Perhaps you've been thinking about moving up to a larger home. You hate to leave the one you're in but you want additional living space for, say, a home office, a recreation area or spa, or a larger space for entertaining family and guests. What are your options?
Many homeowners have found a smart way to expand their living space and avoid the cost of a traditional project by adding a sunroom to their home. A custom-designed and built sunroom, solarium or conservatory can usually be installed in less than a week, generally costs less than traditional room additions, and can add significant permanent living space and value to your home. What's more, a sunroom lets occupants enjoy an outdoor environment with glass doors and windows that can be opened to allow fresh breezes in and closed to shut bad weather out.
As part of its ongoing efforts to provide cost-conscious and energy-friendly products, Patio Enclosures, Inc. has recently achieved Energy Star rating on its ComfortGard Plus glass windows and doors. Besides thermal efficiency to provide energy-savings, the company's "Edge-to-Edge Advantage" philosophy floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall glass doors and windows - provides maximum views of the outdoors, facilitates passive solar heating and cooling, and permits abundant natural lighting to enter the home.
Natural sunlight has healthful benefits and can rejuvenate one's outlook especially during sunless days. And a well-designed and built sunroom can actually help differentiate your home from others if you do decide to eventually sell it. In neighborhoods where similar homes are available, a sunroom, solarium or conservatory can be a very attractive enticement for buyers and typically allows the homeowner to recapture as much as 70 to 100 percent of his or her initial investment, depending on the area of the country you live.
But, all sunrooms are not created equal. Avoid rushing out to buy a sunroom without taking some time to understand the difference between the offerings from different companies. Some companies claim that they can build a custom-sized sunroom, but only offer standard-sized windows and doors. The rest of the room will consist of opaque filler materials that can block an occupant's view. A sunroom that doesn't conform to a home's architecture also creates an "add-on" look that can detract from your home.
"That's where a company like Patio Enclosures, Inc. stands above the rest" states Kenneth Sekley, President and CEO of Patio Enclosures, Inc. "We custom manufacture and build each room to the individual homeowner's specifications."
A sunroom, solarium or conservatory can be a very beautiful and enjoyable addition to your home. Don't just shop for the best price, make sure your sunroom is the best value for your money.
