Absolute Aluminum Blog

By: Calvin Gray, Director of Sales & Marketing 

There haven’t been many new ideas to dress up the old pool cage until now! For 24 years, Absolute Aluminum of Venice, Florida has been one of the innovators of pool cage design. We have recently expanded our business to include enhancement products for pool cages and screen enclosures.

Pool cage owners have tried everything including hanging Christmas lights from their track beam in an effort to get some ambient lighting for night time entertaining. Let me tell you about some more innovative products that can really light up you night time entertaining! 

NEBULA LIGHTING  

Nebula Lighting is the perfect lighting system for pool cage screen enclosures. This system is designed for new or existing pool and patio enclosures. The LED lighting is perfect around pool water, weatherproof from rain and environmental elements (salt, chemicals, etc.). The Nebula light rails are powered by a 12v DC controller and operate on less power than a 60 watt light bulb.

With full dimmer capability, you can control the amount of light you desire for the event or mood you’re trying to create. Dim it way down for a romantic evening under the stars. You’ll get 10,000 hours of enjoyment without ever having to change any of the bulbs with the most advanced LED bulb technology. The bulb rail snaps into your existing pool cage track beam groves above your pool. Nebula Lighting is perfectly safe, no bulbs to replace and virtually no cost to operate.

Nebula Lighting can be installed in less than a day and requires no electrician because it’s low voltage. It’s not limited to just pool cages or screen enclosures; it has been installed in the soffits of homes, decks, docks, seawalls, spas, gazebos, sunrooms and any other area where low voltage lighting could be beneficial. 

Mild weather abounds so far in our nation, and it seems our northern friends are getting lucky this year and have been able to keep their snow shovels in the garage for most of the past winter.

With the upswing in the economy, and existing home sales on the rise, everyone seems to be all smiles as we get ready to head into outdoor Summer Fun.

While we're having a 'feel good moment'.. let me ask you a question. Do you plan on staying in your home at least until you can sell it above the break-even point? 

If your answer was "yes", then it truly is time to get serious about tackling some easy outdoor home improvements. 

Smaller projects can make a big impact on the look and feel of your home. Take time to walk around your favorite spaces. The areas of your home where you know that you will be spending time with family and friends in the upcoming summer months. Check out your pool cage and screens on your lanai, sets your eyes on the ground and look for cracks in your concrete or pavers, look at your outdoor seating area and furniture for mold and fading.

If any of these things are in need of sprucing up, in order to help you get the most enjoyment from your home until the time comes where you may either change locations or downsize, now is the time to get a quote and see if your budget allows us to assist you in your home improvement needs.
