Sunrooms are a great addition to any home. They’re versatile, can increase value, and add a sense of style to the structure. Unfortunately, there are a few misconceptions around sunrooms that make people shy away from using them to their full potential or not wanting to build them at all. These rooms are unique and the perfect addition you didn’t know you needed. We’re here to set the record straight with a few of the most common misconceptions.
- “It Gets Too Hot”: People focus too much on the name itself. While the sunroom is meant to have full exposure to the sun, that doesn’t mean it’s going to get so warm you’re not going to be comfortable in it. Over the years, sunrooms have been perfected to have the benefits of letting in as much sunlight as possible, but the windows and the structure itself are kept cool. Between insulated windows, fans, air conditioners, and temperature elements you can use your sunroom whether it’s the coldest winter night or the hottest summer day.
- “It’s Too Expensive”: Since it’s an addition to your home, automatically people assume the project will be too expensive. The reality is that sunrooms are generally more affordable than most home additions. We can guarantee that you can find a sunroom you’re going to love within your budget.
- “It Takes Up Too Much Space”: Another misconception we hear a lot is that sunrooms take up way too much space on the property and that it looks off with the structure of the rest of the house. There is no “one size fits all” sunroom. Like all house additions, your sunroom will be custom designed to your home and your style.
