Sunrooms have the benefit of ample windows to make you feel like you’re outdoors. Some people replace the windows because they’re old while others add them where there were once screens to make the space usable during winter. If you’re looking for sunroom replacement windows, read these tips from Patio Solutions in East Rochester, NY, on what factors to consider.

What to Look for in Replacement Sunroom Windows

1. Insulation

To use your sunroom year-round, it’s important that new windows provide insulation. This will keep heat in during the winter as well as improve cool air retention during the summer. Professional installation is critical as correctly fitted windows will do a better job of regulating the inside temperature.

2. Energy Efficiency

A benefit of new sunroom windows is the ability to choose energy-efficient glass. Look for windows that feature two panes and have an ENERGY STAR® label. This means they’ve been tested for maximum efficiency and can lower your utility bills while keeping your indoor temperatures consistent.

3. Function

Many homeowners opt to place several kinds of windows in their sunroom. Some like to choose sliders that offer an uninterrupted view of the yard. If you want to open up your sunroom to let in the breeze during the warm months, consider double-hung windows so you can easily slide the sash up to let in cool air or down keep the cold out. 

Replacing your sunroom windows offers an opportunity to better control the temperature in the space as well as reduce your energy bills and change the room’s overall look.
