What’s the best flooring to complete your screened porch?
Screened porches are technically outdoor spaces. Even though they have a solid roof and enclosed walls, their windows are merely mesh screens to keep out the bugs. Rain and wind can come through the room at any time. Even so, a beautiful screened porch is a great place to be for relaxing and entertaining. It is more than just screens and a roof. What about the floor, for instance? Any of these screened porch flooring options can make your outdoor living space a sight to behold in the best way possible.
Concrete
One of the most basic and durable screened porch flooring options is concrete, even though it is not 100% waterproof as an indoor or outdoor flooring material. If you have a bare concrete floor, you will want to seal it every few years to keep out moisture. Even so, it is a budget-friendly choice and looks good.
Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tile needs a concrete board underneath it. Porcelain is a great choice because it is highly water-resistant and hardy, even more so than ceramic. You can also choose between hundreds of color and pattern options, even going custom.
Patio Pavers
A patio paver flooring makes sense if you install a screened porch over an existing patio, although you can also use brick or concrete pavers for original flooring. Brick, concrete, or stone made for patios will stand the test of time; should it weather, they can look even better.
Waterproof Vinyl
Luxury vinyl plank flooring is typically an indoor flooring choice that has the look of natural wood. An outdoor version of it can give your screened porch the look of natural wood flooring. You can dress it up with an outdoor rug or leave as is.
Wood Deck Tiles
Wood deck tiles sit on plastic tracks that run over a drainage plane. It keeps the wood from coming into contact with running rainwater, which helps them last much longer. Wood deck tiles are chemically treated so they can withstand outdoor elements.
Carpet
Yes, you can also install outdoor carpeting on your screened porch. It can be a simple, neutral color, or it can take on a stylish pattern. It is soft underfoot but easy to clean.
