Living in the United States, we’re fortunate to have all the advances of modern medicine and technology. As such, congenital disabilities are relatively few, particularly those involving missing limbs. Still, large numbers of people are born without limbs or go onto lose them later in life. Military service, accidents, and disease are all common causes of limb loss. While persons with missing limbs can still lead quality lives, it may be harder for them to do so. Thankfully, modern technology has led the development of highly advanced prosthetic and artificial limbs.

Historically, prosthetic limbs in Utah were designed almost entirely for aesthetic purpose. Little to no regard was given to the functionality of artificial limbs. Today, prosthetics are designed to give their users the most functional life possible. One of the biggest components of prosthetic limb design is fit.

Perfectly fitting a prosthetic limb takes time but is essential to its working properly. Several visits to a prosthetist are necessary in order to appropriately fit an artificial limb. More visits become needed for recent amputees and children. Residual limbs of new amputees change size and shape as they heal. As for children, they grow. Both of these reasons add to the time it takes to achieve a perfect fit.

The way a prosthetic limb fit is important for several reasons. The first is comfort, artificial limbs that are uncomfortable to wear and use only serve to make life difficult. As physical activity and body weight put pressure on a prosthetic, it can cause the wearer discomfort and pain. Secondly, a perfect fit gives the wearer maximum control and articulation of the artificial limb. An improper fit makes prosthetics difficult and inefficient to use. Finally, artificial limbs in Salt Lake City that fit perfectly are more likely to remain secured and usable to the wearer.

Finding the perfect fit isn’t a one-time thing. As a prosthesis user’s body changes due to weight loss or growth, it becomes necessary to readjust the artificial limb. With a perfectly fitting prosthetic limb, people are able to achieve far more than they could without it. Today’s prosthetic users are going the same places and doing the same things as everyone else. Artificial limbs that fit perfectly allow their wearers to run marathons, climb mountains, ride bicycles and engage in all sorts of daily physical activities. With the perfect fit, prosthetic wearers have the best chance to live a fulfilling and successful life.

Dealing With Spider Veins

           Spider veins in Utah are becoming increasingly common in both men and women. It’s estimated that over 50 percent of women and 45 percent of men suffer from spider veins or a similar vein condition. As they develop, spider veins look more and more like a spider’s web, hence the name. In addition to being unsightly and unattractive, spider veins bring other problems. Following are a few things you know about spider veins.  

Cause: Spider veins result when blood backs up causing increased pressure, these veins are typically near the surface of the skin. What causes the blood to back up isn’t entirely understood. However, genetics, menopause, hormone changes, and injuries are all thought to contribute.

Appearance: Either red, blue, or purple, spider veins are blood veins that have become visible through the skin. They’re easily recognized by the branching pattern that they create which looks similar to a spider’s web.

Location: Spider veins occur most commonly on the legs, particularly behind the knees. The feet and ankles are also common places for spider veins to appear. Though uncommon, spider veins are known to develop on the face.  

Severity: More often than not, spider veins aren’t a problem beyond being visually unappealing. However, on occasion spider veins are a sign of more serious problems with blood circulation that should be treated appropriately. Knowing the level of severity for spider veins can only be done with a medical examination.

Other Symptoms: Though not everyone experiences these symptoms, spider veins are known to cause mild itching and burning sensations.

Treatment: Sclerotherapy is the most widely used non-surgical treatment option for spider veins. During sclerotherapy, medication is injected directly into spider veins through use of a specialized needle. The medication causes blood in the veins to clot and the veins to close up. The closed veins are then gradually reabsorbed by the body and disappear.

Recovery: Sclerotherapy is an outpatient treatment procedure meaning no recovery time is needed for the affected areas. Patients leave the doctor’s office on the same day that treatment is administered. Although recovery isn’t required, it is recommended that Sclerotherapy patients exercise and avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time.

Side Effects: Following sclerotherapy, it’s not uncommon for patients to experience itching, skin discoloration, inflammation, and cramping. Typically, these side effects cease within 48 hours after treatment.  

Spider veins are unsightly and in some cases a sign of more severe problems. Consulting a vein specialist in Salt Lake City can get you on the path to treating and eliminating your spider veins.

The same applies to bathroom remodels, complete or partial; you’ll get more money for your home.

