All Seasons Roofing Works on Upgrading your Sunroom This Summer

(Newswire.net — June 1, 2015) Wilmington, North Carolina — When the weather is warm outside, sunrooms make the perfect for location for hosting summer gatherings or simply lounging around enjoying the dog days of summer. These tips for how to upgrade a sunroom come from Mike Rivenbark at All Seasons Roofing, who came up with the ides of creating ASR Sunrooms, based on their experience in designing sunrooms in Wilmington, NC.

Tint the Sunroom’s Windows

The natural light that is let in by the large, encompassing windows is one of the best features of sunrooms. However, if the room is exposed to direct sunlight during the heat of the day, it may also be one of the worst qualities. Hiring a roofing company to tint the windows can provide solace from the sun’s harmful UV rays while still allowing everyone to enjoy its natural light.

Add a Small Window AC Unit

The temperature inside a sunroom is directly affected by the weather outside. When the weather is warm, the sunroom is a pleasant place to be. However, if the weather is blisteringly hot, sunrooms can quickly become uncomfortably hot and humid. This particularly is a problem for those living in the South. Adding a small window AC unit is a quick and easy upgrade that doesn’t require a large budget. This small investment can significantly expand the usefulness and practicality of the sunroom.

 

                                                     

Replace the Sunroom Furniture’s Cushions and Pillows

Although the cushions and pillows used with sunroom furniture are designed to resist fading, over time it will occur due to constant exposure to direct sunlight. This effect can be mitigated by storing them in a dark closet when the sunroom is not in use. But when the once vibrant colors are now dull and faded, new cushions and pillows can breathe new life into the room.

If the furniture is in poor condition, this is a good opportunity to purchase a new furniture set. However, if the furniture is still in good condition, purchasing individual, complimentary cushions is a cheaper alternative. Another option is to sew new fabric covers for the existing cushions and pillows. This is a very affordable upgrade that only requires basic sewing skills. Although the newly recovered cushions will be inside a sunroom, for best results, select fabrics that are designed for outdoor use.
