Sunrooms combine the comfort of the indoors with the beauty of the outdoors. These home extensions require some work in the late spring to prepare them for summer use, as they can become quite hot otherwise. Keep your sunroom comfortable this summer by putting these tips into practice.

3 Tips to Help Prepare Your Sunroom for Summer

1. Clean the Windows

Wash the inside and outside of the windows to remove debris that built up over the winter. Use a nontoxic cleaning mixture made of equal parts white vinegar and water to make your windows sparkle. Clean debris from the screens as well to encourage healthy airflow when it’s warm enough to crack the windows. Also, wipe down any patio furniture, vacuum upholstery, remove and wash cushion covers, and sweep the floor.

2. Add Blinds

Keep your sunroom cool with blinds that reduce direct sunlight. Matchstick blinds or other options designed for sunrooms shield the area from harsh UV rays. Stylish blinds that complement your furniture also increase the room’s beauty and ambiance.

3. Improve Airflow

To keep the room cool, consider installing a ceiling fan or split ductless system. Ceiling fans pull warm air up toward the ceiling and circulate cooler air throughout the room. A split ductless system may be beneficial for those who want to continue to use the room throughout the other seasons; it can be either an air conditioner or a heater. Adding an exhaust fan to the room also helps draw out hot air.