Once repairs and remodels are out of the way, you’re ready to stage your home. In staging your home, you want to make it easy for buyers to envision themselves living there. Your home should be sparkling clean from floor to ceiling. Flowers on tables, fresh scents throughout the house and properly arranged furniture invite buyers and welcome them in. Don’t forget about the yard, untrimmed lawns, weeds in flower beds and overgrown trees turn away potential buyers before they ever set foot in your house.

Before placing your home on the market, there’s one thing left to do; find the right real estate agent in Riverton. The right agent will take time to understand your goals for selling your house and help you reach them. With their extensive networks, real estate agents are able to properly and efficiently market your home to potential buyers.

What Is a Pontoon, and How Does It Compare to a Typical Boat? What Are Pontoons Typically Used For?

Summer is around the corner, which means a lot of “fun in the sun”! There are many ways you can have “fun in the sun” but with the best being a day out on the lake in a pontoon boat from Columbia. Pontoon boats are very versatile in so many ways. They are:

Great for Families: Pontoons are an ideal way to get the whole family together, whether you have teenagers or young children. Your teenagers will be engaged in the different water toys you can use while on a pontoon, like water skis, wakeboards, etc. When it comes to younger children, they are a lot easier to entertain in an open space with plenty of room to roam. They can take naps on the couches, color on the table, etc. There is something for each member of the family to enjoy.

Great for Fishing: Fishing boats are great but only if you are just fishing. Pontoon boats allow for great fishing plus other activities. The pontoon has a shallow draft that makes it fun to fish from. It is very stable so it will not scare the fish away. And because of the size and space of the pontoon, you can try different areas to fish from without having to move the pontoon.

Great for Comfort: The pontoon offers comfortable seating for more than ten people, which is a great difference compared to a standard deck boat. Most pontoons also come equipped with couches for ample relaxation. And if your guests start to feel uncomfortable with hunger pains, no worries, most pontoons have a full BBQ right on the boat. Between the room, food, and smooth ride, your guests will for sure enjoy their time.

Great for Safety Reasons: For little kids, a pontoon boat provides more room for the kids to stay in safely. They are enclosed with high walls, so children are less likely to fall out. The size and weight of the pontoon take away the worry of the boat flipping over. Like any boat, you should always take caution in rough waters and avoid bad weather.

Great for Watersports: Most optimal speed for watersports is around 22 mph, which a pontoon can easily handle.

Have you ever heard the song Pontoon by Little Big Town? In that song, they summarize it perfectly on what it’s like to be on a pontoon. Some of the lyrics sing, “On the pontoon, Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof, Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to, Party in slow motion, Out here in the open, Mm, motorboatin.” Find out for yourself all the significant benefits of a pontoon and contact Black Water Marine boat shop in Columbia, SC for more information.

We live in a time where everything is mass produced including quilts. Despite that fact, many of us still enjoy and prefer to sow our quilts and other projects. We may make quilts to give as gifts or to sell to earn a little money on the side. Whatever the reason they’re made, homemade quilts are attractive in that they're handmade, one of a kind and come in an infinite number of patterns and designs.

        When making quilts, there comes a time when stitching needs to be undone. This may be because of a mistake in sowing, a decision to change the pattern, or need to resize a quilt. Traditionally, seams are ripped using a seam ripper, while this tool gets the job done, it’s not the most effective. With a seam ripper in one hand and a quilt in the other, it can take over an hour to undo a 6ft by 8ft quilt made of 9in squares.

        Removing quilt stitches the old fashioned way takes forever as every stitch needs to be ripped individually. To do this, the quilt frequently needs to be repositioned which takes time and the use of both hands. The whole process almost requires a third hand. Pikki Designs recognized that improvement was needed and created QikPik.

QikPik is a revolutionary tool that makes ripping seams three times faster than the traditional method. The device works because of its simplicity. QikPik is a plastic arm that attaches to a table or countertop using a c-clamp. At the top of QikPik is a razor sharp blade for removing hems. In the middle is a fixed seam ripper.

        Once QikPik is attached to a table, a seamstress has both her hands free to hold a quilt. By using both hands to position a quilt near the fixed seam ripper, stitches are removed with a simple and effortless gliding motion. With both hands holding a quilt, the two sides can be pulled apart as the stitches are ripped. There’s no need to reposition a quilt after ripping just a one or two stitches.    

If you know how to rip seams the old fashioned way, you know it’s a time-consuming process. With Qikpik, the same 6ft by 8ft quilt that takes an hour to unstitch takes only 20 minutes. QikPik is the third arm you need when ripping quilt stitches; with it, you spend less time fixing mistakes and more time sowing.

