Why do I need a sunroom?
As homeowners, we love nothing better than relaxing in our own backyards. Spending time enjoying the great outdoors is truly refreshing. But there are draw backs such as the blazing sun in the summer with potential damage from UV rays, rain, wind and temperatures that fluctuate throughout the seasons. And seasons that can be just too short.
If we waited to enjoy the outdoors only on days that provided the perfect conditions, we could probably count the days we truly enjoyed the outdoor experience on one hand.
And of course, there’s the biggest problem of all – bugs. Insects are not just to blame for spoiled outdoor parties, picnics and evenings of romantic stargazing – they can pose serious health threats to people, especially children and seniors, as well as our pets.
The concept of the sunroom evolved out of our frustration with wanting to be outside as well as having to deal with the outdoor elements which are not always to our liking.
