1 VISTA screen rooms now even better
than before!
Our screen patio door uses
twice the aluminum in the sash
then before. The screen sash is
actually inserted into the glass
sash. This makes for a very
strong slider and
has the benefit
of gliding on the
metal patio door
rollers instead of
the plastic rollers.

Our railing post bases have always been impressive. Some have likened
them to “boat anchors”! Our 2 1/4” bases are even stronger now,
utilizing a new casting process. Watch for new and improved castings
for our other posts & columns in the near future.