The Importance of a Lawyer in Auto Accidents

Every day, thousands of commercial semi-trucks drive on Texas highways alongside parents taking their kids to school, people running off to work, and alongside you. The sheer number of semis on the roads is an indication of their importance. However, the number of tractor-trailers also increases the odds of being involved in an accident with one. If you are in a crash with a semi, the size of the truck means massive damage. On average, a fully loaded truck and with one trailer weighs 80,000 pounds. Being hit by something that big almost certainly guarantees damage to your car and injury to you. Having an attorney on your side ensures that you’ll receive full compensation for the damage caused.

Unlike accidents with a regular driver, collisions with semis involve a lot more people than just the driver. In addition to the truck driver, the truck company and its insurance company are also involved. Trying to sue the truck company for damages and injuries on your own is quite difficult. More often than not, the truck company and their insurer will come at you until you agree to settle for less than what you’re owed.

By hiring an experienced injury attorney in Wichita Falls you greatly increase your chances of being fairly and fully compensated. Attorneys look into issues such as speeding, drowsy driving, how long the driver has been on the road, the cargo type, weight and distribution, and many other factors. When it comes to driving a semi, federal and state regulations are strict. An attorney who understands those regulations can call out the truck driver and company on their faults and increase your settlement claim.

Lawyers don’t only help by going after the truck driver and company but by supporting you. Being involved in a collision with a semi can be a very traumatic experience with some very serious consequences. Handling a lawsuit is complex and exhausting on its own, let alone while you’re recovering from a serious accident. With an auto accident lawyer in Texas on your side you can focus on recovery while the lawyer focuses on the lawsuit including organizing the large amounts of paperwork.

If you’ve been involved in a collision with a semi, don’t take the lawsuit on by yourself. Enlist the aid of an experienced attorney and get the help you need to obtain the settlement you deserve.

Training for Professional Truck Drivers

If you’ve spent any time on a freeway today, chances are you’ve seen men and women in a career that you’ve never considered. This particular career doesn’t require you to earn a four-year degree or end up with $30,000 of student debt. It’s a career where training takes less than two months, and positions are available with hundreds of companies all across the United States. Have you ever thought about starting a career as a truck driver?

Becoming a long haul trucker in Oklahoma requires 3 to 6weeks of training. Compare that to the 112 weeks of a four-year college degree, and it’s not time at all. Unlike traditional colleges which charge you based on credit hours, truck driving schools charge one price for the entire program. On the high end, tuition for CDL schools is about $8,000. That may seem like a lot of money for just six weeks but remember that that’s the high end and that truck drivers are in high demand so finding a job is easy.

By now you’re certainly wondering how much money truck drivers earn. The average salary for first-year truck drivers is $40,000. That’s about $10k less than a college graduate makes in their first year. However, during the four years college students are in school, truck drivers are gaining experience, earning pay raises with bonuses on top, and working towards tenure. Within eight years of driving truck, many drivers are making upwards of $75,000 a year, not bad for six weeks of training.

In addition to excellent salaries, the majority of trucking companies offer their drivers benefits such as medical, dental and vision insurance. Life insurance, retirement plans, and paid vacation aren’t uncommon benefits for truck drivers. If you’re wondering about all the time spent on the road, truck drivers typically get to pick their schedule. This often means that drivers get to choose whether they do local, long distance, or regional runs. Another advantage of becoming a truck driver in Oklahoma City is having a CDL which is necessary for dozens of other jobs. Finally, the constantly changing scenery is another great benefit of driving a truck; it sure beats staring at a cubical all day.

Driving a truck as a career doesn’t come without challenges, but then again, nothing does. However, the job security, good pay, and host of benefits are well worth the short time and low cost of training. It may not be the career you had in mind, but truck driving is worth considering.

Tips for Planning a Business Event

Running a business comes with meetings. You may hold meetings between departments in your company, partner companies, or clients. It’s also possible that getting together with your company isn’t formal at all. Your next business event may be an annual holiday party or a 10th-year celebration. Regardless of why a meeting is being held, these universal tips will help ensure its success.  

Foremost, know your events purpose, audience, and budget. The details of throwing a corporate barbecue will be vastly different from that of a staff meeting. Knowing why you're having the meeting and who will be there is critical to planning the rest of the event.

