What Is The Difference Between A Lanai And A Patio?

By definition, a patio and a lanai are significantly different. A lanai has walls, windows, and a roof. By definition, a patio is an outdoor space that has a poured foundation or decking without walls, windows, or a roof. However, the terms have been commingled and there’s a discrepancy between what is what as these have become “buzzwords”.

Here is a little more clarification:

A patio is an outdoor space that is paved/has a foundation without walls, windows, or a roof. Another term for a patio would be a deck.
A porch is a patio without walls or windows, but it does have a roof.
A veranda is a larger version of a porch with decorative walls and railings and a roof.
A lanai is a porch or veranda and has walls, windows, and a roof.

As you can see, these terms are definitely used loosely. Now that you have a better understanding, let’s see a few examples of patios and lanais that we’ve built.

Including patio enclosures in your home is one of the best decisions you will ever make when it comes to home improvement. It will not only make your house look beautiful, but also draw admiration from your neighbors and visitors while increasing your home’s value. Patio enclosures give you the ability to enjoy the beauty of the outside while inside your house. Patio enclosures not only provide a space to relax. The extra space can serve other purposes. If you’ve been aspiring to make an addition to your home, try patio enclosures.

What Are The Benefits Of A Patio Enclosure?

Having a patio built is an investment that reaps rewards right now and in the future. Not only can you experience nature whenever you want, but the value of your home improves. A patio gives you extra space, even being used as a playroom, a separate family room, or even an office. For those on the fence about having a patio installed, here are a few more benefits to consider.

Increase the Value of Your House

Well-planned patio enclosures will increase the value of your property. A patio enclosure can be a great deal more achievable in time and cost to add to your home than a traditional room option. This will give you a superior profit for your investment if you decide to sell your home.

Enjoy the Outdoors All Year Round

Regardless of whether it’s sunny, blustery or breezy, hot or cold, you can enjoy your patio enclosure. Designs that include windows with screens are the most versatile. Irrespective of the climate outside, a patio enclosure will give you some control over how you experience the weather.

Have The Extra Space You Need

Use patio enclosures as a children’s playroom, a dining room or even a home office. Enjoy a barbecue without the mosquitoes. Enjoy the views of your backyard in the shade.

What to Consider Before Building a Patio Enclosure or Sunroom

There are several factors to consider before deciding to add a patio enclosure to your home. First, consider your budget and plan. The prices should be based on your plan to avoid extra costs. The type of patio enclosure you choose will depend on the capacity of your room. Secondly, consider the tastes and preferences of your designs. Go for your favorite designs. Additionally, consider the layout of your home. Patio enclosures should compliment your home in way where it upgrades the value. Be deliberate and take as much time as is needed when deciding on these variables. Keep in mind the result that you will pick an ideal approach to improve the excellence, ease of use and estimated value of your home.
