Was a steam shower an option?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi, Katie. Thank you for your question. The subject of a steam shower was never approached by this particular customer. However, it could have absolutely been incorporated into this design should they have wanted it. **Q: Cooktop looks really nice.** *(in Photo Questions)* Cooktop looks really nice. I am wondering what the manufacturer and model is? Like the cabinet handles also. A: We love Frigidaire Appliances! This is a Frigidaire Professional 36'' Induction Cooktop. Here's a link to the exact cooktop. **Q: Are these wood frames?** *(in Photo Questions)* Also, are these windows or glass panels? A: Yes, wood frames with an Azek wrap for long lasting durability and low maintenance. This is a screened in porch—no glass. **Q: Where did you get the screens? They are waterproof? We are thinking ab** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello, thank you for your question. We have all of our screens custom made to fit our jobs right here in Baltimore. Since this is a screen room they are not waterproof. Screens allow for air flow in the space while keeping the bugs out. If you are looking for something that will be waterproof you may want to consider a sunroom instead of a screen room. http://www.twellis.com/gallery\_additions.php this link is to a sunroom we did for a client.
