The many possible dedicated uses for a sunroom

The many possible dedicated uses for a sunroom include several different approaches. Each has its advantages, costs, and added value:

A simple deck — While a deck is not a sunroom, it is the foundation of one. Build it first, and you’re almost there!

A screened room — A ceiling and screened walls connected to your deck will give you protection in the wilds of your backyard.

A three season sunroom — While not thermally broken for heating and cooling, a three season room can extend the seasons by providing protection from rain, wind and chilly temperatures.

An all season sunroom — This type of sunroom is available for use all year long. Consider insulation and climate control to make a year-round sunroom.

A solarium — For sun and star worshippers, this is the top of the line.
