Sunrooms, Glass Walls, and Patio Enclosures For Your Home.

Once your order is placed, we typically install around 12–14 weeks later. To keep quality high and costs sensible, we source our systems from Finland, so ocean freight adds transit time. The onsite installation itself is efficient—most projects take just 1–2 days depending on size and complexity—minimizing disruption to your routine while ensuring exceptional quality.

Minimal preparation is needed on your part. Simply remove any personal items, furniture, and decorations from the work area to protect them during installation. Our professional team handles everything else—including laying protective coverings for your existing surfaces, managing all construction debris, and performing a thorough clean-up after installation is complete. We treat your home with the same care we'd treat our own.

Yes—we’re flexible when it comes to installing your glass walls. We’ll coordinate dates and arrival windows around your constraints (work-from-home schedules, school pickups, or a specific event). Share any timing needs early and we’ll build a plan that works for you—and then stick to it.

We specialize in a comprehensive range of premium outdoor living solutions:

• Fully enclosed sunrooms with climate control options
• Frameless folding glass systems that open your space completely
• Sliding glass panel configurations for seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Modern balcony glass railing systems for unobstructed views
• Glass roof systems with integrated rain management

Each system can be customized and combined to create the perfect solution for your specific space, lifestyle goals, and local climate requirements. Our design consultants help you select the ideal configuration for maximum enjoyment and value.

Yes, our versatile systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing structures including decks, patios, balconies, pergolas, and home additions. During our initial consultation, we assess the structural integrity of your existing space and determine the best attachment methods. If reinforcement is needed, we can either collaborate with your preferred contractor or provide engineered solutions through our network of trusted professionals. This flexibility allows us to transform virtually any outdoor area into a protected, year-round living space.

Our premium enclosure systems feature high-performance aluminum frames paired with tempered or laminated safety glass that meets or exceeds Canadian building codes. All hardware components, including tracks, hinges, and locking mechanisms, are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials specifically chosen to withstand coastal BC weather conditions. The majority of our systems are precision-engineered in Finland, where extreme weather has driven innovation in combining superior performance with minimalist Scandinavian design aesthetics.

Yes, virtually any outdoor space with adequate footprint and proper foundation can be transformed with our enclosure systems. We've successfully completed diverse projects including sidewalk-facing patios in urban settings, rooftop deck transformations with wind considerations, garden studio spaces for artists and remote workers, poolside retreats that extend the swimming season, and side yard conversions that add valuable living space. Each project is custom-designed to maximize the potential of your unique space while respecting property lines and local regulations.

Our engineered glass systems are designed for comfort across seasons in Canadian climates. The glass includes UV protection to reduce heat gain and protect furnishings from fading. Strategic ventilation options, including operable panels and roof vents, allow for natural airflow during warmer months. For additional climate control, we can integrate upgrades such as insulated glass configurations, retractable blinds, ceiling fans, or radiant heating. Many clients find their enclosed spaces comfortable most of the year with minimal additional heating or cooling.

Our roofs are engineered to shed rain and snow effectively, and every installation includes thoughtful water management (proper slope, gutters, and drainage). The wall systems are intentionally designed to be about 98% sealed so the space can “breathe,” reducing the risk of condensation and mold. In certain extreme conditions—like wind‑driven rain or blowing snow—small amounts of moisture may enter. In practice, these are weather‑protected outdoor rooms: typically three‑season spaces that perform well the vast majority of the year.

Environmental factors are carefully considered in every design. We calculate specific load ratings based on your location, accounting for wind exposure, snow accumulation, and seismic requirements. Our European‑engineered systems are tested for demanding conditions and can include additional structural reinforcement and weather‑sealing where appropriate. In severe storms with wind‑driven rain or snow, you may see minor infiltration by design (see the 98%‑sealed note above), but drains and thresholds are engineered to manage it safely.

Yes, we have extensive experience working with strata councils throughout the Lower Mainland. We provide comprehensive documentation packages including detailed product specifications, engineering drawings, load calculations, and references from similar strata projects. Our team understands exactly what strata councils need to see for approval and can attend council meetings if required. We've successfully navigated hundreds of strata approvals and can guide you through the process, increasing the likelihood of a smooth approval.

Permit requirements vary depending on your project scope and municipality. Generally, if the structure is fully enclosed, alters your home's footprint, or involves electrical work, a permit will be required. Our experienced team handles the entire permit process for you—from preparing detailed drawings to submitting applications and coordinating inspections. We're familiar with building codes and permit processes across all Lower Mainland municipalities including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, and the North Shore. This expertise ensures your project proceeds smoothly and legally.

