Sunrooms From Better Living

When most people think about a sunroom, they don’t realize that there are a number of variations within this label of product. First, there are patio rooms, which are also often referred to as 3 season sunrooms. These rooms are built on an existing (or built) deck or patio that is able to withstand the weight and stress of the patio room. They are a versatile option for many families, for a number of reasons.

 

• First, they are affordable. Because they don’t alter the construction line of your home in any way, they are a relatively inexpensive option when you are looking to add outdoor living space to your home.
• Second, they can be built with a number of options regarding screens and glass window panes so that you can create exactly the environment you want depending on the current temperature. If the air outside is comfortable, you can lift the glass panes to allow the air in through the screens. If not, the glass panes keep the uncomfortable temperature comfortably outside.
• You can decorate a patio room with furniture and carpet or other décor, knowing it is safely protected from the elements because Better Living patio rooms are built with heavy duty roofs, fully tempered glass and sturdy construction throughout.

 

If you prefer a sunroom that is fully climate controlled and comfortable year round, then you are looking for what is more commonly known as a four season or all season sunroom.

 

Better Living specializes in these types of construction. They have been custom designing these home additions since 1986, although since 1962 their sunroom roof panels have been used in sunrooms across North America.

There are several designs that they work from, such as the sloped roof of a studio, the A-Frame design that includes gable type glass, or any number of custom builds depending on your needs and your preference. You are able to choose from desert sand or soft white for your sunroom color.

 

These buildings are built from vinyl that is reinforced with aluminum and are insulated in order to be enjoyed year round. Your current cooling and heating system can be extended into your sunroom area so that you have full control over the temperature of the room for your maximum enjoyment.All of the windows and doors that Better Living uses in their sunrooms are fully Energy Star qualified, meaning that they meet the qualifications to be considered energy efficient.

 

The Beautiful Option of Better Living Conservatories

 

If you take a sunroom and replace the ceiling with glass, then you have created a conservatory. These rooms create a beautifully sunny, warm spot in your house, regardless of what the weather holds for you outdoors. Better Living will custom build these structures in order to provide you with exactly the conservatory that you have seen in your dreams. The conservatories from Better living are built from high-quality vinyl in North America.

 

Although the ceilings are made mostly or entirely of glass panels, the grade used is proven to sustain the load of even a heavy snowfall in winter. Furthermore, you can keep your building looking beautiful with very little maintenance. The vinyl material used in construction won’t need to be painted.

 

So just the occasional window cleaning with a soft cloth and some warm water will be enough. Plus, you can choose materials that will help cut down on noise pollution so that your sanctuary is even more peaceful and quiet. From the design itself down to the decorative roof and window fixtures that are available, Better Living will custom create a conservatory plan to ideally match to your home and your vision.

 

Create A Cool Shady Spot At Low Cost With Better Living Awnings and Patio Covers

 

If you would like to spend more time in the outdoors but don’t have the budget or the space to build an entire sunroom or patio room, then Better Living has a couple of other options to consider. First, there are Patio Covers. These are permanent awning-type structures that are built from insulated, high strength materials.

You can quickly create a covered porch or a carport with one of these products. And if you add screen panels, then you’ve got a fast, inexpensive screened-in porch or breezeway to enjoy. Or, you can install a Better Living retractable awning cover.

 

These products allow you to have a convertible type of living area – you can leave the awning in place in order to protect you and your family from the sun or weather, or you can retract the awning when you are either not outside or when you don’t feel the need for the shade that it creates. You can choose from over 200 different fabrics for your awning, and you’ll get a 5 year warranty from the manufacturer.

 

Plus, the awnings can be custom designed to fit the size that you need, and you can have a control system that ranges from the simple, manually operated retraction to a wireless remote control retraction model.
