Curtain Walls & Porch Enclosures in Winnipeg
Make Your Porch or Patio More Comfortable
Curtain walls and porch enclosures are a practical way to make patios, decks, and outdoor sitting areas more comfortable. By adding glass or screened wall systems, homeowners can enjoy the backyard while staying protected from wind, insects, and changing weather.
These systems are designed to keep outdoor spaces bright and open while adding just enough shelter to make them far more usable throughout the season. Many homeowners choose curtain wall systems when they want to improve an existing porch or patio without building a full sunroom.
At SunCo, curtain wall systems are installed with durability and clean integration in mind so the finished space feels like a natural part of the home rather than an add-on.
Standard Curtain Walls
Standard curtain walls use aluminum framing to support glass or screen panels along the edge of a porch, patio, or outdoor structure. The wall system is attached to the building’s main frame and is designed to support its weight while standing up to wind and other environmental pressures.
Because the framing is visible, the structure has a clean, defined look that works well with many types of homes. Standard curtain walls are often used when a roof or overhead structure already exists and the goal is simply to enclose the space and make it more comfortable to use.
Structural Curtain Wall Systems
Structural curtain walls provide a stronger enclosure system when additional support is needed. Unlike standard systems, these walls are designed to carry their own weight as well as the load from the structure above them.
The aluminum framing remains visible, giving the wall system a solid and defined appearance while supporting larger glass sections. Because of their strength, structural curtain walls are often used for projects where the enclosure becomes a more permanent part of the building.
Porch Enclosures
Enclosing a porch is often the simplest way to make the space more usable. By adding glass or screened wall systems, an open porch can be protected from wind, insects, and light rain while still keeping the feeling of being outdoors.
In many cases the existing porch already has the roof and structure needed, so the enclosure is built by installing curtain wall systems between the posts or along the perimeter.
For homeowners who enjoy sitting outside but want some protection from weather and bugs, a porch enclosure can turn an underused porch into one of the most comfortable areas of the home.

With the help of our SunCo team, we were able to figure out a perfect landing that transitions from the sunroom into the house. They were also very helpful in explaining the prep work that is involved before the actual addition starts (moving any hydro and electrical lines, getting permits, digging the piles, etc.) Once everything was in place, SunCo sent their team to erect the building. It was all up within a few days. The crew was very friendly and dedicated to their trade. The only issue that we have, which is completely out of SunCo’s realm, is that the winter elements along with the Windsor Park gumbo causes some windows to shift but this issue disappears once Spring arrives.
This addition to our home was the best renovation project that we’ve ever had done. We use it every day, from March to October. As soon as the Sun is capable of warming up this space, we’re in there. Sometimes we help the Sun out by throwing a small heater in there and its top notch! With our growing family, the sunroom is a perfect additional area for gatherings because there’s nothing better than enjoying a nature view while visiting with family and fiends. Weather permitting, our 7 granddaughters love to eat in the sunroom; independently from the adults. My husband has a side job which necessitates clients to drop off or pick up documents, and let me say, it is unbelievable as to how many people have commented on our sunroom. We have recommended SunCo over and over again. If anyone is contemplating on getting a sunroom, we would not hesitate to proceed with Backyard Paradise by SunCo.
Update: After posting this review, Roger, a company sales rep dropped in and gave us some very good recommendations on how to address the shifting issue. Great company! Thx.
We use it as our living room and our view of the nature around us is our T.V.
It is our sanctuary where we can unwind at the end of the day and restore peace to our lives.
When our family is over and our young grandchildren come, we fill it with toys and joy is had by all!
We would highly recommend Backyard Paradise to everyone.
We absolutely love our sunroom!!
We were very happy with the materials and workmanship, so we called them back in 2020 to build our replacement stairs and railing.
We use the sunroom 8 months out of the year. We eat, entertain, and relax in the sunroom. Our favourite is watching the humming birds that come to the plants right up to the door.
The sunroom is my favorite part of the house says our pet dove.
We love being outside without bugs bothering us.
We highly recommend the backyard Paradise by SunCo to build yours.
Happy anniversary.
The professionalism and service we received was top notch.
With this addition to our house, it has added such a nice space to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and have company over at night to enjoy a drink and snacks while being protected by the mosquitoes but still feeling like we are outside.
This was a great experience from beginning to end and would highly recommend SunCo for your sunroom needs.
