Glass Rooms & Screen Rooms

Enjoy the Outdoors – Without the Weather or Insects A glass room or screen room allows you to enjoy your outdoor space year-round while staying protected from wind, rain, insects, and harsh sun. At By Design Outdoor Projects, we design and build custom glass and screen enclosures that seamlessly integrate with your existing patio, verandah, or alfresco area.

Perfect for NSW conditions, these enclosed outdoor spaces provide comfort, flexibility, and added value to your home—without sacrificing natural light or views.

What Is a Glass Room?

A glass room is a fully or partially enclosed outdoor area using high-quality glass panels. It offers unobstructed views and excellent weather protection while maintaining a strong indoor-outdoor connection.

  • • Protection from wind, rain, and cold
  • • Clear views of gardens or pool areas
  • • Bright, light-filled space all year round
  • • Premium architectural finish

Glass rooms can be added to an existing patio or designed as part of a new outdoor structure.

What Is a Screen Room?

A screen room is an enclosed patio area fitted with mesh or screening systems instead of glass. It allows fresh air to flow freely while keeping insects and debris out — making it ideal for warmer months.

  • • Natural ventilation and airflow
  • • Effective insect protection
  • • Shade without full enclosure
  • • Cost-effective outdoor upgrade

Commonly used for BBQ areas, poolside patios, and family outdoor living spaces.
