Sunrooms are the perfect home addition; they can increase property value and allow you to enjoy your outdoor space from inside your home. And when it comes to the design, the options are endless. Before you take on this remodeling project, however, there are some important factors you will need to consider first.

3 Factors to Consider Before Adding a Sunroom

1. Design

While it is important to customize the design of your sunroom to fit your personal style, it must also fit in with your current living situation. For example, do you have the land for the sunroom or will you need to make adjustments to your home? The sunroom can also interfere with your roofing structure, so speak with an architect to understand the full extent of the project.

2. Materials

The material you choose will affect the aesthetics and functionality of your sunroom. Aluminum is a common option because it is versatile and can withstand heavier weather conditions; however, the paint requires routine touch-ups and maintenance. Wood is also popular among homeowners for its rustic, warm vibe. 

3. Three Season versus Four Season

The two main styles are three-season and four-season sunrooms. Three-season sunrooms are best used during the fall, spring, and summer because they don’t have the framework and engineering for temperature control. The four-season sunroom is designed with a thermally engineered frame to prevent heat loss, making it comfortable year-round. It’s also the more expensive option, so consider how often you plan to use the room.
