Sunroom Design Tips Blog

In the south there’s nothing better than sitting outside sipping sweet tea, while watching the herons land in the marsh. Late afternoon thunderstorms can make this an impossibility six months out of the year, though, which is why many consider purchasing a screened-in porch. Whether your view consists of mountains, marshland, the ocean or open space, and despite any type of weather – and insect - you, too, can enjoy life from a screen room, even when the conditions outside are less than perfect.

Many people are finding it economically smart to expand their existing home rather than move to a larger home; or they may wish to stay in their current neighborhood for other reasons. Regardless, when it is time to add on, you may want to consider which option is best: A room addition or a sunroom? A sunroom is an all-encompassing term that can be either a three-season room or a four-season room; it could also be a solarium, which is a four-season room with a glass roof.

Do you want your sunroom to look as good as the beautiful scenery that surrounds it? If so, you should consider a vaulted ceiling. If you are a light lover, this type of ceiling is a great option for you. When you have vaulted ceilings, you can add even more windows, which allow for a better view and let in even more glorious sunlight. Because we custom design all of our sunrooms, we can create windows to fit just about any space, which means that we can take advantage of the extra room that your vaulted ceiling has to offer.

If you live in a four season climate, making the most of your outdoor space when weather permits is usually a high priority. However, the elements and pesky insects can often interfere with your outdoor plans. If you want to make better use of your porch, deck or patio, you might want to consider enclosing it, but how do you know what enclosure is the best option for you?

Do you simply love being outdoors? Being surrounded by nature’s beauty is peaceful and relaxing…that is until you get bitten by a mosquito or stung by a bee. What if there was a way to get the best of both worlds—relaxing scenery and protection from the elements? Well, there is! All you have to do is build a sunroom, and it is easier than you think when you consider the variety of sunrooms that can be built under existing roofs.

There’s nothing quite like kicking back on your screened-in porch with the bounty of nature all around you and a tall, frosty glass of lemonade near at hand. If your home already has a porch, it’s probably occurred to you how nice it would be to enjoy it without the bother of bugs. A porch with walls and entry points made out of screening provides the perfect transition from outside to inside and allows you to feel protected and comfortable, yet surrounded by the glories of your own yard.

Adding a sunroom to your home can give you a great view of the outdoors while allowing you to stay comfortable. All that glass can make heating and cooling tricky though, which is why ventilation is an important aspect to consider. At Patio Enclosures we offer a number of ventilation options for three season rooms, all season rooms, screened in porches, and solariums. You can use one or more of the following options to ensure that your room is a comfortable place to relax and enjoy.

If you’re a yoga buff, you might want to consider creating a yoga sunroom. The ambiance a sunroom is able to provide can make your yoga routine even more enjoyable.
