At Nova Sunrooms, we know how short Nova Scotia summers can feel – and how fast a perfect evening on the deck can be cut short by insects, wind, or a sudden shower. Our screen and window systems give you full control over your outdoor space, so you can start earlier in spring and stay out later in fall. Whether you want a motorized screen that vanishes at the push of a button, a permanent screen room you can truly live in, or any of our window options that transform your covered deck into a three- or four-season space – we design and install it all, from first sketch to final screw.
The most versatile option — screens that are there when you need them and completely invisible when you don’t. Deploy at the touch of a button, roll up into a slim overhead cassette when the weather is perfect. Seamlessly integrated into pergolas, patio covers, and custom openings for a clean, built-in appearance.
A permanent aluminum-framed screen enclosure built on your existing deck, porch, or patio. Classic, reliable, and cost-effective – fixed screen rooms provide consistent airflow and insect protection throughout the warmer seasons, with no mechanical components to maintain. Perfect for homeowners who want a simple, dependable outdoor room.
A sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional screens – horizontally folding mesh panels that glide smoothly along a track and stack to the side when open, no motors required. A walk-through-friendly system with a low profile that suits modern outdoor designs perfectly.

Our window options are one of the most versatile upgrades you can add to an existing covered deck or sunroom, giving you airflow, weather protection, and seasonal flexibility all in one system. Available through Nova Sunrooms from trusted manufacturers known for quality aluminum products built for our climate.
We design, supply, and install your system – and we're reachable if anything ever needs attention. No national call centres, no out-of-province crews. Just our local team that shows up and stands behind its work.
We've chosen our screen and window systems specifically because they perform in wind, rain, and coastal conditions. Every product we install is selected for Atlantic Canada weather.
The same team that measures your space designs your system and installs it. No handoffs, no surprises for precise result you'll enjoy every single time you step outside.
A motorized retractable screen deploys and fully retracts on demand — invisible when not in use, ideal when you want the option of a completely open space. A fixed screen room is a permanent aluminum-framed enclosure that provides consistent bug and weather protection, more like a furnished outdoor room you live in throughout the season.
Our motorized systems use tension tracking that keeps screens secure in breezy conditions. For high-wind exposures, we recommend MagnaTrack — whose patented magnetic tensioning flexes under wind load and automatically re-seals when the wind eases, eliminating the jamming that affects standard zipper systems.
Yes — this is one of our most popular upgrades. Retractable motorized screens and pleated screen walls can be fitted to most existing aluminum pergolas and patio covers without structural modification.
4-Track stacking windows are sliding vinyl glaze panels that glide independently on four tracks, allowing up to 75% of the wall area to open. They’re ideal for converting an open covered deck or fixed screen room into a comfortable three-season sunroom that you can use from early spring through late fall – and even on sunny winter days.
Yes. Our fixed screen room structures are designed to be upgraded. 4-Track stacking windows or glass panels can be added at any time to convert your screen room into a full three-season sunroom. It’s one of the most practical ways to start small and grow your outdoor living space over time.
We offer insect mesh for maximum airflow and bug protection, solar shading fabric for UV and glare control, and privacy or blackout fabrics for enclosed spaces. Available in a wide range of colours and tints to suit your home’s aesthetic.
Most motorized screen installations are completed in a single day. Pleated screen wall systems and fixed screen rooms typically take a few days depending on size and scope.
All the magic of outside. Without the bugs, wind or rain.
