Combined with Beam and Post Support Assembly
Our Aluminum Hard Top Screen Rooms feature insulated roof panels with SmartLok technology. Designed for ease of installation, the snap-lock panels are made with a high-density 1.5 lb expanded polystyrene core and come in 3″, 4″, and 6″ thicknesses. Roof panel thickness is selected based on the desired span from the house wall and local load requirements. A fan beam (see Insulated Roof Panel Details) can be installed in any insulated roof panel. Explore our Screen Room Roofing & Wall Systems for more information and pictures.
Taking no shortcuts, the front roof supports are a set of extruded aluminum beams & posts, creating a properly engineered roof assembly. The screen walls then become inserts into the remaining openings, using extruded aluminum screen wall framing.
Aluminum Hard Top Screen Rooms use nothing but extruded aluminum framing, with the spline groove integrated into the frame itself, locking your screening in place. The framing is available in a 2″ x 2″ system or our stronger 2″ x 3″ sizing. The factory-painted aluminum framing (Lifetime Warranty) is available in 4 colors – white, clay, black & bronze.

The strength and longevity of extruded aluminum far exceed those of wood. All extruded aluminum parts in this wall-mounted hard top screen room system carry a warranted baked-on enamel paint finish.
Screen Room Options & Customization
As you design your Aluminum Hard Top Screen Rooms, you will eventually need to think about the screening you want. We can help you decide on which type of screening you might need. Door placements and the number of doors are also another area where you can make choices in your design. Lastly, you can choose between a bottom kick plate or a simple horizontal chair rail, which can be placed at any height you wish.

What Are Your Local Snow, Wind & Permit Requirements?
Your city’s building department issues building permits. You may or may not need an actual permit for your installation. This responsibility rests with the homeowner. It is our strong recommendation that you obtain your permit before purchasing. We can help with that! However, panel thickness, beam placements, beam size, distance between posts out front… all are a function of the load (snow & wind) that your cover will be subject to. Though you may not require a permit, we ask that you acquire the load requirements for your area, so that we can supply you with the ‘correct’ thickness and configuration of materials!
This table describes how far a panel can span away from the wall out to the beam & posts assembly
How to read the table: For example… a 3″ thick roof panel will span 12’7″ away from the wall under a 20 lb. loading
