Our 3-season room is almost done.

12 years ago

They just need to finish the ceiling (ran out of the long cedar boards), trim it all out, and install the screen door. So far I'm very impressed with the Eze Breeze windows. Now that the weather has finally warmed up, we're very anxious to start using it.

    We built ours 18 years ago. Best money we ever spent! Enjoy!

    That looks like it will be a fabulous space! Post more pics as you get it completed and furnished.

    It's beautiful! You will enjoy it a lot in your part of the country! Looking forward to the finished pictures. How do you plan to furnish it?

    Love it! Wish we could do a space like this.

    Gorgeous! You are going to love that room!

    That's great...you'll be in there before you know it...then you won't want to leave.

    wow! envious and a tad embarrassed now about my dinky little screened porch. you will love it

    We are going to be gone most of the summer, so we probably won't do anything with furnishings this year. We'll just use our deck furniture, which isn't very old and is very nice. We are getting new living room furniture, and was wondering about using our current furniture out on the porch. A bit concerned about humidity. Any thoughts?

    Love it. May I ask the dimensions of the room?

    What part of the country are you in?

    Great job.

    Thank you all for your kind comments, and for posting.

    Red_lover, dimentions of the room are 22' X 16' and we are in Wisconsin. I think the vaulted ceiling and openness give the impression of a larger room.

    Wow! Can I ask if you used regular glass for the fixed windows or the vinyl? (above the EzeBreeze).
    thanks

    Also, I am looking to do a very short knee wall ju t ike yours under the ezebreeze. Can you post how do did that? Are the posts clad 4x4's? thanks!

  • 12 years ago

    thank you Joyce! those pictures are really helpful. I am printing them out to show our potential contractors.

    For the vinyl vs glass question, I was asking about the fixed trapezoid windows above the ezebreeze. Are those glass, or vinyl like the ezebreeze material ? Also did you get the clear or the tinted ezebreeze?

    thanks

    Nancy .. the trapezoids are vinyl too. Certainly could have been glass for that matter. And we got the clearest tint available, I don't remember if that was totally clear or a very light tint. The porch does limit the light we get in our great room, and didn't want to darken the room any more than necessary.

    We are getting ready to head to the airport. I'll be anxious to read what your plans are when we get back. Good luck.

    thanks and have a great vacation/summer!

    Gorgeous! You must be so excited. :)

    hi Joyce! Hope you are still monitoring this thread. This picture shows the Ezebreeze mounted from the outside. Did you do any other trim to hide the metal flange or did you leave it alone since it blends in with the white trim?

    thanks!

    Nancy- I was wondering the same thing. What did you guys end up doing? The ez breeze guy I spoke with said they aren't meant to be covered up. I'm really at a loss though bc we just removed our porch trim covering what we thought were 4x4 posts, and they're just (3) 2x4's so I'm not sure how this is going to work! We can't trim it as it was before because they aren't 90 degree angles. We surely don't want to leave it that way if it will be noticeable... Am hoping I can cover the flanges on the outside. What do you think?

    Contractor wrapped the posts in azek, then mounted the flanges externally. Everything was painted except the flanges. It no longer looks funny to me. I don't know why I'm not having any luck posting pictures today.

    joyce-6333 - what a wonderful room, love it!

    How did you end up furnishing your room? We are getting ready to have a room built with the eze breeze windows and it won't be conditioned all of the time so worried about humidity if we use regular furniture instead of outdoor furniture.

    Morgan, what did you decide to do? I’m in the same bind!
