Why Should You Install a New Sunroom at Your Home?

Create a new living space that you can use as an extra living room, dining room or entertainment area. Here are some added bonuses to constructing a sunroom at your home:

Year-Round Comfort

• Enjoy the beauty of the snow while staying dry and comfortable, warmed by the winter sun. Or enjoy all the perks of summertime, while being protected from pesky flies and insects.

Increased Style and Value

• Not only will your new sunroom be a great place to entertain your guests, bringing style and class to your home, it will also increase the overall value of your home. Sunrooms look gorgeous, not to mention they add square footage to your living space, making your home a fast seller should you ever put it on the market.

Improved Mood

• Sunlight is an important factor in the production of serotonin, which helps to regulate and improve your moods. With a new sunroom to enjoy, you’ll get plenty of sunlight to help keep your serotonin levels up and make you feel better than ever.

Improved Health

• Vitamin D is a vital part of your overall health, helping you to use calcium and other nutrients that make your body stronger. Spending time in your new sunroom will help you get an adequate amount of sun and vitamin D.

When thinking about designing your new sunroom, here are some things to keep in mind:

Comfortable Seating

• Most sunrooms act as a second living room, so you’ll want the space to be cozy and comfortable.

Multiple Purposes

• Consider using the room for multiple occasions, like family time or dinner parties. Make the furniture adaptable to this by having both a comfy seating area and a dining table.

Environmental Controls

• It is very common for sunrooms to be built without climate control systems, like heating or air, so consider installing a ceiling fan for the warmer summer days or a fireplace for the chilly winter nights.

Shades or Curtains

• With floor to ceiling windows and doors, it’s possible your sunroom can become a bit overheated during the height of summer. Consider installing curtains or shades that will still allow the sun to come through, but cut down on the added heat.
