living Space & Home Value

Adding a screened lanai increases usable square footage and creates a functional outdoor living area. In Florida’s real estate market, screened lanais are highly desirable and can enhance curb appeal and resale value.

If you’re considering a more enclosed structure, our Lanai Enclosures offer a polished, room-like upgrade that integrates seamlessly with your home.

Cooling & Energy Efficiency

Screened lanais provide shade and reduce direct sunlight, helping lower surrounding temperatures and ease the workload on your air conditioning system — a practical benefit during Florida’s warmer months.

Low Maintenance & Long-Lasting Materials

Our screened lanais are built with durable aluminum framing and high-quality screening, designed to withstand Florida’s heat, humidity, and coastal conditions with minimal upkeep.

For additional shade or rain protection, we can incorporate aluminum patio covers or insulated roof panels into your lanai design.