Key to the success of any event is hosting it at the proper venue. When choosing a location, there are a few logistics to consider. How many people are expected? How long will the event last? Renting a meeting venue in Salt Lake City for 100 people can cost several hundred up to a couple of thousand dollars. Also, consider whether or not you need space and technology for presentations. Look for a location that best accommodates your needs. Once you’ve decided on an event venue in Utah, book it.

It’s best to plan business meetings and events early as great venues require booking a month or more in advance. Planning early gives you ample time to lock in a location and advertise the event. Booking in advance gives attendees the chance to save the date and presenters time to prepare. Knowing your purpose, a place and people, you can begin planning one of the most crucial parts of any event, food.

Providing a well-cooked meal is a sure way to increase attendance at events. Sharing a meal also brings people together. As important as food is, it’s often one of the most difficult things to plan for an event. Consult with your host venue. In addition to a location, great venues offer catering services for an added fee. By choosing to have your event catered, you don’t have to figure out portion sizes or worry about cooking. Instead, you just choose meals from a menu then focus on the rest of the event.

Planning business meetings and events take a considerable amount of time and effort, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Though there’s more to an event than what’s mentioned here, following these guidelines is enough to get you started. With a bit of thought and effort, you can host an enjoyable and successful event.

Obedience Training for Dogs

Dogs make excellent companions; they’re loyal and devoted friends. For dog owners, it’s a rewarding experience when their pet is excitedly waiting for them at the door. Going for a stroll through a park or curling up together on a couch makes owning a dog a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. As great of friends as dogs are, they’re almost entirely dependent on their owners. Dogs require food, water, and exercise, all of which is the responsibility of the dogs’ owners to provide. Another essential part of dog care, for dog and owner, is obedience training.

Training a dog near Milwaukee is best done early in its life, but even old dogs can learn new tricks. Well trained dogs walk well on leashes, don’t chase other animals, don’t bark at the door and don’t jump on guests. Clearly, obedience training can save dog owners a lot of frustration and embarrassment. Obedience training also helps and protects dogs.

Regrettably, many dogs are verbally and physically abused by people when they fail to obey commands. Dogs that don’t sit or stay on command can quickly cause their owners to become angry and frustrated. Disobedience is rarely a dogs fault; it’s owners who are responsible for the training of their pets. Many dogs go untrained because training is a daunting and time-consuming task. Thankfully, professional dog training services are widely available.

Professional dog training in Chicago offers the benefits of knowledgeable and experienced trainers. Expert advice and training help dog owners learn appropriately and consistently train their dogs. Typical training programs are broken down into three levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced.

Early on, dogs learn to obey simple commands that are good for any situation. Advanced courses prepare dogs to compete in shows such as those hosted by the American Kennel Club. These events allow dogs and their owners to show off obedience, skills, and abilities. The excellent training required for these competitions is the pinnacle of pride for dogs and their owners. Dog shows display true companionship between dogs and their owners.

Whether or not dog owners plan to compete, training is critically important. Regardless of current training and obedience, every dog and their owner can benefit from a professional training course. Obedient dogs offer less frustration and challenges and more affection and pleasure. Having a well-trained and obedient dog will strengthen any companionship and make every dog owner proud.

Having a substantial roof overhead is the most basic requirement of any home, but how can you tell when it’s time for a new one to prevent future damage. Here are four questions to ask to help identify if your shingles might be worse for wear and in need of an upgrade.

How long has it been?

The age of roof shingles and the number of layers can affect their durability. If it’s been more than 20 years since the roof was installed, there is a high probability it's in need of replacement. An excellent way to tell roof shingle age is looking to the slopes of the home for any signs of the shingles curling or buckling.  

2. Are any shingles missing?

If pieces are missing from the from the roof, that’s a visible sign that repairs are needed, but where is the best place to look? Missing shingles on the outside of the roof could indicate the roof is falling. Check the roof valleys for missing pieces is also crucial. This is the essential part of the roof where precipitation is supposed to flow into the gutters naturally, and if there is damage, it could make the home incline to roof leaks near Lexington.

3. Is there light shining through the roof boards?

This is one case where seeing the light is not a good thing. Daylight coming through roof boards may indicate missing shingles or holes that aren’t seen as quickly from the side of the house. Going into the the attic and looking for breaks of light through the ceiling is the best way to detect this.

