How Strong are Aluminum Screen Rooms?

Aluminumn Screen Enclosures are required by law to be constructed to the same wind loads as the host structure. In Florida, those wind loads were adjusted in the 2010 Building Code, which was adopted recently and began effect on March 15 2012. In North Florida, particularly the Tallahassee area, wind zones were increased by 10 mph. Many 110 mph wind zones were increased to 120 mph. Likewise, in Wakulla County, most 120 mph zones were increased to 130.












Moreover, Building Departments require sealed engineered drawings to accompany permit submissions for screen rooms and pool enclosures. So any job you have done on your home that is permitted has met the wind load requirements. All Custom Aluminum is proud to have retained Sound Structures Engineering as our source for sealed drawings, specifications, and expertise.

Enclosing Existing Patios

Perhaps no other home improvement project can add so much to your home for so little investment as enclosing your existing covered patio or lanai. That's because aluminum screen wall systems are hands down the least expensive option when it comes to enclosing an area of wall. And since the roof already exists, it takes only hours to convert from open and buggy to a patio or lanai that is both a funtional and aesthetically pleasing addition to your home.








We are proud of this project completed recently for South Pointe Builders in the Killearn neighborhood. Jonathan and his crew prepared the area, and constructed the deck, and All Custom Aluminum constructed the screened aluminum wall system utilizing our internally fastened design which eliminates unsightly clips and brackets. The result? A synergy of design and use of space which creates a large area which now is "interior" space at a low price. Thanks to Jonathan and South Pointe for once again choosing All Custom.

Tallahassee Area Pool Enclosure Specialists

All Custom Aluminum has recently completed a beautiful pool enclosure for the Hyatts, northwest of Tallahassee near Havanna. We utilized a mansard design in the roof area, and enclosed two lanai areas to create a screened patio and outdoor kitchen. Mr. Hyatt opted to add sets of our horizontal vinyl pane patio windows to the lanai wall sections to provide wind and rain protection. These custom made, lightweight patio windows integrate with existing screens, and are completely removable in minutes.

What Makes an Aluminum Screened Patio Better?

If you have ever taken notice of a screen room or patio which is constructed from wood components, you have probably seen the following: sagging, loose screen being blown by the wind between vertical posts spaced between 16" and 4' on center. Maybe you were lulled by the rythmic flappedy flap of the screens as they strained against their staples? We kid, but seriously, an aluminum patio enclosure has many advantages over wood framed installations, and the differences don't stop with the screens. First, aluminum is light but strong, and able to span greater distances than wood. Also aluminum will never warp or rot, two reasons many wood frame screen rooms show their age prematurely. Third, aluminum components are powder coated through an electrostatic process which creates a finish which lasts a lifetime, and requires very little maintenance. And as we stated, sagging, floppy screen will be a thing of the past with an aluminum patio enclosure. That is because modern aluminum extrustions come with a flat spline groove around the entire perimeter of your screened opening. This "flat" spline will not push or fall out of the groove, enabling your screens to stay tight for years to come. And the grooves mean that changing out one ripped screen is a simple, inexpensive propostion.

Quality Pool Enclosures in Tallahassee

All Custom Aluminum has recently completed a pool enclosure we are very proud of, for a few reasons. First of all, we are proud to have earned the trust of our customer, Ray Burroughs. Mr. Burroughs recently retired from a long and distinguished career at Leon County Growth Management, the last twenty years of which were spent as Director of Building Inspection. So to have earned his business was a definite compliment to All Custom Aluminum. But we are also proud of our ability to meet a unique challenge presented by this installation. It was determined during layout that the pool deck and outbuilding were not perpendicular with the host structure, making for a more challenging design. We were able to conform the mansard roof system to accommodate the trapeziodal configuration of the slab by adding in length to the horizontal divisions in even increments across the entire enclosure. Finally, we were able to recommend design options other companies didn't, like our 1.5# density composite roof system, and thus earn the business of one of the most well respected Regulators in the Industry. All Custom Aluminum has been constructing pool enclosures from our headquarters in Tallahassee for over 17 years.

Vinyl Pane Patio Enclosure in Lakeshore Area of Tallahassee

All Custom Aluminum designs, sells, and installs, patio and screen enclosures, greenhouses, awnings, sunrooms, and a host of other outdoor living products. We are proud of our latest project in the Lakeshore neighborhood of Tallahassee, FL. The customers opted for the vertical 4 track style vinyl pane windows for a number of reasons. First, enclosing with vinyl pane windows does not create "habitable" space as far as the tax man is concerned. So your patio still remains a patio, technically, even though the windows insulate as well as single pane glass.

Moreover, the 4 track configuration allows 70% air flow when all the way open, compared to about 40% for traditional style windows. And, of coarse, vinyl pane widow sashes are all removable in minutes, a process which converts the room back to a screened area. Just store the sashes and reinstall them when needed. Whats more, because each vinyl pane window is manufactured for you, they can be made to mount into any existing screened porch or patio.
