benefits of a sunroom
are almost unlimited. No matter what your need, our sunroom
specialists can be sure to help. We offer several different
kinds of sunrooms to suit just about any home.
The term sunroom typically refers to a room constructed on the
side of the house, designed to collect sunlight for light and
warmth. Other familiar terms for sunrooms are conservatories,
green rooms, patio rooms and
solariums. A
sunroom can be an extension of your kitchen, dining room, or
family room. Sunrooms are also popularly used to enclose an
existing patio
or
deck.
The DIY sunroom specialists at PatioKits.com can assist
you in determining how your new sunroom will fit your home and
how best to incorporate it into a section of your home where the
sunlight hits for the longest part of the day. You should
consider choosing a sunroom with southern exposure in order to
benefit from the most sunlight.
If you are in the market for a new sunroom, then here is a quick
summary of the different styles that are available to you:
-
Four-Season Sunroom.
These sunrooms are designed for year-round use. The walls
are insulated and the heating/cooling system is extended
from the house to ensure comfort ability. A four-season
sunroom is the only kind of sunroom specially designed for
usage throughout all four seasons. These sunrooms ensure
the greatest energy efficiency.
-
Three-Season Sunroom.
These rooms are designed to be used spring, summer, and
autumn. Generally, it is too cold in the winters to use one
of these rooms, unless you are in a seasonably warm
location. Three season sunrooms are not constructed for
heating or cooling purposes, but blind and shades can be
added for this effect. The main benefit for this type of
sunroom is cost; it is less expensive to build this sunroom
than extend your heating system from your home.
-
Full/Partial Glass Rooms.
These rooms have walls made of glass. For those who prefer
a
solarium sunroom,
a glass roof can be installed instead of a traditional
roof. We also offer the option of
curved eave sunrooms.
If you would like to keep your customary roof, installing a
skylight might be beneficial to keep the room as bright and
warm as possible.
-
Partial Glass/Knee Wall Sunrooms.
These rooms have solid wall sections at the base that are
about as high as the windowsill. Knee-wall sunrooms let you
view the outdoors as well have some privacy indoors. They
types of sunrooms are useful if you plan on running
electrical lines for lighting and ceiling fans.
Be sure to speak to a PatioKits.com sunroom specialist
about sunroom window options as well. Our DIY Sunroom windows
can be made of acrylic or glass; they can be offered single or
double glazed. Some windows can be replaced with screens, which
is an added benefit of maximizing air flow.
