Choosing a Sunroom

Since you are considering building a sunroom addition onto your home, you probably enjoy the the benefits of sunlight and extra warmth and light it brings into your home.  During your research of sunrooms, you may have noticed that there are several different types.  Mainly, they fall into two categories: Three Season Sunrooms and All Season Sunrooms.  The first step in considering which type of sunroom is right for you is to decide how you would like to use your new sunroom.  An Atlantic Aluminum Designer can help ask you the right questions for you to decide what type of room would best suit the needs of your family.

Many people use sunrooms to extend the living space of their homes.  Depending on the location of the sunroom, this extra space can be an ideal way of expanding your kitchen, dining, or living area.  With the holidays fast approaching, perhaps you need extra entertaining space or somewhere unobstructed to keep your Christmas tree?  If you intend on using your sunroom for any of these options or if you need the space for an office, playroom, or excercise room, the space would be considered a high usuage area and would need to be an All Season Sunroom which can be kept comfortable year round.  Your focus for this type of addition would be to find quality windows and experienced installers.

Perhaps your family does not intend on using the sunroom througout the year.  A three season sunroom is the perfect option to meet any budget and lifestyle.  If you have an existing screened in porch or patio, a three season sunroom is a great way to upgrade and utilze the "dead" space of your property.  Remember, you can also convert your three season sunroom to an all season sunroom at a later date.  Since Delaware is has relatively temperate a three season sunroom can be used most of the year.  Plus in the extreme winter or summer months, it acts as a wonderful buffer between your home and the outside entryways - saving you money in heating and cooling costs.