4. Is there any sudden moisture inside the home?

Leaks through the roof can cause rot or mold to occur. This kind of fungi and bacteria can grow within 24 to 48 hours of water-related problems. The source of the leak may not be directly under the wet spot you find, since the water may travel downward before it begins to drip into the structure. If drains, gutters or downspouts aren’t securely attached, this may aggravate leaks if water can’t exit freely from the roof.

If you answered yes to any of the following questions, it might be time to get a new roof for your Lexington home! Contact us with any questions, and we’ll do what we can to make sure your home has a supportive roof.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

It is essential to be aware of the state of varicose veins and to have them reviewed by qualified professional. If you're concerned about any of the previous symptoms, feel free to schedule a consultation with us for more information. Treatments for Vein Disease in Morristown are available, and nothing is more important than your quality of life.

Many people hear about varicose veins as a cosmetic issue, but some don’t know what causes them.

Varicose veins are the result of natural circulation being interrupted in various areas of the body  After arteries transport blood throughout the body, veins re-circulate this blood back to the heart. As the body ages, the valves in these veins may naturally wear over time and let some blood remain in the veins. This can cause chronic leg fatigue or pain.

Varicose veins have the potential to appear on any part of the body, but legs and feet are the most common due to the increased pressure that walking upright puts on the lower body. These veins are continually working against the flow of gravity, and this makes them the most natural place for varicose veins to occur.

Veins with this disorder will typically appear a dark blue color and may look swollen or twisted under the skin. Varicose veins are usually self-diagnosable due to the visual aspect of the condition, but several symptoms can accompany them that may indicate underlying circulatory problems.

Though some people do not show not any, other patients may develop symptoms over time that become noticeable as they interrupt normal life activities.

Swollen legs are one of the most common symptoms since blood tends to pool in the legs when veins aren’t functioning at an ideal level. Standing and sitting for long periods and most sedentary positions may aggravate this symptom.

Swollen blood vessels under the skin may also occur and become painful over an extended period.

Discoloration of the skin may occur, in addition to the blue color of the veins. Redness partnered with inflammation may appear first, and may gradually turn into a darker red or tan as the skin becomes damaged due to red blood cell destruction.

Bruising may develop due to the thinning of the veins walls.

Legs that become heavy the more a person walks or moves throughout the day can be an additional indicator of the poor circulation. The feeling may be attributed to trying to wade through water, and below the knee is a common are to feel the sensation.

Itching sensations that may be due to dry skin around the affected veins, or from stress on the surrounding tissue.

Bleeding leg ulcers that do not heal are a symptom of the varicose veins progressing to an advanced state of venous disease.

It is essential to be aware of the state of varicose veins and to have them reviewed by qualified professional. If you're concerned about any of the previous symptoms, feel free to schedule a consultation with us for more information. Treatments for Vein Disease in Morristown are available, and nothing is more important than your quality of life.

Three Things to Consider when you Visit your Primary Physician

When you face a potential medical emergency, thoughts can be split between wanting help immediately and wanting to see a care provider that is incredibly familiar with your medical history.

Here are some tips to help aid you in making the right decision.

1. If possible, check with your primary care doctor first before choosing a medical facility for treatment.

If your regular doctor is available during the ailment, that should always be the first call you make unless the situation is immediately life threatening. They know your history best, and if the condition is something that warrants emergency or outside care, they will be the best person to receive recommendations from. Seeing a Saratoga Springs primary physician for regular visits, wellness checkups and vaccinations will help to identify emergency situations that come outside of your regular treatment.

2. If your medical condition is chronic or ongoing, it is best to see a primary care physician.

Though certain symptoms or conditions may require hospital emergency room visits, it is always advised to follow up with a primary care physician for non-life threatening symptoms or treatment for a chronic illness. A primary care physician tracks your medical history and is the provider you would follow up with to analyze your progress. Care from outside and emergency facilities are episodic, so the staff does not typically track ongoing patient progress past curing the immediate illness. Your physician will be the central manager of your medical treatment, and their insight will be able to get you the best specialist, medication prescription or treatment recommendation for a condition that is affecting your daily life.

3. Detect whether the symptoms are major or minor.

Your primary care physician and a hospital emergency room have facilities equipped to handle different medical scenarios.

