Thermal Industries and Atrium are the two brand names to keep in mind when deciding to create vinyl outdoor enclosures to extend the life of your deck or terrace or porch. Thermal Industries offers two types of vinyl outdoor enclosures that are ideal for winter use, one is the DreamspacE all season enclosure, and the other is also a DreamspacE but is meant as a three season patio enclosure.
Features of the DreamspacE Winter Patio Enclosure
A feature of the winter patio enclosure will be having a totally protected area and sliding glass doors with insulating glass that allows for warmth and sunshine no mater the season. The vinyl outdoor enclosures in the DreamspacE 3200 series are energy efficient with thermally-broken insulated roofing and walls. The walls are 3 inches thick with a white aluminum interior and an aluminum structural frame with Thermocore polystyrene insulation and glass panels for allowing light and sun. Choose cathedral or marquee ceilings, and select the sliding doors you desire. You can customize your winter patio enclosure to fit the size of space you have available and decide the design. You can do most of this decision making and choosing styles and measurements online, however the Thermal Industries and Atrium products like their complete vinyl outdoor enclosures, windows, doors and roofing options are only sold through authorized dealers. So you have to contact your local builder to find out where they can be purchased and who you can get to build or install everything.
Cheap Vinyl Outdoor Enclosures
The Thermal Industries products for creating your vinyl outdoor enclosures or your sunrooms, atriums, and winter patio enclosure designs are expensive. Many people will not be able to afford such high tech patio design and therefore seek cheap alternatives. One way to save money is to buy prefabricated vinyl outdoor enclosures that are sold as kits. Many of them are offered by small companies online. When you receive the pieces, you can follow the instructions and assemble the enclosures yourself or hire a local contractor. But they will be cheaper than buying the top of the line winter patio enclosure options from the big manufacturers.
One other alternative is to search for companies who specialize in vinyl siding and vinyl windows, since a winter patio enclosure is primarily a structure with windows and sliding doors and a vinyl roof. However, no matter how you slice it, a totally enclosed patio area with glass and vinyl roof and sliding doors is going to cost thousands of dollars.
