7 Benefits of a Screen Room in Indiana

A screen room is one of the most practical upgrades an Indiana home can get. Here is what it actually does for you, from a company that has fabricated aluminum screen rooms in Evansville since 1979.

1. You get the porch back from bugs

Southern Indiana summers are humid, and mosquitoes and flies make an open patio hard to enjoy from late spring into fall. A fully screened room keeps them out while letting the breeze through, so the space gets used every evening instead of a few weeks a year.

2. More usable months than an open patio

Screen walls cut wind and blowing debris, and with an insulated roof the room stays shaded and noticeably cooler in July. Many Tri-State homeowners use a screen room from spring through late fall.

3. Built for Midwest weather

Our screen rooms use aluminum framing that resists rot and never needs painting, fabricated in our shop on Baumgart Road in Evansville and measured to your home. There are no one-size-fits-all kits.

4. Screen options for how you live

• Fiberglass screen: the standard choice, easy to see through and easy to rescreen

• Pet screen: heavier and more tear-resistant for dogs and cats

• Sunshade screen cloth: cuts glare and heat on sunny exposures

• Aluminum mesh: available, but it holds creases and dents if it gets pushed on, so most homeowners prefer fiberglass

5. Easy to repair

If a dog runs through a panel or a screen tears, the sash can be rescreened or rebuilt at our Evansville shop. We handle anything from a single sash to large batches.

6. A known price

Standard screen rooms run about $119 to $124 per linear foot installed, with an insulated roof priced separately at about $37 per square foot. Smaller rooms under 25 linear feet run a little higher per foot. Financing is available through Wisetack.

7. Backed by a real warranty

Every room we supply and install carries our Limited Lifetime Warranty, including lifetime coverage on the aluminum structural frame for the original owner, with simple annual maintenance.
