A sunroom allows you to enjoy sunshine and nature in the comfort of your home. If you are considering a sunroom for your house, you may not be sure if a three or four-season design is right for you. Knowing the difference between the two will help you make your decision. 

Is a Three of Four-Season Sunroom Best For You? 

Duration of Use

The main difference between a three and four-season sunroom is the months that you can use it. Four-season porches will keep you warm and comfortable during the entire year, as they are built to withstand the winter. Three-season rooms are designed to enjoy during the warmest months of the year, which is usually about eight months. When choosing the design for your home, consider how often you want to use the space. 

Insulation

Three-season porches will often have a glass roof, which lets sunlight in even more on warm days. However, four-season porches have shingle roofs or double-pane roofs to increase insulation and comfort. Some homeowners may also choose to install double-pane windows and insulated walls in four season spaces. 

HVAC

When installing a three-season addition on your home, you can talk to the contractor about whether you want to install an HVAC unit. You might decide to install one to cool the room during the summer and heat the room on chilly nights. However, an HVAC unit is generally a given in four-season porches. This unit will heat the space just like the rest of your home so that you can feel comfortable all year long.