Your primary care physician in Lehi is most suited to see for illnesses that you may be able to wait to make an appointment for. They can help treat you for situations such as minor allergic reactions or attacks, cold or flu symptoms, lightheadedness, dehydrations, minor wounds (burns, cuts, lacerations, bites,etc.), skin conditions and nausea or similar stomach conditions.

Emergency room recommended visits may include symptoms such as sudden, intense pains in the chest or head, broken bones, high fevers in adults or children, accidental swallowing of toxic substances, wounds requiring stitches, seizures, eye injuries, and even severely altered mental states.

Always make sure to check with your primary care physician for treatment options not mentioned on this list. If you have any questions regarding these recommended tips, feel free to contact Riverton and Zenith Family Health Centers. We’d be happy to help identify the ongoing medical needs of your entire family.

The benefit of Tax Planning

Everyday tasks run smoothly with a little help, and during tax season, that extra assistance can go a long way financially.

The more complex your economic environment, the more it pays to make sure no crucial details are going overlooked. Tax filing software can be beneficial to individuals with single sources of income or small family sizes. However, those with large families or growing or expanding businesses may not find they are getting the refund they would have if the numbers had been calculated with a more human touch.

Tax advisors in Salt Lake City are trained to help you file your returns in the way that best suits your economic situation, and expenses in your daily life you could casually overlook may be the difference between a more substantial tax return and overpaying the IRS.

These details might include unforeseen medical expenses during the fiscal year that your insurance didn’t entirely cover, costs of being a student while seeking higher education to support a higher income, or even the long-term effect of whether you are currently renting or own your home. You may qualify for tax deductions on these living expenses, or similar, depending on the regulations in place during that fiscal year.

Responsibly saving for retirement is even something that can earn you a tax break depending on the amount you made within the year and how much was paid into the retirement fund. Your tax planner will be aware of any changes in the current system and can advise you based on your situation.

Another area that tax planners from Utah can assist with is teaching you how to record charitable donations. They will help you know whether a gift in cash is a high enough amount to warrant documentation from the organization,  how to document the condition and worth of item donations, and how even small details like gas mileage used in the name of a charity event can be logged to your tax benefit.

Outside of the many financial perks that are gained from their council, tax planners provide invaluable peace of mind. Whether your situation is continually fluctuating or remains consistent, it is a lifted burden to have someone that is familiar with your financial history and makes it their job to be your advocate. They also provide an excellent source of wisdom so that you are improving the way you manage and file your finances each year to create your best future.

If you are seeking a financial mentor and advocate for the next time you file during tax season, reach out to our investment advisors. We’ll be happy to help you plan and reach your financial goals with consultation services and one on one meetings so that we make your benefit our priority.

Add Value to Your Home with a Sunroom

Everyone needs a place they can escape the daily stress that may arise from inside their home. What if a personal oasis suited for any weather was located just a few square feet off of that home?

Adding a sunroom to a home in knoxville is a great way to maximize use of your property for private leisure, social entertaining and even adding additional value to the house.

Sunrooms come in three-season and four-season designs. A three-season model is more cost effective and utilizes a screen, but its use may be limited during precipitation and winter weather. A four-season model is the best way to get year-round use of a sunroom, and it can even be built with energy efficient windows to regulate temperature and keep utility costs down.

An adequately shielded sunroom can turn a patio or any other outdoor living space into weather-protected, bug-resistant, multi-season haven. It’s the best way to enjoy the outdoors without battling with the elements for an optimal time to entertain friends and family.

Sunrooms are a great place to spend time during the day due to the natural light, and it can help keep power costs down within in the house if you utilize it as a dining room, rec room, or any other utilitarian space your family would usually spend a lot of time. Families that have always wanted to invest in a hot tub and have no place to put one can take advantage of a four-season designed sunroom to have one installed.

Depending on the size of the sunroom, it can double as extra outdoor storage when needed. This can be best utilized for seasonal furniture and recreational gear when garage space is limited.

Finally, if you plan to sell your home in the future, the sunroom’s extra square footage is a feature you can brag about to receive a return on investment. Especially when the next family decides they have fallen in love with it as much as you did.

Diversified Enclosures and Screen builds our sunrooms with either vinyl PGT Eze-Breeze vertical or horizontal side sliders or 2 inch insulated glass horizontal side sliders. This ensures that our projects are strong, attractive, well ventilated, cost-effective, and easy to clean and maintain. If you’re looking into contracting work for your upcoming sunroom project in Tennessee, feel free to contact us with any questions for your ideal design.
