Patio Enclosures Markham

Our company knows a great first step for homeowners is to ascertain if your new patio enclosure will be used in all seasons, some seasons, as a privacy shield, or just as a protective and enjoyable guard against the hot sun and pesky insects. Upon choosing the style of patio enclosures Markham, you will then want to consider door & great window options. One of the biggest perks to incorporating patio enclosures to your outside space is the additional square footage it adds to your home, and by ‘extension’, adding even more value and entertaining space…a great investment strategy! As many Canadians enjoy their backyards in all weather and even more, their patio space (who doesn’t love to get out there and BBQ in the wintertime?), it is a win-win situation when homeowners convert their patios into a patio enclosed space for year-round enjoyment! Simultaneously, you are adding an extension or square footage to your home by enclosing your patio area, which is a ‘value booster’ if and when you may decide to sell your home in the future, and it is a strategic energy efficiency boost as well!

Patio Enclosures Materials

Wood: is the more expensive choice, but it is a natural material, it has a warm appearance, it is versatile for all sized constructions, it is an superb insulator of noise & heat (there are now rot-proof and exotic natural woods available), but it requires treatment (painting or staining) and regular maintenance.

Steel: is strong, pleasing to the eyes, is a higher quality material, is versatile for various sized constructions, but it has a low insulation factor and requires reinforced steel & anti-rust treatments (it is parallel in cost to wood), but can last for many years.

Vinyl: is a top choice for its durability, maintenance-free appeal, resistant to mold, offering a wealth of colour palettes & wood-look or metal-look manufacturing, and is easier to install. The most cost-effective choice is vinyl for its versatility and made in various shapes, offering a smaller colour palette, is easily accessible and is a decent insulator (vinyl lasts for many years).

Aluminium: a great choice for its lower costs, its high rigidity, almost maintenance free, a larger variety of colours & sizes, it is lightweight, but it is a conductor which will require a thermal break in the aluminium framing.

Glass: there are a couple of different types of glass, there is single glass pane (great for use during three of the Canadian seasons) and double glass pane (which is thermal-friendly and energy efficient throughout all four Canadian seasons). We offer our customers optional choices like tinting the glass, low-e glazing and interchangeable glass for screens.

Screens: screen material is a highly durable aluminium mesh that is painted black, to deflect some of the harmful UV rays that come through with natural sunlight and keeping insects out, using our high-grade screening that is made to be durable against the weather elements, and strong for longer life (our screen/mesh panels resist corrosion and sagging).

Patio Enclosures Extras

Our patio enclosures do come equipped with everything you need for a standard installation, but there are a few other optional choices (tempered glass, insulated knee-walls or kick plates, in-swing doors, customized sills, sliding doors to save on space in smaller areas, transoms & sidelites and hardware & security options). We offer DIY pre-assembled kits (all ready-made wall sections & assembly instructions) and custom-made options (all homes have different measurements, roofs etc.).
