An abundance of
choices exist in the
world of sunrooms.
Airy additions could
consist of anything
from a screened
porch to a
full-glass
conservatory. The
most obvious
differences exist in
the appearance of
the rooms, but there
is much more than
meets the eye.

Our
Captiva Sun Rooms are
sure to please every member
of your family.

Screened
Rooms/Porches
A
screened porch is
essentially a
regular porch that
has had the addition
of perimeter walls
of large screened
panels that allow
fresh air to
circulate while
helping keep out
insects. Screened
rooms can be an
excellent way of
getting more mileage
out of your patio or
deck. Use of this
casual area is often
limited to the
summer and warmer
portions of the
spring and fall
months.
Additions to
Existing Walls vs.
Converting Existing
Rooms
Just
as each home varies
in its needs and
characteristics,
each homeowner's
choice of approach
to adding a sunroom
varies. For some, an
existing space such
as an unused deck or
patio or perhaps an
architectural alcove
may make the perfect
new sunspace. For
others, adding extra
living space is a
priority and only a
new addition to the
existing structure
will do.
Full Glass
Rooms vs.
Partial Glass
One of the most
obvious
differences in
sunrooms is the
amount of glass
that they
contain. While
some may be
comprised almost
completely of
glass, others
opt for more
traditional
structures with
solid roofs or
"knee walls"
beginning at the
base of the
floor and
extending up two
to three feet.
Some sunrooms
with traditional
rooflines opt to
install
skylights to
allow extra
light to enter
the space.
Whether you opt
for a full or
partial glass
room is a matter
of personal
preference,
specific needs,
existing
architecture and
local building
code compliance.
Three
& Four
Season
Sunrooms
Less obvious
but perhaps
most
important in
determining
the amount
of enjoyment
you derive
from your
sunroom is
whether you
choose a
three- or
four-season
sunroom.
While both
are enclosed
glass rooms,
a
four-season
sunroom
includes a
fully
insulated
ceiling and
insulated
walls as
well as
insulated-glass
windows. The
home's
heating and
cooling
system is
extended to
keep a
four-season
sunroom
comfortable
on even the
most flaming
summer day
or the most
frigid
winter
night.
If the
exiting
heating and
cooling
system is
not
substantial
enough to
handle the
additional
load of the
sunroom,
additional
systems such
as a
baseboard
heater or
window-unit
air
conditioner
may be
added.
Unless you
live in an
extremely
temperate
climate,
only a
four-season
sunroom will
provide
radiant
relaxation
year-round.
