BUILDING A SUNROOM TIP #1

When you are planning to build a sunroom, there are many things to take into consideration. You should ask yourself- how often will I use my sunroom? Most of the sunrooms are now insulated, have double pane glass windows, and are energy efficient. We sell DREAMSPACE and LINDAL sunrooms. Difference between those manufacturers is- DREAMSPACE sunrooms have aluminum and vinyl frames, while LINDAL frames are made of high grade clear cedar wood and have overhead glass or wood ceiling options. Both manufacturers offer best energy efficient window packages on the market. You should consider DREAMSPACE and LINDAL room additions as 4 season rooms, you just need to add a heat source and if you are building on a deck, insulate the floor. One of my favorite ways to heat a sunroom is by an electrical heated floor and independent heat source from the house- A/C and Heat wall unit (look at attached pictures). Another option is baseboard heaters and free standing A/C units (follow this link http://www.abt.com/product/40536/Friedrich-P12A.html ). Also, you can add a ceiling fan with the heat unit built in, which you can get from any electric store.
