On a recent project in suburban Boston, GF Rhode Construction contracted with OpenAire, designer and manufacturer of retractable roof enclosures and operable skylights, to build a custom enclosure for the residence’s swimming pool. The company pre-manufactures and then site-assembles their custom enclosures. “The clients can have whatever shape, size, and configuration they work out with their architect,” says GF Rhode operations manager Mike Caponetti. “OpenAire can make structures to the architect’s and client’s plans.” OpenAire’s enclosures are constructed of thermally broken aluminum with many glazing and coating options. The motorized roof panels open up to 50 percent of the roof area when retracted. OpenAire’s structures can span more than 100 feet. “For people who want an indoor pool on their property but also enjoy the benefits of an outdoor pool, they get the best of both worlds,” Caponetti says.
