Enjoy The Sun While Inside Your Home With a Spectacular Sunroom

(Newswire.net — April 1, 2016) Wilmington, North Carolina — Sunrooms transform porches from one-season rooms to all-season rooms. Soak up the sun all year long in the safety and comfort of your own home.

You Say Sunroom, I Say Solarium

Sunrooms are not solaria. Sunrooms feature large glass windows that open up walls to natural, healthful sunlight. They also are called Florida rooms or sun porches. Solaria (or solariums) can be separate, all-glass rooms, including glass ceilings, or they can be attached to your home. To further tempt you, patio enclosures can be sunrooms or solaria built right on top of your existing patio.

Sunroom Benefits

Sunrooms not only admit glorious sunlight all year long, they can improve your home’s energy efficiency by keeping heating costs down in winter. While Wilmington winters may not rival our northern neighbors for snow, temperatures can be mighty cold. A sunroom brings in the natural heat energy of sunlight and traps it, helping to warm your entire home.

Radiant energy passes through the glass coming in, but most of it is transferred by convection to your home’s air and not bounced back out through the glass. You run your furnace or boiler less often in winter with a sunroom on your home. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends sunspaces as a cost-efficient way to achieve passive solar energy savings.

Health Benefits

Sunlight activates production of Vitamin D in your skin. Though you should avoid too much sun, most Americans do not get enough sunlight and so do not get enough Vitamin D in their bodies. Sunrooms can counter this by allowing you to quickly sit down inside your own home and take in that healthful sunlight, without all the fuss and bother of slathering on insect repellent or taking a trip to the beach.

With frequent, relaxing visits to your own sunroom attached to your house, you can boost your immune system, improve calcium uptake in your body, and strengthen your bones, according to the Journal of Investigative Medicine.
