How to Retrofit Your Porch with Eze-Breeze Windows
What is an Eze-Breeze Retrofit?
Retrofitting your porch with Eze-Breeze windows starts with taking measurements, checking the existing framing, and choosing the panel style that works best for the space. Once installed, the panels can be opened for fresh air or closed to help keep out rain, wind, pollen, and cooler temperatures.
It’s a good option for people who already have a screened porch but want to get more use out of it. Exterior Additions breaks down what the process involves and what you can expect from an Eze-Breeze retrofit.
