Lanai screens can transform the way you spend time outdoors. Instead of worrying about hurricanes, sun, and pesky mosquitos, you can spend more genuine time with your family.
Additionally, if your yard isn’t fenced in, lanai screens can create a secure barrier for animals. So, you can let your pets off-leash without them running away.
This content will encompass the many benefits lanai screens provide your outdoor area and three commonly asked questions including,
- How long do lanai screens last?
- How do you clean lanai screens?
- Do screens block out light? / Can I still tan under them?
If you’re curious about these questions, or how lanai screens can transform time spent outdoors, you’ve come to the right place.
1. What Is The Average Lifespan Of Lanai Screens?
The average lifespan of lanai screens is 10 to 12 years. But this depends on the quality of installation. That’s why it’s wise to choose the right company to get the job done.
At West Shore Construction, we use high-quality screens installed by experienced professionals. You can expect your motorized lanai screens to last the fully intended lifespan with our excellent craftsmanship.
2. How Do You Clean Lanai Screens?
The air is moist here in Pinellas County and all kinds of mold and algae can begin to grow on screens. Ensure you’re doing a thorough job cleaning by including the screens and frames. Otherwise, you’re dealing with unsightly mold and algae growth.
The process for cleaning your lanai screens is simple. All you need is a hot soapy bucket of water and something to scrub your screens with. If soap isn’t for you, vinegar is an excellent cleaning solution as well. If you’re handy with a pressure washer this could also be a way to clean your screens.
3. Do Screens Block Out Sunlight?
Your lanai screens will block out some sunlight but not all of it. You can still tan under your screens and could still burn. So, make sure sunscreen is still a part of the plan after your screen installation.
Want more shade than screens can provide? You can put up umbrellas and place some chairs around as well. Before you know it, your lanai has become a sweet spot for summer pool parties and family gatherings.
No More Mosquitos!
The most significant benefit that I think all Pinellas County residents can agree on is no more mosquitos. No more intoxicating bug spray that can irritate your skin and no more itching!
Most will avoid the outdoors in the evening time when they know the bugs are at their peak. But with a screened-in lanai, you can,
- Enjoy the outdoors in the evening
- Avoid using smelly irritating bug spray
- Keep guests and family more comfortable during outdoor events
We all wish mosquitos could be a thing of the past, but lanai screens can provide a little safe haven away from the bugs for now.
Spend Less Time Cleaning Your Pool And More Time Enjoying It
Debris in your pool is unsightly, but it’s also bad for your pool. The debris can clog your pool filters, in turn, putting strain on your pump. But with the protection of lanai screens, you can drastically decrease leaves, sticks, and other things from falling into your pool.
Less time spent cleaning your pool means more time you can spend enjoying it. Having to change your filters and clean the debris off your pool can be irritating when everyone’s excited to go for a swim.
Or maybe you’ve had a stressful day and intend to take a relaxing dip in the water. Cleaning first doesn’t sound like it fits into the schedule. It’s a good thing this is a problem of the past after we install your lanai screens.
Lanai Screens Provide A Safe And Secure Environment For Pets
Pets really are an extension of the family. Their safety is a priority, and a screened-in lanai provides a secure space for them to run freely. They can still have fun without being contained on a leash.
Conclusion
When you install lanai screens you can have, a safer environment for pets, a cleaner pool with a longer lifespan, more time with family, and no mosquitos!
