When it comes to making the most of your indoor living space, nothing helps more than a beautiful and open sunroom. These spaces bring the outdoors inside without sacrificing the comfort and temperature control you expect from the rest of your home. While deciding on the perfect location for the sunroom is important, you also need to work with window contractors to find the best windows for the room. Here’s what you need to know when looking for those perfect sunroom windows.

A Guide to Choosing Windows for a Sunroom

1. Pay Attention to Insulation

Glass does not insulate a room well on its own. This means you’ll want to look for energy-efficient windows for your sunroom. Double and triple pane windows offer better insulation and keep the weather outside from influencing the temperature of your sunroom. You’ll still get plenty of natural light but won’t have to deal with the space being uncomfortable during the heat of summer and the cold of winter. Best of all, these windows will save you on energy costs as your HVAC system won’t have to work overtime to keep the surrounding rooms comfortable.

2. Consider Your Window Frame Options

Window frames can set the tone and feel of the space. If you’re looking to build a sunroom that maximizes natural light exposure and can double as an attached greenhouse, you’ll want that window frame to be as minimal and unobtrusive as possible. However, if you’re looking to make the space feel more like an extension of the house, decorative window panes or even French doors can be a wonderful option. Don’t hesitate to get creative when working with your window contractors.

3. Decide How the Windows Should Open

Not all windows need to open in a sunroom, but some should. This will make it easier for you to enjoy those cool spring breezes and get fresh air inside. Many homeowners choose crank-out windows that are easy to open and maintain. However, if you’re trying to create a more classic look, let your window contractors install windows that slide to open. You may decide to create a unified look by installing the same replacement windows throughout the house.
