Creating The Perfect Winterized Florida Lanai Part I

Florida's winter months, while milder than northern states, can still bring uncomfortable conditions. From cold, damp winds to occasional rains, the shift in weather often pushes homeowners back indoors. However, with the right outdoor design solutions, you can enjoy your patio or lanai year-round.

One of the most effective ways to protect your outdoor space during the cooler months is through MagnaTrack Motorized Screens, Installed by Florida Living Outdoor. These screens are designed to block between 80-100% of the cold, humid winds and driving rain that are typical during Florida winters. The self-correcting tension system ensures they function flawlessly, even in challenging weather conditions, making them the toughest screen system on the market. Not only do they protect against the elements, but they also maintain your outdoor view, preserving the natural connection to the outside world—a key feature for Florida homeowners.

For added comfort, Infratech infrared heaters are the perfect complement to these motorized screens. In the cooler months, when temperatures can drop as low as 15°F in Central Florida, a well-placed infrared heater can be the difference between a cozy, welcoming space and an area too cold to enjoy. These heaters provide targeted warmth, allowing you to create a comfortable environment without having to rely on bulkier, less efficient heating options. When installed by Florida Living Outdoor, you’re assured that your heaters and screens are not only functional but also seamlessly integrated into the overall design of your outdoor space.

Florida has its own unique type of cold, and many homeowners find themselves rushing to buy heaters and firewood as temperatures drop. But by planning ahead, you can ensure that your outdoor space is always ready, no matter how unpredictable the winter months get. As a proud partner and vendor in the Central Florida Dealer Network, Florida Living Outdoor delivers professional installation of MagnaTrack Motorized Screens and Infratech heaters, providing a long-term solution to Florida’s winter weather.

Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering or simply relaxing with a book, these installations give you the best of both worlds—protection from the elements and a space that stays visually open and inviting. So, instead of retreating inside when the cold fronts roll in, you can keep enjoying your outdoor space, knowing that it’s designed to withstand anything Florida’s winter throws your way.
