The Importance Of Windows In Your Sunroom

Planning the perfect sunroom takes a great deal of time to make sure each detail has been addressed. The style of windows you choose will have a profound effect on the appearance of the completed room. In addition to being happy with how the windows look you need to be aware of how each type serves a purpose. It is a good idea to have the windows screened or tinted so that they don't get too hot during the summer months. Some people like to place decorative shades over them instead of tinting because it gives them the option of changing the amount of direct sunlight that comes in. Too much direct sunlight will make the room too hot to be comfortable in. Having shades on the windows allows them to be raised if it is a cloudy day or in the winter to provide more heat to the room.

Proper insulation of the windows will prevent the air from outside from getting in when the windows are shut. You only want the air to get in when you choose to open the windows in the sunroom. If you don't have good insulation then the room will end up being drafty in the winter time and too warm in the summer. You want the room to be comfortable regardless of the outdoor weather conditions.

It is not uncommon for a sunroom to be made completely from window. If you choose this option then the glass needs to be insulated to keep the room comfortable. Make sure you will be happy with that much sunlight shining in the room each day. There are various options though for controlling it so that it isn't too hot or too bright in there.
