What is a Sunroom?
The term "Sunroom" is somewhat inexact.
Typically, it refers to an area of the
home with an abundance of windows
designed to receive a maximum amount of
sunlight. Sunrooms are sometimes
referred to as solariums, conservatories
or garden rooms.
For all
intents and purposes, a sunroom is a
bright and airy room full of windows. It
is the getaway around the corner within
your own home. Adding a sunroom to your
home offers the best of both worlds,
allowing you to bring sunshine into your
space while controlling the climate and
weather within. The attraction of
feeling close to nature while being on
the comfortable side of a glass wall
seems to have universal appeal.
Popularity of
Sunrooms
Industry experts estimate that over
half-a-million Americans are building
sunrooms each year, with the rooms being
used in a variety of ways. Some sunrooms
become hot tub rooms or playrooms while
others are designed as home offices,
exercise rooms or simply quiet spaces
for relaxing.
According to
a recent survey, nearly 70 percent of
homeowners who currently have a sunroom
consider it an extremely important
living space. Of homeowners who do not
have a sunroom, 64 percent wish that
they could add one.
Glass-enclosed rooms can easily be added
to nearly every home floor plan.
Sunrooms are an economical way to expand
your living space and add new ambiance.
To achieve the best possible results
with a sunroom that you will enjoy for
years to come, it's advisable to enlist
the assistance of a sunroom specialist.
With their help, designing and
installing your sunroom will be a much
more pleasant experience.
Why are Sunrooms
so Popular?
Sunrooms are enjoying increasing
popularity for a variety of reasons.
With Americans spending more time at
home, home improvements have increased.
With a lower cost of construction than
traditional additions and a higher
valuation, adding a sunroom is a smart
move that assures an excellent return on
investment.
For the
year-round enjoyment that they can
provide, sunrooms are a uniquely special
space. If your house seems to hem you in
when the outside temperatures head
south, a sunroom can bring a splash of
sunlight into your space every day of
the year.
