Midland Georgia Patio Enclosure near Columbus

All Custom Aluminum has recently completed a patio enclosure for Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, of Midland, Georgia. This existing lanai area will receive a set of vertical four track vinyl pane windows, to create a versatile and beautiful addition to their soon to be completed landscaping project. Our powder coated aluminum components are professionally installed utilizing state of the art internal fastening techniques which eliminate unsightly clips and angle brackets, creating a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing installation. The difference between aluminum screen patios and typical wood screened patios is that the aluminum components hold the screen in much better, tighter, and for much longer than any other method of attachment. Because our aluminum components utilize a special, flat spline groove, which "locks" the screen into place, you don't have to worry about your screens coming loose, or falling out. Aside from the superior widths and holding power that aluminum produces, there is the maintenance issue. Wood installations begin to deteriorate immediately and require costly periodic maintenance, painting, and rot replacement. Aluminum is by far the cleaner, more professional way to install your patio enclosure.All Custom Aluminum constructs screen rooms, patio enclosures, sunrooms, metal awnings, retractable canvas awnings, pool and screen enclosures, greenhouses, motorized screens, and more.

All Custom Aluminum Earns High Praise from Former Director of Building Inpections for Leon County

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. Call us for your free estimate, or call or email us with your plans for a complimentary consultation and immediate quote.

Vinyl Pane Patio Windows

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. All Custom Aluminum constructs screen rooms, patio enclosures, sunrooms, metal awnings, retractable canvas awnings, pool and screen enclosures, greenhouses, motorized screens, and more.

Which Pool Enclosure Design is The Most Adaptable

By far the most versatile and adaptable pool enclosure design is called a Mansard style roof. This design slopes up for one division, comes across level for one or more devisions (depending on the span), and drops down again for one division. Key to this design is the congruency between the width of each division as well as the degree of each division, for all the angled divisions. So, for a typical span of, say, 30', we may split the side wall into five 6' "divisions" which would be delineated by the presence of a cross member. All these cross members align to create the symmetry which makes for an aesthetically pleasing enclosure. What makes the mansard special, and especially different from gabled, or peaked, roof styles, is that the level portion of the span can change length without altering the height of the beam. This allows flexibility in constructing enclosures on existing foundations which may not be square. Moreover, mansard style screen roofs enclose more volume than typical gable style screen roofs. There is also a visual effect, due to the obliquity of the surface of the screening when viewed from the deck and pool, which makes mansard roofs "seem" more open than gables. Of coarse, we are talking about screen roofs which are extremely open in their feel in any case, but it is a matter of degrees. Bottom line, because a gabled roof must be precisely rectangular, if your slab or foundation is not absolutely square, a gable style roof will either create a wedge of slab exposed to the exterior of the enclosure (as the slab grows from end to end), or the pitched roof will have to "span" a greater distance from beam to beam, yielding a wall height which consequently changes with the additional run due to the increase in span. This is a visually odd looking situation best avoided if possible. Mansard screen roofs can be adjusted to fit just about any quadralateral deck, reguardless of how square it is.
