Sunrooms - the next home improvement trend?



With home prices soaring, more and more homeowners are remodeling their current homes rather than selling and trading up. And when homeowners consider their options for renovation and adding space to their existing building, more of them are choosing to build with the light of a sunroom rather than to block out the light with conventional 2 by 4s and plywood.



Architects and designers have been telling us that the trend in building over the past several years has been toward more natural light and more open floor plans to get that light to interior rooms. Echoing that trend, Four Seasons Sunrooms Communications Director, James Ruppel noted that, "The successful room today is one with lots of light and nice views and good access."



Whether it's a kitchen or a family room addition, the cry of remodeling homeowners everywhere is "More sunlight!" In an effort to reach these goals, home remodeling contractors install lots of big windows to bring in more light. They open up their roofs and install skylights to bring in more light. They install French or sliding doors to bring in more light.



Recently, however, more and more homeowners are discovering that there's a faster, cleaner, easier and more successful way to get the natural light they crave. More and more homeowners are incorporating a sunroom into their remodeling plans and discovering that there's just no better way to get natural light into their homes.



Mrs. Lee shares "The winter can be somewhat dismal, but I've found renewed spirit with my Four Seasons Sunroom. My 20-foot by 20-foot great room is easy to care for, versatile and practical for gathering friends and family, or just for my own enjoyment. In short, my sunroom is a dream come true; it makes my house feel more like a home.
