Quick Vocabulary

Deck Or Patio? Sunroom Or Screen Room?

Everyone mixes these up, and that is completely fine. Here is the quick version so you can picture your project clearly.

Deck vs. Patio

A deck is an elevated surface, usually attached to the home. A patio sits at ground level. Lots of folks say patio when they mean a deck, and your rep will know exactly what you mean either way.

Sunroom vs. Screen Room

A sunroom is fully enclosed with glass walls and can be enjoyed year round, especially with a heating and cooling unit. A screen room has screened walls with a solid roof. It is not climate controlled, and it is a different product at a different price point.

Pergola vs. Patio Cover

A pergola is an open overhead structure, all about shade and style. A patio cover has a solid roof, all about protection from rain and sun. They get confused all the time.

“Trex Deck” vs. Composite Deck

Trex is one composite brand we carry, not the only option. TimberTech composite and PVC decking are also on the table, which is exactly why this comparison exists.
