Bug Free Bliss in Kilbride

This large home in Kilbride, Ontario, presented a unique challenge with its moat-like surroundings and bat issues. Bats had nested in the room above the hot tub, creating a messy and unpleasant situation. Our goal was to screen the room to eliminate bugs and bats while providing the homeowners with a beautiful additional space to enjoy.

Key Features:

• Floor-to-Ceiling Screens:
• Custom-built onsite to perfectly fit the large opening, measuring 30 feet across and 14 feet high.
• Utilized Twitchell Nano 50 mesh, known for its strength and 15-year industry-leading warranty.
• Swinging Screen Door:
• Equipped with a PCA door and closer for durability and ease of use.
• Durable Framing and Construction:
• Built with our renowned framing bar system and 2x2 tubing to provide additional support for wind loads.
• Aluminum profiles, color-matched to the home, ensure a cohesive aesthetic.
• Custom Roof Build-Out:
• Designed to accommodate the unique roof overhang, ensuring a seamless and secure fit for the screens.

Challenges:

• Bat Infestation: The room’s open design previously allowed bats to nest, creating hygiene and usability issues.
• Large Dimensions: Constructing durable, floor-to-ceiling screens for such a large area required precision and robust materials.
• Weather Resistance: The screens needed to withstand wind and other environmental factors without compromising functionality.

Our Solution:
We utilized our trusted Nano 50 mesh for its superior durability and longevity, along with a custom-built framing bar system to ensure stability and performance. The build-out around the roof overhang was tailored to address the room’s unique architecture. Every detail, from the aluminum profiles to the PCA door, was designed to meet the client’s needs and expectations.

The finished project transformed the space into a bug- and bat-free zone that the homeowners can now enjoy year-round. The large screens provide uninterrupted views and ventilation, while the sturdy construction ensures the room will remain functional and beautiful for years. The hot tub can now be used without worry, and the additional living space adds value and comfort to the home.
