How to upgrade 3-season sunrooms to 4-season sunrooms?
Why you want a sunroom? To stay comfortable in your home any time, any day. Just take a seat, grab a cup of coffee, and start reading a good book while being surrounded by nature. Open the windows when you want to enjoy cool natural air or shut them if there’s strong sunlight shining from outside.
3-season or 4-season, if you own a sunroom, you already live a better home life than someone who doesn’t have. But if you want to enjoy it the whole year, a 4-season sunroom helps you get the most out of it.
Before we go on to upgrading a 3-season sunroom into a 4-season sunroom, let us first tell you the difference between both the sunrooms. Both of the sunrooms are made of glass and screen, but the major difference is that a 3-season sunroom cannot be used on colder days. Thus, one of the biggest reasons to get a 4-season sunroom is to enjoy the heat on winter days.
The difference between 3 and 4 season sunrooms
The main factors that resist you from enjoying the 3-season sunroom on winter days are HVAC, glass, and insulation. A 3-season sunroom is made of single-pane tempered glass. The glass is thin and does not keep heat inside the room, thus not an energy-efficient option.
In order to use the space for winter, upgrading the windows to double pane glass will help. Additionally, it also helps in keeping UV rays away.
When talking about insulation, 4-season sunrooms always have better insulation, whereas 3-seasons sunrooms have little in the room. This is because the 4-seasons sunroom is airtight and can better save the air inside the room relatively. Thus, the heat is trapped, and the room could be used in winters as well.
Because your sunroom doesn’t have the right glass and insulation, for HVAC, it is difficult to warm it up on a very cold day. If you want to rely on HVAC to cool or heat your season as per weather conditions, a 4-season sunroom is the best option.
Apart from this, the way of engineering and the use of materials plays an important role in adding versatile features to a sunroom. Usually, the 4-season sunroom is built with polycarbonate and aluminum along with good quality glass. They are also engineered thermally, thus help in keeping the room warm or cold as per your temperature requirements.
