Glass Walls and 3-Season Rooms

 

Here in Colorado Springs, we have a staggering amount of sunny days and we find ourselves spending large amounts of time outside with family and friends.  However, the wind can drive us inside on even the sunniest of summer days.  Adding glass walls to your custom deck will allow you to not only continue enjoying your day, but will not disrupt your views.  There are numerous ways to use glass.  Some customers choose to install glass walls on just one side or corner of their deck.  Others decide to build an entire 3-season room, installing glass windows and doors.  Whatever you choose to do, adding glass can allow you to create your own hideaway that is enjoyable even on the windiest days that Mother Natures send our way.
