Screened Lanais

There’s a special kind of joy in being outdoors—feeling the breeze, hearing the birds, seeing your surrounding landscape—while staying comfortably sheltered. That’s exactly what a screened lanai offers: the open-air feeling of a patio with the protection of an enclosed space. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in designing and installing premium screened lanais in Brevard and Indian River Counties—helping homeowners embrace Florida’s outdoor lifestyle, bug-free and in style.

Whether you envision a quiet morning retreat, a family dining area shielded from insects, or a seamless transition between your home and pool, our screened lanai solutions are customized to fit your home’s architecture and your personal style.

Why Choose a Screened Lanai?

A screened lanai is more than just a covered porch—it’s a versatile extension of your home. Here’s why so many Florida homeowners love their lanais:

Insect-Free Outdoor Living

Florida’s beautiful weather also means mosquitoes, gnats, and other pests. A screened lanai gives you a protected zone where you can relax or entertain without constantly swatting bugs.

If you’re looking for even greater coverage, explore our Lanai Screen Enclosures that combine durability, airflow, and open visibility for year-round comfort.

Protection from Weather & Debris

A screened lanai protects your outdoor furnishings and flooring from rain, falling leaves, and direct sunlight. When designed properly, it keeps your outdoor area looking beautiful with minimal maintenance.

To extend protection further, consider Patio Screen Enclosures that add full perimeter coverage while maintaining your outdoor ambiance.

Increased Home Value & Appeal

Adding a screened lanai expands your home’s usable square footage. These spaces appeal to buyers seeking comfort and outdoor living, especially in Florida’s sunny climate.

For homeowners who want to create a fully enclosed structure, our Lanai Enclosures provide a polished upgrade that seamlessly integrates with your home’s design.

Cooling & Energy Efficiency

By blocking direct sunlight and creating shaded comfort, screened lanais help reduce indoor temperatures and ease the load on your A/C system. They’re practical and eco-friendly.

Low Maintenance & Longevity

Our aluminum framing and durable screen materials require minimal upkeep. For those wanting even more shade and protection, we can incorporate Aluminum Patio Covers or insulated roof panels to enhance your lanai’s performance and appearance.

Privacy, Comfort, & Versatility

Screened lanais can be tailored with privacy mesh, roll-down screens, or architectural features. For homeowners who want extra seclusion, our Lanai Screens options provide the ideal balance of visibility and privacy.
