Sunroom Addition – a essential part of your home improvement project

When deciding whether to add a sunroom addition or traditional addition to your home improvement project, Professional Remodeling group in Fairfax, Virginia, a class-A, Home Improvement Company, would like to share some important considerations when making this decision.

Sunrooms are often overlooked as a great addition to your home. First, sunrooms add space, but also natural light which can save on energy and the expenses associated with energy. In addition, sunrooms add a sense of sophistication into your home, where your family can enjoy outdoor living 365 days of the year regardless of whether conditions or other natural intrusions.

Oftentimes, people will overlook the fact that sunrooms may be used for many other uses other than a place of entertaining. For example, sunrooms may also be used as a home office or exercise room and can therefore be one of the most used homes in the house if the room is insulated with high quality class and thermally-efficient framing. New glass technoolgoes can cut down on harmful UVA and UVB radiation, and can therefore also protect your furniture from fading. Low-E (low emissive) glass is also self-cleaning and becoming one of the most popular choices for sunrooms, also associated with much lower heating and cooling costs.

In comparison to a traditional addition to your home, one of the main benefits of a sunroom addition, is that sunrooms may be built quickly with easy construction and therefore less disruption to your home. Traditional room additions are consistent of wood and other solid material and therefore may cost up to three times as much as even an insulated sunroom.

Also consider that sunrooms may be either three-season or two-season. Three-season sunrooms are usually constructed with single-glazed glass and screens which protects your home from only moderately warm or cool temperatures. If you would like a room you can use year round, solarium sunrooms made from double-paned insulated glass is more appropriate.

Finally, Professional Remodeling Group, Sunroom Addition contractors in Northern Virginia, encourages you to keep in mind that a sunroom addition, because of its uniqueness and if done with quality materials, will add resale value to your home. In fact, in comparison to the cost invested into building a sunroom, most homeowners will recoup up to 70% of the investment costs.

Sunrooms are a great way to add a special but useable touch to your home. Not only are they less costly than a traditional room addition, they are beautiful and energy efficient. Although often overlooked and sometimes misunderstood, a sunroom could be just the change and addition your home needs.
