Custom 3-Season Room with Sliding Glass Doors & Drop Down Shades

Extending Outdoor Enjoyment with Glass Walls & Windows

Our clients already loved their covered deck but wanted to enjoy it through more of Colorado’s changing seasons.  They reached out to Decks by Schmillen to find a way to make their outdoor space usable most of the year, even during cooler weather or windier days.

We designed a plan to enclose the existing deck using custom glass walls and sliding glass doors and windows – turning it into a comfortable 3-season room that offers both protection from the weather and flexibility.

Smart Design and Seamless Integration

Because large glass panels have specific size limitations, our team added a structural beam at the front of the deck to support the new structure.  To maintain easy access, we installed a sliding glass door leading to the open deck area.  At the other end of the enclosure, a sliding glass window allows the homeowners to open the space to natural breezes on warm days.

Year-Round Comfort and Style

To enhance comfort and privacy, our clients chose to include drop-down shades, which help block sunlight and keep the space cooler during summer afternoons.  The result is a bright, elegant, and weather-resistant three-season room that extends the usability of the deck throughout most of the year – without losing the open airy feeling they love!
