Sunroom- A New Concept
Everyone knows about sunroom but important thing is what an actual meaning of sunroom is and why we use this in our homes? “A sunroom, sun parlour, sun porch, or sun lounge is a structure, usually constructed onto the side of a house, to allow enjoyment of the surrounding landscape while being sheltered from adverse weather conditions such as rain and wind.” The concept is popular in the Canada, United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Sun room can be constructed of brick, breeze block, wood, glass or PVC. The brick or wood base makes up the main support for the PVC, referred to as the “knee wall”, which is attached to the top of it. The glass panels are large and often clear instead of frosted. The roof may be of glass panels but is more usually of a plastic material which lets in sunlight. Some sunrooms are designed for scenic view, while others are designed to collect sunlight for warmth and light. These, usually called solariums, are found in Northern (low sun angle) or cold (high altitude) locations. Solariums have walls made up of glass (or plastic), often curved joining windows, and glass roofs. Sunrooms tend to have conventional roofs.
A solarium is similar to a sunroom in that both are glass structures designed for people to enjoy the sun without being directly touched by the rays of the sun. The chief difference is that solariums often have curved glass corners and glass roofs.
In Canada Sunrooms are very popular. Sunroom window is an important part of a sunroom which makes it very popular. The roof of a sunroom can be all glass, which may result in significant heat loss in cooler weather or attraction of too much heat in the summer. So an acrylic roof is better option for sunroom. The insulated roof will reduce the heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. The acrylic roof with the heat stop pearl option will allow 50% of the light to enter and reflect 80% of the heat. A drip less coating used on the outside assists the rain in washing away dirt that can accumulate on the roof and that is so obvious with a glass roof. Since the roof is not transparent in the same way as glass any remaining dirt tends to be less obvious. At night the roof will reflect light inside the room and give an appearance that is brighter than a glass roof.
