Many Homes in our Area include an attached aluminum screen room called a “Florida Room” that was added either after the house was built or during construction. Many new homes may also have this addition, but now the style of roof has been changed from a Pan style roof to a Styrofoam or Elite panel. The older Pan Style (above) roofs usually require a square decorative gutter which is installed in addition to a Molding or Valance that covers the edges of the roof that doesn’t require gutters. The Valance is actually used to close the end of the gutter, and regular downspouts are used to bring the water to the ground. Usually Pan style roofs do not have a fascia attached, the Pan gutter(below)
is attached from the top with the gutter simulating the look of a fascia while draining the water. Due to the lack of a fascia regular K-Style seamless gutter cant be attached properly to these older applications and the Pan style gutter is required. However, you can use the pan style gutter with the new elite roofs to achieve that classic look. Or, if you prefer seamless guttering can be added to elite panels to achieve a more up to date look. Excel Aluminum can install or add gutters to these rooms, but we don’t install complete Florida rooms. We can only replace or install to existing Florida Rooms.
