Vinyl Glazed Enclosures in Savannah, GA by Eicher’s Pro Vinyl

When homeowners in Savannah, GA call us about vinyl glazed enclosures, the first thing they usually say is that they want to use their porch again without fighting the heat, the rain, or the 185-plus mosquito days this city sees every year. Eicher's Pro Vinyl has been installing vinyl glazed enclosures across Savannah and Chatham County since 1998, with every job handled by our own trained employees, never subcontractors, and backed by a lifetime warranty on frames. Whether your home sits near Forsyth Park, out on Wilmington Island, or anywhere in between, we bring the same crew and the same standards to every installation.
Get Your Porch Back Without Giving Up the Savannah Breeze
Savannah averages 45.9 inches of rain per year, and summer afternoons here have a way of turning a perfectly good porch into an unusable space in about ten minutes flat. Vinyl glazed enclosures in Savannah, GA give you a way to close out a downpour, drop the panels when the weather clears, and be back outside before the humidity even settles. That flexibility is the whole point.
Our sliding panel systems use tough 10-mil vinyl glazing that is as transparent as glass but a fraction of the weight and cost. If a panel gets bumped or distorted, it returns to its original shape within minutes on its own. You are not dealing with cracked glass or a costly replacement call.
- Vertical 4-Track Sliders let you open any portion of the wall, or close it completely, depending on the weather and the time of day.
- Each unit is custom-made to fit your specific opening, so there are no gaps, no rattles, and no light leaks around the edges.
- Panels remove easily for seasonal storage or cleaning, which matters when Savannah’s tree canopy drops pollen and debris all spring long.
The result is an outdoor room you can actually count on, whether you are watching a thunderstorm roll in from the river or just keeping the sand gnats at bay on a still evening.
A Smarter Way to Handle Savannah's Termite Risk and Coastal Humidity
Chatham County carries a very heavy termite risk rating, and the combination of heat, moisture, and that dense tree canopy around so many Savannah neighborhoods creates conditions that wood-framed enclosures simply do not hold up to over time. Vinyl framing does not rot, does not absorb moisture, and gives termites nothing to work with.
With a median home vintage of around 1984, a lot of Savannah houses have older screened porches or open decks that were built before anyone was thinking about glazed panel systems. Converting that existing structure into a vinyl glazed enclosure is usually far less involved than homeowners expect, and it adds usable square footage without a full addition.
Savannah also sits within moderate hurricane exposure territory. Our panels are designed to be removed when sustained winds exceed 65 mph, which is a straightforward precaution. On an ordinary breezy day near the waterfront communities of Isle of Hope or Whitemarsh Island, the panels hold steady and keep the weather where it belongs: outside.
- Vinyl frames resist the moisture cycling that damages wood in coastal Georgia climates.
- No painting, no staining, and no annual sealing required.
- The 10-mil glazing film carries a 10-year warranty; frames carry a lifetime warranty.

More Living Space in a City Where Outdoor Life Is the Point
Savannah scores an 89 on the Walk Score index, meaning most errands and daily routines happen close to home. Neighborhoods near the Historic District, Forsyth Park, and the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist were built for people who spend time outdoors. A glazed enclosure extends that outdoor living season by weeks on both ends of the year, letting you sit outside in February without a jacket and stay out past dusk in September without losing a pint of blood to mosquitoes.
Homeowners in nearby communities like Thunderbolt, Garden City, and Port Wentworth are finding the same thing: an enclosed porch or deck becomes the most-used room in the house once it is protected from the elements. With Savannah’s cooling degree days reaching 2,690 annually, having a shaded, ventilated glazed space also reduces the heat load on the rooms directly behind it.
- Panels slide open fully when the weather cooperates, keeping that open-air feel.
- Glazed enclosures work on existing screen rooms, open decks, and new construction.
- Custom sizing means the system fits historic porch dimensions as cleanly as it fits modern builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a vinyl glazed enclosure on my Savannah, GA porch?
Most vinyl glazed enclosure installations in Savannah take one to two days depending on the size of the space and whether any framing work is needed. Because each panel unit is custom-built to your exact opening dimensions before our crew arrives, the on-site time is usually shorter than homeowners expect. We schedule around your availability and clean up completely before we leave.
Do I need to remove the vinyl glazed panels before a hurricane hits Savannah?
Yes. Our panels are designed to be removed when sustained winds exceed 65 mph. Savannah sits in a moderate hurricane exposure zone, so during a named storm or any serious wind event, the panels should come down and be stored indoors. Removal takes only a few minutes per panel. On ordinary windy days, including the coastal gusts common near Wilmington Island and Isle of Hope, the panels hold firmly in their tracks.
Will vinyl glazed enclosure panels hold up against Savannah's heavy rain and humidity?
They are built for exactly that kind of climate. Savannah averages 45.9 inches of rain annually, and the combination of heat and humidity is hard on any outdoor material. The 10-mil vinyl glazing film is waterproof and UV-resistant, and the vinyl frames do not rot, warp, or absorb moisture the way wood does. The 10-year warranty on the vinyl and moving parts and the lifetime warranty on frames reflect that durability.

Can you enclose an older screened porch in Savannah's Historic District with vinyl glazed panels?
