Customer Testimonial
One of our customers, Joe Malecki, chose to self-install our 4-track windows and doors to create a 3-season sunroom. He says he was pretty nervous about self-installing, thinking it’d be a significant project and wasn’t sure how great our memory vinyl would hold up. Well, take a look at what he ended up saying about it after 70-MPH winds and a tornado touched down nearby.
You could see the vinyl moving because it’s a flexible product, but you know, everything just held up just fantastic. I would definitely recommend yours (system). If somebody is asking me about these types of 4-track systems based on my experience, your product as far as I’m concerned is highly recommended.

Did you know there is an alternative option to a 4-season sunroom? It’s called a 3 season room, or for our companies specific name, Porch Life. It’s exactly what it sounds like, it’s converting your porch, deck, or any outdoor space with windows and doors that will transform it into a personal sunroom oasis.
There are many instances where potential customers give up on a sunroom due to the price a 4-season sunroom can be, but they are missing out on the chance of a 3-season sunroom instead. It’s a cost-effective alternative, in some instances it can even be a 4-season sunroom, and its quality is just as good. Especially if you choose Porch Life to do the job; more on that later.
First, let’s define the difference between a 4-season and a 3 season room.
4-Season Sunroom: A type of sunroom that gives additional space, it is enclosed with glass windows, a roof, and frames. It is supposed to be functional for all 4-seasons, but depending on the build that may not be the case. Depending on the materials used these rooms may not be as thermally efficient as advertised.
3-Season Sunroom: A type of sunroom addition that uses screened windows and doors to cover a porch, patio, or deck that can be in 3-seasons (or 4 depending on where you live) because the rooms are not engineered to be heated or cooled long-term.
Cost-Effective Alternative
As we mentioned, many people tend to turn away from their dream of a sunroom after learning how costly a 4-season sunroom can be. However, if you take some time to research and learn what a 3-season sunroom like Porch Life can do for you, it may actually be in your budget!
There are other factors to consider in price. Your most basic 3-season sunroom will of course be lower. If you start adding on upgrades like a Premium Screen or French Doors. But, luckily you get the choice with Porch Life because we are fully-custom.
We keep saying 3 season room. So, what seasons are those exactly? It’s recommended to be used in the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Winters can be pretty harsh in some states and these specific sunrooms are not designed to heat the space, so it can get pretty chilly. But, let’s say you’re in the south, your Winter is not full of freezing temperatures or snow, so you actually can use this all 4-seasons! (Just be prepared for any hot summer days.)
Where Should I Buy From?
Perhaps we are being biased here but we recommend ordering from us here at Porch Life, let us explain why. We pride ourselves on being a fully custom sunroom option. We offer a variety of screen, vinyl, doors, and color options so it can truly be your creation, tailored to your taste.
Our 4-track windows and doors are also custom-built to fit your desired area. Let’s not forget how top-notch Porch Life quality is. Take a look at this video of our flex vinyl glazing. This patented technology allows you to never have to worry about golf balls, baseballs, or even hail from damaging your glazing.
Our quality is just flat-out superior. And it’s not just us making that up, hear what some of our customers have to say about us.

Great Experience! They helped me order the trapezoid fixed panel windows for my A-frame extended porch and Vinyl window French doors. We used a contractor friend to install them but it was a pretty stress-free project. The vinyl is super durable and seems to keep the heat in really well too during cooler months. Thanks Andrea!

We ordered the 4 track windows for our back porch to enclose it. We needed help measuring and Andrea was super helpful with that and answered all of questions so we felt really good about tackling a DIY project with these windows. Everything came as described and we simply followed her videos to get them installed. I definitely give Porch Life a thumbs up for making our outdoor living space project super easy. Thankyou!

Andrea @ Porch Conversions-
We have really enjoyed our “new porch windows”.
We can sit out there when sun warms it up.
The temperature outside might be mid-forties and with the sun it can be mid-fifties on the porch; and the space heater kicks in some extra comfort.
We hope for the best weather when our kids ( and kiddos) come in February from NYC and the Netherlands .
Our two man team got the windows installed in less than a half day; and they look GREAT!
We’ve told a bunch of friends how easy it was dealing with you and your company - the best - quick and the price was right!
Also, we were most pleased to get the replacement screens for two windows and our contractor got them installed in about 40 minutes.
Overall you get a very high mark for service, friendliness, sense of humor and being so easy to work with - many, many smiles!
Come see us in the mountains of southwest Virginia and see the handiwork.
All the best

We love our new windows. We were originally going to go with just a screened in porch. After seeing some examples and talking to Porch Life Direct it was an easy choice to go this route. We turned a porch from something we would use in the summer to something we use throughout most of the year. They are extremely easy to install, easy to maintain and even easier to use. We couldn't be happier with our decision!
