Converting a Screened Porch
Keep the airflow and openness you already love while adding real weather and pollen protection on the days you need it.
Love Your Porch More Days of the Year
Sunleaf™ is a Valverax porch enclosure and sunroom system built around flexible clear stacking panels. It keeps the open-air feeling of a porch you already love while adding real protection from rain, pollen, wind-blown debris, and UV exposure, so you get more usable days out of the space you already have.

What Sunleaf Actually Is
Sunleaf is built around flexible clear stacking panels, sometimes called stacking porch windows or flexible-glazed porch windows. Each panel slides on its own track and stacks behind the others, so you can open the whole wall up for a breeze or close it down when pollen, wind, or rain roll in. The panels themselves are made from a heavy, optically clear vinyl-film glazing, not glass, engineered to flex, resist impact, and hold up to daily use.
Sunleaf isn't just a window product. It's the overall Valverax remodeling solution built around this flexible-glazing wall system, whether that means converting a porch you already have or framing a brand-new Sunleaf sunroom from the ground up.
Where Sunleaf Fits
Enclosing a Covered Porch
Turn a covered porch that only gets used part of the year into a space you reach for on rainy days, buggy evenings, and high-pollen mornings.
Enclosing a Covered Deck
If your deck has a roof over it, Sunleaf can enclose that footprint into flexible, protected outdoor living space.
A True Three-Season Porch
Get meaningfully more usable months out of a porch that currently sits empty for half the year.
A New Sunleaf Sunroom
Building new? A Sunleaf sunroom can be part of a custom stick-built room, a prefab-supported structure, or another suitable new build.
Flexible Ventilation, On Your Terms
Sunleaf stacking systems can provide up to 75% ventilation with full-height screening behind the panels, so you decide how open or protected the space feels on any given day. Stack the panels back for a warm afternoon breeze. Drop them down when a spring pollen count or an afternoon storm rolls through. Either way, you're not choosing between a screened porch and a closed-in room, you're getting a space that adjusts with the weather.
Built for Real Life

- Keeps light rain and wind out without losing the outdoor feel
- Pet doors and matching solid or screened door options available
- Custom-fit to your existing porch openings or a new structure
- Above-average quality without luxury-for-luxury's-sake pricing
Sunleaf Is a Three-Season System
Sunleaf is designed to make your porch usable more days of the year, not to replace conditioned living space. The wall system does not have the insulation or thermal break needed to efficiently hold a heated or cooled temperature the way the rest of your home does. A space heater or mini-split can make a Sunleaf room comfortable while you're in it, but it isn't meant to run continuously the way HVAC does in a conditioned room. If you want a space designed to be heated and cooled continuously, all-season options like Seravue™ All-Season are worth a look instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sunleaf?
Sunleaf is a Valverax porch enclosure and sunroom system built around flexible clear stacking panels, often called vinyl-film glazing. It gives you much of the open-air feel of a screened porch while adding real protection from rain, pollen, wind-blown debris, and UV exposure.
Is Sunleaf a three-season or four-season system?
Sunleaf is a three-season system. It is not designed as a continuously conditioned thermal envelope. A space heater or mini-split can make the room comfortable while you're using it, but it isn't meant to run continuously the way HVAC does in a conditioned room.
Can Sunleaf be added to my existing screened porch?
Yes. Converting an existing screened or covered porch is one of the most common Sunleaf projects. Sunleaf can also enclose a covered deck or be built into a new sunroom addition.
How much ventilation does Sunleaf provide?
It depends on the configuration. Sunleaf stacking panel systems can provide up to 75% ventilation with full-height screening behind the panels.
Is Sunleaf a cheaper version of Seravue?
No. Sunleaf and Seravue are different systems built for different goals. Sunleaf is a flexible, stacking panel system focused on ventilation and an open-air feel. Seravue is a glass system focused on unobstructed views and a more finished look, with Three-Season and All-Season options.