We have successfully completed numerous projects on heritage homes and character properties throughout Vancouver's historic neighborhoods. Our design team works closely with heritage consultants and city planning departments to ensure compliance with preservation guidelines. We specialize in creating solutions that respect the architectural integrity of your property while providing modern functionality. This might include custom color matching, modified profiles to complement existing details, or reversible installation methods that protect the heritage structure. Each heritage project receives individualized attention to balance preservation with enhancement.

Absolutely—these spaces make fantastic home offices, gyms, and dining areas. Most installations are best described as three‑season: comfortable for roughly 90% of the year in the Lower Mainland. On a handful of extreme weather days, performance may not match your interior rooms. If you’d like near year‑round use, we can spec upgrades such as insulated glass, additional weather‑sealing, radiant heat, and blinds to boost comfort.

Yes. Frameless folding panels can stack completely to one side, opening your entire space to the outdoors. Sliding configurations allow partial or full opening based on the weather. Note: we don’t offer retractable roofs at this time. Depending on the system, optional roof vents and blinds can improve ventilation and sun control.

Investment levels vary based on size, configuration, and features. Here's a general guide to help with planning:

• Operable glass wall systems: starting from $5,000–$10,000+
• Complete patio transformations: typically $15,000–$25,000+
• Custom three-season room additions: from $25,000+

Each project receives a detailed, transparent proposal after our consultation where we assess your space, discuss your goals, and recommend the best solutions. Our quotes include all materials, professional installation, permits, and warranty coverage. We focus on delivering exceptional value through quality materials and expert installation that will enhance your home for decades.

Yes, quality outdoor living improvements consistently rank among the best home investments in BC's competitive real estate market. You gain immediate benefits including additional usable square footage without the cost of a full addition, enhanced curb appeal and architectural interest, and a standout feature that differentiates your property. Year-round functionality is particularly valued in our climate where outdoor living is prized but weather-limited. Real estate professionals regularly note that homes with premium enclosed outdoor spaces sell faster and command higher prices, especially when these spaces showcase quality materials and professional installation.

Absolutely. We understand that creating your ideal outdoor space is a significant investment, which is why we offer flexible phased installation options. You might start with a roof system to provide weather protection, then add wall systems in a future phase. Or begin with a partial enclosure and expand later. Our modular systems are designed to accommodate future additions seamlessly. During your consultation, we can design a master plan that allows you to achieve your vision over time while ensuring each phase provides immediate value and enjoyment.

We're currently establishing partnerships with financing providers to make your outdoor transformation more accessible. In the meantime, we offer flexible payment arrangements including staged payments aligned with project milestones. Many clients also explore home equity lines of credit or renovation financing through their banks, as outdoor living improvements typically qualify. During your consultation, we're happy to discuss payment options and can provide documentation to support financing applications. Our goal is to work with you to make your vision achievable.

Every Legacy Enclosures project comes with comprehensive protection including a 5-year warranty on all products and professional installation, plus lifetime support on structural components. This industry-leading coverage reflects our confidence in both our materials and craftsmanship. The warranty covers defects in materials, installation issues, and operational components. Beyond the warranty period, we remain your partner—if you ever need adjustments, have questions about maintenance, or want to explore upgrades or additions, our team is just a phone call away. We're committed to ensuring your investment continues delivering value for decades.

Yes, our commitment to your satisfaction extends well beyond installation day. Whether you need a panel realigned after settling, weather seal replacement after years of use, adjustment of moving parts for optimal operation, or advice on adding features like heating or blinds, we're here to help. Our service team knows your system inside and out, ensuring any maintenance or repairs are handled efficiently. We maintain parts inventory for all our systems and can typically address service needs quickly. This ongoing support ensures your outdoor room continues performing beautifully year after year.

Our premium systems are designed for minimal maintenance, letting you enjoy your space rather than constantly maintaining it. Basic care includes occasional glass cleaning (similar to your home's windows), lubricating tracks and moving parts 2–3 times per year with provided silicone spray, checking and clearing drainage channels seasonally, and gently cleaning frames with mild soap and water as needed. Unlike wood structures that require regular staining or painting, our aluminum frames maintain their appearance without refinishing. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per season on maintenance. We provide a detailed care guide and are always available to answer questions about keeping your system in prime condition.
