Sunroom Kits

Sunroom kits can make the process of adding a sunroom to your home easy and cost-effective.

Let the sunshine in by adding a sunroom.

Adding a sunroom to your home adds value and versatility. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the sun year round, plus it offers the perfect atmosphere for entertaining.

Other Benefits:

• Can serve as a greenhouse, providing fresh herbs and vegetables or the fragrance of your favorite flowers year round.
• Adds to the resale value of your home.

Do-it-yourself sunroom kits make it easier than ever to add a sunroom to your home. But even when using a kit, homeowners must plan realistically to make certain their addition will turn out as expected. Here are a few things to consider:

• Is the existing foundation adequate?
• What location is best?
• How much will it cost?
• Will you or someone else be responsible for measuring?
• Can you do the job yourself, or will you have to hire help?
• What features do you want to include in your sunroom?

One of the most common problems experienced with purchasing sunroom kits is that the person who ordered it is unaware of the scope of work required. If you're not 100 percent sure you have the time it takes as well as the how-to knowledge to install the kit, you may not be a candidate for purchasing a sunroom kit.

It's important to think ahead when planning your sunroom. How do you plan to use the room? If you want to use it year round, will you want windows with screens? What kind of windows? What type of flooring? Here are a few features to think about as you look through sunroom kits while searching for the perfect match for your home:

• Sunroom/screen room - Do you want your sunroom to be able to convert to a screen room/porch?
• Roof vents – These vents create an efficient flow of air to keep your sunroom comfortable.
• Solar shades - Solar wall shades let the light and view in without the glare. Solar shades also reduce the amount of heat transfer caused by direct sunlight.
• Overhead shades – These shades keep the sunroom cool by keeping out the hot summer sun to let you enjoy comfort and shade away from harmful UV rays. And during the cooler months, opening the overhead shades lets the sunshine in, which not only keeps the room cozy but also helps to save on energy bills.

Before you purchase your sunroom kit, here are a few other considerations to ponder. Do you intend to connect your sun room to the heating and/or cooling system in your house? If so, this will be work that needs to be hired out for most do-it-yourselfers. Many times fans or portable heaters work fine to keep the room comfortable when the weather reaches extremes.

Also, as you check into the purchase of a sunroom kit, check the guarantees. Are they still intact if you do the work? Many times the materials are covered, but the construction work itself is not. You might want to look at your homeowner's insurance policy too, to see if it will cover any accidents or damage that result from the sunroom project.
