Hi - what is your temperature outside is cold and with large windows? »

Whitten Architects This is considered a 3-Season porch. While it is obviously not well insulated, it is separated from the rest of the house via exterior grade french doors. The floor is radiant to allow for some space warming.

Used in winter too? - Can this room be used in winter and summer? Is there a foundation under this porch? »
· Comment · 4 months ago
Whitten Architects Hello and thank you for your question. This is considered a 3-season porch ... meaning that due to its sunny southern exposure it can be a comfortable space in the shoulder seasons and sometimes on a sunny winter day. It is over a foundation and the concrete slab below the bluestone tiles includes radiant tubing. This provides some space warming. In the summertime the glass panels are swapped out for insect screens.

What color are the walls as well as the dark trim color used on the frame of the window? »
· Comment · 9 months ago
Whitten Architects Thank you for your question. The wall trim is finished with "Cabot's" OVT solid acrylic stain - color "#0611 White". The screen / window frames are painted a custom color.

Rustling Oaks Farm - I have been trying to locate this type of floor tile with no luck locally. Does anyone know the specific name/type, and where one can purchase -- Lowes, Home Depot, specialty tile store? Thank you for any information provided! »

Diana Bier Interiors, LLC Of course I don't know since this is not my work, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's natural cleft bluestone.

what happens in summer with screens if it rains? Had screen porch before and rain use to flood in.....? »
· Comment · 10 months ago
Whitten Architects Location of the screen porch in relationship to the surrounding environment is always pretty important. This porch is protected from wind driven rain by the surrounding woods. In addition, there a decent sized roof overhangs above the screens. If a little water does get in, the south facing orientation allows the sun to quickly dry things out.

What windows did you use - What is the type of windowsyou used that can swap out the glass and have screens in the summer. I am looking for exactly this type of room. »
· Comment · 11 months ago
lizziek Yes, I understand that. But how are they attached to the frame/casing?

Diana Bier Interiors, LLC google "Combination Door Company" in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. We used them for our screened porch and have both screens and glass panels. They are fantastic!
