SUNROOM TOOLS & TIPS
Back to Sunrooms

Understanding sunroom construction
There are three vital parts to any sunroom and each plays a major part in the construction and the life of a sunroom.

  1. Foundation. The construction of the foundation is crucial to the lifetime of the room. Sunrooms may be constructed on wood decks, commonly called insulated decks, or concrete slabs. Shortcuts are often taken in constructing wood decks, frequently with disastrous results for the sunroom owner. When decks are not built to code, with proper pier footers, proper load beams, and proper attachments to the home, the room can shift, pull away from the home, even collapse. Great care must also be taken with concrete slabs. The most important part of the concrete slab is what you don't see—the footer. For a slab to be properly used for sunroom, a footer 32" to 36" deep must be dug and poured under the edge of the slab. This will prevent settling and shifting of the concrete and keep your new sunroom intact.
  2. Roof. Proper choice of roof materials will maximize usage of the sunroom. Materials that control room temperature and can withstand snow loads are imperative to the life of the room. Your contractor must also have experience in proper installation so that your roof is impervious to leaks.
  3. Wall and Glass System. Enjoyment of a sunroom has much to do with the quality and performance of the wall and glass system. Homeowners want freedom from maintenance, easy-opening windows, security, privacy, insulation, extended use and comfort, and aesthetics. A quality wall and glass system will determine your satisfaction with the appearance, livability, and resale value of your sunroom.
