Important of Sunroom Construction
When you build a quality sunroom, there is no need to abandon your addition as soon as temperatures drop. A sunroom can make for the perfect winter living space too! If you are just starting the sunroom building process, make sure to talk to your contractor about making your sunroom livable in the winter. Things you will want to discuss with them include:
Windows – windows are the main component of any sunroom. You want sunroom windows to be large, so you will want to make sure they are energy efficient. You don’t want to have your sunroom built to find out your contractor installed cheap windows that let cold air in.
Insulation – most sunrooms have insulation, but make sure you speak to your contractor about insulation that is fit for all four seasons. Keeping the heat in your sunroom will make it more enjoyable during winter months.
Optional features like ceiling fans and heating units can be added to your sunroom. You can use your ceiling fan in the summer to keep the room cool and then reverse the fan to push warm air back down during the winter. In order to heat your sunroom, you will want to have a standalone heating unit—this way, you can turn it on and off as you please. Having a portable heating unit can save you money on your monthly heating bills because you don’t have to constantly run the heater.
