Screened Porch Flooring


Many homeowners today are choosing the durability and beauty of Ipe (pronounced E-pay) brazilian wood floors for their new screened porches and decks. Ipe has the durability of pressure treated lumber without the cupping, twisting and splintering. The color is also more rich and it is very similar to having hardwood floors outdoors!

Ipe requires an annual application of a UV protectant coating in order to maintain its beautiful appearance. For more information on options for screened porch flooring materials, contact the screened porch experts at Plantation Renovation. Or visit their specialty website: http://www.georgiascreenedporch.com/

Custom Screened Porches

Hi neighbor!

Got Porch?

Oh my! You've gotta have a screened porch to be living in the south. All those pesky flying and biting bugs swarming around your face. That's no way to enjoy the outdoors.

You see, screened porches are like an oasis. From having your morning coffee while reading the paper, laying in the hammock on a Sunday afternoon, or enjoying a candlelit dinner with friends and family: the screened porch is the place to be. From your secluded perch you can read, watch the children play, host a party, take a nap, whatever you want to do...all while enjoying the sights and sounds of the outdoors.

Modern screened porches are built to not only prevent nature from bothering you while you enjoy the gentle breeze, they are also designed to enhance your lifestyle. Modern screened porches are an extension of the living area but with a more natural feel. The environment is designed to be more relaxing and soothing. Many modern screened porches come with built in fireplaces so that you can enjoy the space into the late fall or early spring. Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and wet bars make them ideal for summer get togethers with friends.

If you have been dreaming of your own screened porch, why not make the call that will transform your dream into reality. Call the custom screened porch experts, Plantation Renovation, at (678) 513-2155 and schedule your free in-home consultation. Within weeks, you can have that fully customized screen porch you have always wanted.
