A home addition adds space and value to your property. Many savvy homeowners are turning to four-season sunrooms for their versatility as well as their year-round benefits. If you’re unfamiliar with this type of project, use this guide to learn more about it and why you should get one.

What Is a Four-Season Sunroom?

Four-season rooms, also known as sunrooms or solariums, are fully-enclosed home additions. They’re typically designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in abundant daylight and views of the natural scenery surrounding your house. Unlike three-season rooms, these are wired for electrical, heating, and cooling systems to keep your family comfortable year-round. 

What Are the Benefits of Adding One?

A sunroom gives you a way to appreciate the beauty of nature without leaving your home. You can appreciate a snowstorm in the winter in a cozy, heated space, or sunbathe in the summer while avoiding the heat.

It’s also a space to grow houseplants or entertain guests, set up a home office, or transform into a bright playroom for children. With ample sunlight year-round, this room provides a healthy dose of vitamin D. This could be especially beneficial for those who experience the winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. The valuable square footage this adds to your home can be used for hosting overnight relatives, holiday parties, or simply as added storage space.
