A solarium is an exquisite addition to any home, with a glass roof and walls that let natural light permeate the room. Whether you use your solarium as an indoor garden or additional living area, Patio Solutions in East Rochester, NY, will help you choose one with features that complement your home.

5 Features of Glass-Roof Solariums

1. Full-Glass Construction

A solarium can be built with a glass roof and walls to allow the maximum level of light. Being surrounded by glass also will give you a perfect view of the natural landscape around your home. Select 1-inch-thick double-paned, insulated glass for energy efficiency and UV protection. Top and bottom throw-bolts will lock your glass room securely, giving you peace of mind that your solarium and the rest of your home are safe.

2. Customized Height & Pitch

Even if your home has an extreme height and roof pitch, a solarium can enhance those architectural elements. It can be built with a single-slope or gable roof, offering eye-catching craftsmanship that will elevate your home’s curb appeal. These glass-roof structures are designed to accommodate the most extreme roof pitch and transition from roof to front panels easily.

3. Weather Resistance

Solarium frames are made to withstand the elements and are available in a variety of styles to add durability without sacrificing appearance. Patio Enclosures offers wood grain finishes that give the appearance of wood but have the ruggedness of aluminum, providing protection from any weather. Other frame styles include sandstone and bronze.

4. Protective Features

From interlocking sashes to a triple polypropylene coating with fin seals, these features keep drafts, bugs, and other pests from getting inside your solarium. The fin seals also protect your solarium from leaks.

5. Glare Protection

Glass panels can be fitted with aluminum-screen rolling panels that won’t interfere with your view but will reduce glare from bright sunshine. These screens won’t sag like traditional fiberglass and will stay cleaner.
