How Do I Enjoy My Outdoor Living Space In The Colder Months?

With cooler weather on the horizon, you may be wondering if enjoying your outdoor space this upcoming season is even possible. Wouldn’t it be great if you could still soak in the beautiful sunsets and fresh air, despite the upcoming chilly, Chicagoland temperatures?

Adding a room, such as a sunroom or screened-in porch is a great way to make the most out of outdoor living as it cools down and can be built with features to make use of the space year-round!

Screened-in porches and sunrooms provide protection from outside elements such as rain, wind, and snow, while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors. Below are a few of our favorite features that make it easier to use your space throughout the year.

Sunspace Retractable Windows

These attractive, lightweight windows allow you to easily close up the room to protect against rain or snow or open them fully to allow a warm breeze in on sunny days; let in as little or as much of a breeze in as you please. Below are some of our favorite projects featuring Sunspace windows.

Outdoor Fireplaces

Integrating an outdoor fireplace into your screened-in porch or sunroom is a great way to create warmth and ambiance throughout the colder seasons. Below are some of our favorite rooms with fireplaces.
