Sunroom Provides a Touch of Class
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jitesh_Arora]Jitesh Arora

Sunrooms would spruce up your colorless and monotonous life in the twinkling of an eye. While it is true that these rooms are meant to spice your life, they would greatly add to the realty value of your home too.

Sunrooms are mostly constructed against the side wall of a house in order to allow the inmates to enjoy the outside warmth without undergoing hardships induced by rain, snow, wind, ultraviolet rays and pests. Most sun rooms look like conservatories, but with the exception of plants inside.

Sun rooms, sometimes called as solarium, patio enclosure or conservatory, are real multi-utility rooms constructed either with brick, freeze block, PVC, glass or wood. The base of the walls is invariably built with bricks while the upper portion is usually made up of glass. Clear glass or glass like plastic roofs are the most preferred as they let in the available sunlight unhindered.

Aluminum frames and tempered glass are gaining popularity as prime building materials for sun rooms. The latest designs thoughtfully provide skylights too. The roof is mostly made in a shingle form, which is aesthetically pleasing. Newer technologies have made sunrooms usable in extreme winters and summers also. Earlier, this was not the case and many sunrooms were not put to optimum use during some seasons due to their tendency to get warm and cold according to the surrounding temperature. Sunrooms have grown up from being two-season rooms to four-seasons one now.

Sun rooms have become the most loved area of the house due to its flexibility. They can double up as a recreation room, a massage room, a reading room, a place to unwind or even an area to entertain close friends. They would help you keep in touch with the nature even as you lie insulated inside. These exquisite beauties help the nature to merge with your house in a seamless and subtle way.

Sunrooms enhance the beauty of the house and give it an airy feeling. Modern heating and cooling technologies have made these rooms as comfortable as your hearth and rug. They have become indispensable as a means to relax and refurbish your tired soul and body.

This said and done, I should warn you that there are some set standards for the construction materials to conform. The glass panels should let in the required amount or sunlight and heat, and the beams and pillars should be strong enough to stand up to the harsh storms and snowfalls.

Specialized firms in the business of sunroom designing and building can help you greatly in your endeavor to build a good sun room. Many of us go our own way while designing and constructing, which later may make you regret your decision. The Internet would help you find dedicated service providers and they would help you without incurring much extra.
