Porch Windows- Where do I purchase the product?

QUESTION: On your front porch ideas page there is a picture about halfway down with purple flowers and a white porch swing.

What is the name of the product that "encloses" that portion of the porch, and where can I purchase it? At last - something that can make my front porch "livable!"

Thank you!

ANSWER: Thanks so much for visiting our site.

That was a beautiful porch. We drove past it on our way to Gatlinburg, TN. Those panels are actually large framed glass windows that are hung from hooks from the header. I'm pretty sure they had them custom made as I've never seen those sold as a product anywhere. You'd definitely want to secure them as strong winds would play havoc in a storm.

I'm sure you could find someone local in your area that could custom make them for you also.

Another option, and one that might be less expensive, are screen porch windows that can be also be custom made. They are made from a poly material (not glass) that works really well for porches. They would be lighter and would fit between your existing porch columns. You can even install them yourself or hire a contractor.
They typically come with built-in screens but I'm pretty sure you could have them made without screening.

Hope this helps.
