From Florida, to Cozy Retreat: A Sunroom Makeover

From Florida to Cozy Retreat: A Sunroom Makeover in Deerfield Estates

Transforming a Dated Fixed Screened Porch Into a Three-Season Paradise.

Our clients, a retired couple in Deerfield Estates, Dorchester, ON, reached out to us after admiring their daughter’s three-season covered deck. As recent sellers of their Florida home, they wanted to create a cozy and weather-protected space that they could enjoy year-round in Ontario’s variable climate.


The couple’s existing setup featured fixed screens in all the openings. These screens, which had served them for over 20 years, were beginning to show signs of wear and fatigue. The couple faced a decision: replace the fixed screens OR upgrade to a solution offering superior weather protection and comfort. They opted for the latter, entrusting us to install storm panels and side-by-side Weatherwall window/vent systems.


Challenges:

  • The existing fixed screens provided only partial protection, blocking up to 50% of the weather. This left the space exposed to drafts, rain, and cooler temperatures.
  • The couple’s priority was a warmer, more weather-resistant environment, especially as they planned to spend more time at home after selling their Florida property.
  • Ease of use was a key consideration, as they wanted a solution they could operate effortlessly.

Our Solution:
We removed the aging fixed screens and installed custom storm panels and Weatherwall window/vent systems. These modern upgrades offered the following benefits:

  1. Enhanced Weather Protection: Weatherwall windows block up to 99% of the weather, ensuring a significantly warmer and more comfortable space.
  2. Improved Usability: The windows and vents are designed for easy operation, making them ideal for older adults.
  3. Extended Seasonal Use: By minimizing exposure to the elements, the couple can now enjoy their sunroom for most of the year, transforming it into a true extension of their living space.

The transformation exceeded the clients’ expectations. They were delighted with their new, upgraded sunroom, which now offers the comfort and protection they desired. The couple expressed joy at being able to use the space nearly year-round, appreciating its warmth and ease of use.

“We’re thrilled with the results! Our sunroom is now a cozy retreat that we can enjoy in almost any weather. The windows are so easy to open and close, and it’s wonderful to stay warm while still enjoying the view. Thank you for making this possible!”

This project highlights the value of upgrading from fixed screens to modern Weatherwall systems. By addressing our clients’ specific needs for comfort, protection, and usability, we created a space they can cherish for years to come. For anyone seeking to enhance their outdoor living spaces, this project demonstrates how the right upgrades can make all the difference.
