Choosing The Best Sunroom Design For Your Needs And Budget
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

There are many kinds of sunroom design you can implement for this particular extension of your home. Each design depends on the materials that will primarily be used to surround the said sunroom. Let's take a look at the options available for you, and discuss their advantages and disadvantages:

* Screened. Screens provide a natural passageway for the sun's rays. Also, it will allow the entry of a cool breeze from the outside, all the while excluding the entrance of unwanted pests and undesirable dirt. Of all the sunroom options available for the homeowner, a screened sunroom is the most inexpensive (with the possible exception of an al fresco design, of course). The problem with a screened sunroom design, however, is that it is less elegant to look at, compared to other possible makes.

* Glassed. Glass, unlike screen, is a very elegant material. It will instantly add that "wow" factor for your sunroom. Though many people are quite hesitant about glass given its apparent breakability, most glass materials these days are quite durable. Some glasses, in fact, are mixed with rubber during the composition process, thus making them absorb an impact without shattering into pieces. This technology can be observed in the glass used for windshields of cars. The disadvantage? Again, unlike screens, glass is actually one of the more expensive materials you can avail of for your sunroom design.

* Double glazed. If you have the money to spend, you can install double layers of glasses to shield your sunroom from outside forces without inhibiting the entry of the sun's rays. In between the two layers of glasses is gas that will help insulate your sunroom from the cold winter.

* Triple glazed. This will be a more expensive option, of course, but it is the one that is best recommended for sunrooms in colder territories. Such a sunroom is tasked with the duty of containing and preserving heat, which is exactly what the three layers of glass aim to accomplish. A double layer of glasses can only provide enough insulation to preserve the heat. Three layers will ensure that the heat will be maintained even through the harshest winter.

* Vinyl or PVC. A glass substitute, Vinyl or PVC is actually less expensive. Its durability makes it easier to maintain as well. This material is best recommended for beginners who just wish an elegant sunroom design that is both efficient and budget-friendly.
