The owners wanted a 3 season room with maximum flexibility to enjoy their spectacular view. We designed the porch to include roller screens from Phantom Screens. With a touch of a button they can turn their open porch into a screened porch which no bug can penetrate. Radiant heaters will take the chill out of a fall evening, and lightweight clear panels extend the use of the porch long into the winter. When the husband and his friends want to enjoy an occasional cigar, a high powered vent whisks away the smoke keeping nonsmoking guests happy.  A state of the art sound system provides beautiful music, making this space as well used as any room in the home.

    Fabulous! Are the “clear panels” a plastic product?

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love it. Can you give me a ballpark figure on how much approx. 14X14 would cost?
    Thanks
