With winter approaching, you may think your time basking in the sun is coming to an end, but Patio Solutions says that doesn’t have to be the case. This East Rochester, NY, business specializes in constructing beautiful sunrooms so you can enjoy the benefits of solar heat even when the outside temperature is cold. Their professional sunroom installations offer a bright, cozy spot for relaxing, working, and even gardening well into winter.

4 Factors For Flawless Sunroom Installation

1. Position & Orientation

A sunroom requires a particular location and position if you want to harness the full strength of the sun in the winter. The sunroom should be oriented as closely as possible toward Earth’s true south, which is slightly off its magnetic south, to take advantage of the sun’s low angle.

2. Glass

If you’ve ever upgraded your windows, you’re aware of advancements made in glass technology. Patio Enclosures will find the right glass option for your needs and cut the pieces for a custom-made sunroom installation.

3. Insulation & Thermal Mass

The effectiveness of your glass won’t matter if your sunroom can’t contain solar heat. The walls and roofing need proper insulation, and the walls and flooring must have optimal thermal mass to retain warmth. Stone, tiles, and concrete have a higher thermal mass than carpet and wood.

4. Ventilation

Your sunroom must have proper ventilation to distribute warm air. Windows, doors, and well-directed vents and ductwork will move accumulated heat where you want it to go. You also can use fans or an HVAC system to ventilate for more convenience.

Once you’ve considered these factors, Patio Solutions will help you design the perfect sunroom for your home.
