There are a variety of benefits to having a screened-in porch attached to your Chesterfield VA new homes<\/a>. From extended use to increased comfort, choosing a screened-in porch is an excellent option and it\u2019s one we offer our customers among the variety of floor plans we design.<\/p>\n

One of the big reasons people choose a screened porch is the comfort factor. You get the fresh air of being outdoors, but don\u2019t have to deal with the creepy crawlies and the flying bugs that can ruin your time outside. It\u2019s also a way to provide your pets with a sunny spot to enjoy while helping them avoid fleas and ticks. Everyone benefits!<\/p>\n

A screened porch also provides greater versatility. Because it is protected better from the elements, you can include nicer furnishings than you may usually include on a porch or patio. In fact, depending on where it\u2019s located, you can easily extend your living area by creating a somewhat seamless shift between the porch and your home\u2019s interior, especially if it\u2019s connected to your living room or dining area. Using French doors or sliding glass doors or similar styles lets you open up the interior of your home to the porch, creating a larger, more open space, which is particularly great for entertaining.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits a screened-in porch serves, especially in Virginia, is the fact that you can use it for longer throughout the year. The screens help keep the area usable for much of the year. Add in some curtains or roll blinds that can be used to provide shade during the hot summer and block cold breezes in the cooler months. You can also use fans in the summer and heat-sources for the cooler months to make it even more comfortable for longer.<\/p>\n

Some people still like to have an open patio or deck, but there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t add one as an extension from the screened-in porch, giving you even more options throughout the year. Be sure to check out our numerous floor plans and feel free to contact us to ask more about screened-in porches and open patios to make your Chesterfield VA new homes<\/a> as comfortable and versatile as they can possibly be. You\u2019ll love all of the entertainment and relaxation opportunities a screened-in porch can provide, rain or shine!<\/p>\n
