Knowing that even the smallest details make a big difference, we painted the underside of the porch system and staircase because of the visibility of this area.

Believe It Or Not, This Exceptionally Designed Screened Door Is Not Made From Wood; It’s Handcrafted From PVC

Why PVC?

PVC and wood are two different materials commonly used in construction, and each has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to building screened porches and outside doors. For an application such as this, our team considered PVC a better building material for several reasons.

Design Flexibility: PVC can be molded into various shapes and profiles, allowing for more design flexibility than wood. This is particularly useful when you want to create custom, intricate details in your porch or door frames.

Stability: PVC maintains its shape and dimensions, even in changing weather conditions. Wood can expand and contract with temperature and humidity fluctuations, potentially leading to warping or doors that don't fit properly.

Durability: PVC is highly resistant to weathering, moisture, rot, and insect infestations, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications. In contrast, wood is susceptible to rot, decay, and termite damage over time, which can result in maintenance and replacement costs.

Low Maintenance: PVC requires very little maintenance. It does not need to be painted or stained, and it will not warp, crack, or split. Wood, on the other hand, requires regular maintenance in the form of painting or sealing to protect it from the elements and keep it looking good.

Longevity: PVC has a longer lifespan than wood when exposed to the elements. PVC can last for decades without significant degradation, whereas wood may require regular replacement or costly repairs over time.

Insect Resistance: PVC is not attractive to insects like termites or carpenter ants, which can be a significant concern with wood. Using PVC can reduce the risk of insect damage to your screened porch or outside doors.

Eco-Friendly Material: Our PVC building products are recyclable and are made from recycled materials, which is a more sustainable choice compared to using wood from old-growth forests.

The spruce wood ceiling overhead was chosen for its dramatic visual effect and texture, as well as for its resistance to weather effects.

Cypress wood flooring is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage due to its high content of cypressene, a natural preservative oil. This makes it a great choice for exterior applications, where it is exposed to the elements.

Furthermore, Cypress wood can last for many years, even in harsh outdoor conditions, without the need for extensive maintenance or treatments. This durability makes it a cost-effective option over the long term.
