Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Sunrooms can add value to your home, and they also link the rest of your house with the outdoors. However, it can be challenging to keep a comfortable temperature in a sunroom depending on which way it’s facing.

South- and west-facing sunrooms need more ventilation, because they receive the most direct sunlight. North- and east-facing sunrooms are often pleasant in the summer but chilly in the winter.

A simple solution to get more air ventilation in the summer is to install side-opening windows. Supreme Sunrooms & Windows Ltd. sells 28mm double glazed windows with the new Low-E glass standard. Opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fan can create more air circulation.

Another option is thermostat-controlled roof vents, which open or close throughout the day in order to maintain a controlled environment. Active Ventilation Products, Inc. has an Aura Skylight Ventilator that draws air out without any moving parts. This is a more eco-friendly roof vent.
