4 Considerations When Adding a Sunroom

Imagine adding a room to your home that lets you enjoy the natural views surrounding your property without braving the elements. With a sunroom addition, you can enjoy all that and more. You can experience beautiful sunsets, calming rain showers, and everything else nature offers while still staying comfortable indoors.

Before you bring the charm of the outdoors into your home, there are a few things you need to consider. From the purpose of the space to the contractor you hire, these tips for adding a sunroom can help you design your dream addition. Keep reading to learn more.

Determine the Sunroom’s Purpose

Think about how you will use your sunroom. Maybe it will be the perfect place to relax, read a book, take a nap, or play with the kids. You may want to put a dining table in it to enjoy meals and entertain family and friends. It is also a great backdrop for your hobbies, whether you like writing, painting, or practicing yoga. Maybe you want your sunroom to do all these things, and as versatile as they are, you’re in luck!

Location Matters

Choosing the location of your sunroom is one of the most important pre-construction decisions you’ll have to make. Before investing your time, money, and energy into adding a whole new room, consider how your new space will work with the layout of your existing home. 

With a sunroom addition, you must consider the orientation of your home. How much sun do you want your room to capture, and when? For example, if you want a space that captures as much sun as possible during the day, you should build a south-facing sunroom. An east-facing room will allow you to watch the sunrise in the morning, while a west-facing sunroom provides late-afternoon and evening sun in addition to sunset views.

Use High-Quality Products

The materials used to build your sunroom can greatly affect the space’s aesthetic and functionality. High-quality products like insulated glass, aluminum, vinyl, and natural wood ensure you can use your sunroom year-round — even during the colder months. You can also feel confident your sunroom is built to last and will create a beautiful finish for a space you love to show off. Hiring an experienced and trustworthy contractor can help ensure your sunroom is built with only the best materials.

Hire an Experienced Contractor 

Contractors have the experience and industry knowledge to help you design the best sunroom for design and functionality purposes. They can offer suggestions on the best location and materials for climate control. For example, if you plan to use your screen room in winter, your contractor will install insulated glass to help control the temperature. A great contractor will also communicate with you throughout the process and answer any questions or concerns. Overall, they should provide you with the best-looking and performing results and a stress-free installation process.
