Finding The Right Sunroom Windows In Few Simple Steps

By Kevin Russell


Everyone loves the light, and there is no limit to the natural light when windows are installed in the living spaces. Finding the best sunroom windows can be a daunting task because there if far more to its quality than it appears to the naked eye. Moreover, the performance of one window varies considerably from that of the other, and this can be attributed to different factors. Here are some of the tips to finding the best casements for your sun parlor.

In those sun parlors that have already been fitted with casements, all that the property owner needs to do is to tint the casements to ensure that they allow maximum brightness into the parlor while at the same time guarding the occupants against the summer heat. The casements can be backed with an awning that opens up to permit ventilation of the parlor while shielding the occupants from disturbance from insects.

The property owners also have the option of using a shade as opposed to tinting the casements of their solarium. Shades have the advantage of allowing the property owners to add a decorative touch to the room. The use of shades also provides the homeowner with flexibility in decisions concerning the amount of light that should get into the lounge. In winter, the property owners can raise up the shaded casements thereby allowing more light into the parlor.

If the homeowner desires to have a four-season sunspace that remains comfortable even during the coldest winter, it is recommended that they go for the high-performance casements. This is one of the most energy efficient options available to the property owner. The draft proof seals and double panes combine to provide extra insulation to the high-performance window thereby minimizing heat loss and heat gain. This ensures that the energy bills remain lower irrespective of the season.

In the case where the property owner does not wish to add high-performance casements to the lounge, they can go for those designs that are conservative. If you choose this design, you need to be willing to put up a sunroom that is only made up of glass. Only those property owners who want to have more sunlight in their lounges each day should settle for the conservatory designs.

Glass can also be fitted on the casements of the sun parlor to block the UV light from getting into the lounge. If UV light is allowed to get into the lounge, there are high chances that it will damage the floor and furniture. To prevent such destruction, it is advisable that you go for those casements that have a high R-value that allows only a certain amount of light to get into the room while blocking the destructive ultraviolet light.

When finding the perfect casements for your sun lounge, you can also choose between fixed or open casements. The fixed casements are cheaper than open casements. The cost of building the solarium can be significantly reduced if the homeowner uses both fixed and open casements. When shopping for casements for the sun parlor go for those that are made of tempered glass that does not crumble into sharp shards when broken.

Make the most of your sunroom by installing the right kind of casements that will transform it into a luxurious living space.
