Sunrooms are a wonderful addition to nearly any home due to the space and abundant natural light they provide. However, before you decide on adding the room to your house, you’ll need to determine which model will best suit your needs and style preferences. To help you make your decision, below are some of the most common sunroom types and their benefits.

3 Types of Sunrooms

1. Solarium

For those who desire a completely unobstructed view of the outdoors while staying inside, a solarium or conservatory is the ideal home addition. With glass walls and ceilings, these rooms were traditionally used as personal greenhouses. However, many homeowners use these enclosures for reading and relaxing instead of solely for growing plants. Solariums are constructed with sturdy metal frames and thermal glass to retain warmth. For maximum comfort all year long, you can install individual heating and cooling units in these rooms. 

2. Four-Season

They are manufactured with high-performance insulation to protect the room from heat loss, which will prevent your energy bills from skyrocketing during the winter. Both the glass and the frames are designed for energy-efficiency as well as durability. Because a four-season sunroom can be enjoyed throughout the year, they are desirable to homeowners who want a continual living space. These rooms can be used as kitchens, dining rooms, or offices. 

3. Three-Season

You can enjoy a three-season sunroom for most of the year. They can be used in every season except winter. As a fully-enclosed home addition, its glass walls will allow vibrant sunlight to fill the room. However, they are not designed to retain warmth during cold temperatures, as this type of enclosure is not installed with thermal glass. For families who prefer to spend the winter months indoors, this type of sunroom is a great option.
