If you are thinking about adding some outdoor living space to your home, you have much to consider. In addition to thinking about cost of installation, you should also think about how you plan to use the space and yearly maintenance. Decks, patios and four season rooms are all great living space additions to your home, but there are great differences between them.

Looking to increase the value of your home? Any time you can add square footage and living space to your home, you will automatically increase its value, both in essence and in actual price assessment value. This article focuses on the versatile benefits of adding a sunroom to your home.

Manufactured homes are a great option for many people. They have all the comforts of a traditional house, but at a much smaller price tag. These homes are also constructed more quickly than a custom home; some are even move-in ready, making them almost too good to be true. Did you know the ease of purchasing and living in a manufactured home can continue even when adding an addition?

Did you know that you can stargaze from the comfort of your own home? You don’t even have to go out into the backyard when you have a sunroom with a glass roof. Instead you can relax in comfort while you watch the stars pass overhead. These sunrooms are easy to install, and you can seamlessly add them onto existing structures.

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.

Are you outgrowing your home, but don’t want to move? An addition is a great way to increase your living space. With many options to choose from, learn about the differences between sunrooms and room additions. 

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.

Screened porches have a long list of benefits for your home. They generally increase the value and allow you and your guests to enjoy the outdoors bug-free. They are, however, not without their limitations. For example, since screened porches are vulnerable to the elements, you may only get to enjoy yours between late spring and early fall.

When we designed our morning room, I did a bit of research on it. The term "morning room" came about during the early 1800s to designate a space used mainly in the morning. These usually had eastern exposures and large windows to take advantage of the sunlight. These days, morning rooms are very similar to sunrooms. Both rooms are often wrapped in glorious glass. Here we discuss some morning room design ideas.

Most sunroom lovers have sunrooms because they adore light and nature. Personally, I can’t seem to ever get enough of either one. I spend most of my time in our sunroom, which is appropriately surrounded with glass walls to let it all in, while I loll around in its splendor. When we installed our bio-ethanol floating fireplace, winter became my favorite season.
