Why You Should Love Screened Porches

What exactly is a porch and why would you want one? The word "porch" has roots in French and Latin with the meaning of "passage." A porch is a platform typically at ground level that is external to the main walls of the home. There are many different styles and designs of porches around the world. A home might have a small porch by a door. Victorian homes have porches that wrap all the way around the house. Porches are often enclosed with columns, latticework, windows, or screens. Porches may be covered with a roof and they may be simply a platform. Bethesda screened porches have many functional advantages to them that you should consider when building a new home or remodeling an old one. 
One wonderful thing about porches is the added architectural structural elements they provide. A porch is a permanent addition to the home that can add tremendously to the style and appeal of your home. Porches are also a great way of extending your living space. Porches are often filled with furniture for outdoor dining, lounging, parties, and whatever else you can think of. Screened porches are particularly wonderful for extending living spaces because the screens keep out bugs and rodents from your space. This allows you to enjoy the outdoors without being terrified by an animal jumping out from under your chair or annoyed by forever swatting away mosquitoes. You can enjoy a cool evening, a colorful sunset, or the smell of rain from a covered, screened porch. Porches can also add great value to your home. Many people love porches as a barrier to their home from nature. If you're out digging in the dirt, you can take off your dirty shoes on the porch instead of tracking the dirt through the house. Bethesda screened porches will help your home be more functional and beautiful, while helping you enjoy life a little bit more.
