Sunrooms

A sunroom is a glass-enclosed living space usually attached to the house and accessible from indoors. It’s designed to function as an additional leisure area that allows for an abundance of natural light and offers views of the landscape while providing protection from adverse weather conditions.

Although sunrooms are designed to be low maintenance, like any part of your home, they do require some care to keep them looking their best. This can include regular cleaning of the windows and frames, checking the seals around the windows and doors, inspecting and maintaining any heating or cooling units, and periodically checking the structure for any signs of damage or wear.

With careful design planning and proper temperature control features, a sunroom can be used throughout the year. Insulated glass, along with heating and cooling units, can create a comfortable environment in the sunroom, no matter the season.

An enclosed porch offers a protected, often climate-controlled space to enjoy outdoor views, shielded from insects and weather elements. In contrast, a deck or patio provides an open-air environment to experience the outdoors unfiltered, though its usability can be weather-dependent.

Yes, many three-season rooms can be upgraded to four-season rooms. This would typically involve adding insulation, installing energy-efficient windows, and incorporating a heating system. However, the feasibility and cost of such an upgrade would depend on the existing structure and design of the room.

While both types of rooms act as a bridge between your indoor living spaces and the outdoors, a year-round room is equipped with additional features, most notably insulation and temperature control systems, that allow it to be usable even in the colder winter months. Unlike a three-season room, which is typically enjoyed from spring to fall, a year-round room offers comfort and usability across all seasons.
