Sunrooms provide an open, sunny view that you can enjoy at any time. It is a significant decision to add one to your home, but many benefits come with it. Below are a few questions that potential buyers ask to ensure you have the necessary information before deciding.

5 Commonly Asked Questions About Sunrooms

Where can you build a sunroom?

A strong foundation is a necessary component of this room, so anywhere next to or in your home should be adequate. You can put the addition on a deck, patio, porch, or a brand new slab.

How long does it take to build?

Constructing the structure only takes a few days, but the manufacturing of the framework and specifications will take considerable lead time. Allow up to 10 weeks for the entire project to be installed.

What can you use them for?

A sunroom is an extra space to relax. Build a cozy library, reading area, playroom, or workspace. You can also use it to host guests, like a breakfast nook or dining room. If you’re feeling creative, turn it into a painting studio or yoga room. This room can be anything you want to match your hobbies or desires.

How do you control the temperature inside?

Sunrooms are known for their panoramic windows. This allows the sun to stream through, warming the space. Adequate insulation and ventilation are necessary to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. You can also direct your HVAC system into the s room for heating and cooling capabilities. Consider insulated shades, low-emissivity glass, and warm flooring to monitor the temperature as well.

Are sunrooms weather resistant?

Snow, rain, hail, and sleet should not affect the room. The structure has the same building standard as the rest of the home, so the environment should not play a factor in durability. Tempered glass will allow snow and rain to slide off easily, preventing icy buildup during winter.
