Snap-N-Loc & Elite Way Systems
Sunrooms & Screen Enclosures
Transform your outdoor space into a comfortable, year-round living area with Snap-N-Loc and Elite Way systems — engineered for South Louisiana's climate.
Outdoor Living, Reimagined
Short's Siding & Patio Supply installs premium insulated and non-insulated patio covers, screen enclosures, sunrooms, and carports using the Snap-N-Loc and Elite Way building systems.
Every structure is engineered to handle South Louisiana's heat, humidity, and wind loads — giving you a beautiful, durable outdoor living space that lasts for decades.
Structure Types We Install
From simple patio covers to full four-season sunrooms — we build it all.
Insulated Patio Covers
Our insulated roof panel systems keep your patio cool in summer and comfortable year-round. The foam-core panels dramatically reduce heat transfer, making your covered patio usable even on the hottest Louisiana days.
- Foam-core insulated panels reduce heat gain by up to 70%
- Available in multiple panel widths and lengths
- Concealed fastener system for a clean, finished look
- Can be combined with screen walls for full enclosure
Non-Insulated Patio Covers
A cost-effective solution for shade and rain protection, our non-insulated patio covers provide solid overhead coverage without the added cost of insulation — ideal for covered walkways, carports, and open-air patios.
- Solid panel construction for full rain and UV protection
- Lighter weight system — faster installation
- Great for walkways, carports, and open-air patios
- Same color options as insulated system
Screen Enclosures
Keep insects out and let the breeze in with a custom screen enclosure. Built with Structall aluminum framing and heavy-duty screen material, our enclosures are designed to withstand Louisiana weather while giving you an open, airy feel.
- Heavy-duty aluminum Structall framing system
- Multiple screen mesh options including solar and pet-resistant
- Screen doors with self-closing hinges
- Can be added to existing patio covers
Sunrooms (EZ-Breeze / Glass)
Create a true four-season room with our EZ-Breeze vinyl panel or glass sunroom systems. Enjoy natural light and outdoor views while staying protected from insects, wind, and rain — perfect for dining, relaxing, or entertaining.
- EZ-Breeze vinyl panel system — opens for fresh air
- Glass panel option for a true all-season room
- Pairs with insulated roof for maximum comfort
- Can be climate-controlled with mini-split AC
Combo Structures
Get the best of both worlds with a combo structure — an insulated roof panel system combined with screen or EZ-Breeze walls. These hybrid enclosures are our most popular option for South Louisiana homeowners who want comfort and versatility.
- Insulated roof + screen or EZ-Breeze wall combination
- Most popular configuration for South Louisiana climate
- Modular design — add walls or expand later
- Fully customizable size and layout
Carports
Protect your vehicles, boats, and equipment with a custom-built aluminum carport. Our carports use the same durable Snap-N-Loc panel system as our patio covers, giving you a clean, professional look that complements your home.
- Single, double, and RV-width configurations available
- Insulated or non-insulated roof panel options
- Open sides or with partial/full wall enclosure
- Engineered for Louisiana wind load requirements
Insulated vs. Non-Insulated: Which Is Right for You?
Both systems use the same durable aluminum Structall framing. The difference is in the roof panel.
