Types of Sunrooms

2023-09-27

The sunroom is an ideal space for relaxation and entertainment. It can be used as a place for family gatherings, reading, resting or for activities such as plant growing. Feeling the warmth of the sun and breathing the fresh air in the sunroom can bring pleasure and relaxation.



Let's take a look at the types of sunrooms.

Sunrooms come in different designs and functions, but a sunroom is generally considered an additional room attached to the home. They typically have a door between the room and the house. Sunrooms take on different names depending upon their functionality, such as three-season and four-season porches.


four-season room

A four-season room, or four-season porch, can be used all year long because it has heating and cooling elements. A four-season room or porch comes with challenges in certain climates. In a colder climate, they can be an energy drain because they have little insulation and require more energy to heat.


Three-Season Porch

A three-season porch, or three-season room, is used in the spring, summer and fall. It typically doesn’t include heating elements, thus making it unviable during the winter.


Greenhouse/solarium

A sunroom with glass walls is a greenhouse or a solarium. These spaces are ideal for those with green thumbs or those in search of a panoramic view of the outdoors.


Screened-In Porch

Screen-in porches function as three-season rooms and offer the pleasures of sitting outdoors without the nuisance of bugs. Screened-in porches have a timelessness to them that harkens to days of Chevrolet and apple pie.
