FAQ
Q1: Why do I need to invest in a sunroom or patio cover?
A three-season sunroom, four-season sunroom or patio cover affords you the luxury of more space in your home. You'll be able to move a lot of stuff into this newly created space. In your sunroom or patio, you can also entertain families and friends, relax or use it as a place to do your thing. Furthermore, a sunroom adds to the value of your home, making it attractive for buyers if you want to sell your home in the future.
Q2: What type of glass should I install in my sunroom?
As part of the design stage, you'll need to decide the best type of glass for your sunroom. The safest type to get is tempered glass because it doesn't shatter into sharp pieces, but pebble-like pieces. Insulated glass is another option because it provides more protection from cold and heat. At the design stage, you'll also need to decide if you want your doors and windows to be made from glass or not.
If you plan to use your sunroom majorly during the warmer months, then a single pane glass should be your pick. Your Edmonton Sunroom design consultant will help you in deciding the best type of glass your sunroom should be made from. Rest assured.
Q3: What is the best structural material to use in sunrooms?
Aluminum is the best material to use for the sunroom frames because they are solid and less expensive. But because they are poor insulators and aren't transparent, they are not ideal for other parts of the sunroom.
Q4: How much snow can a sunroom or patio roof take?
The amount of snow your patio or sunroom can take depends mostly on the structural design of the roofing panels used. However, they should be able to withstand at least 40 to 50 pounds of snow per square feet.
Q5: How long does building a sunroom take?
It will take between six to ten weeks to build a sunroom from contract signing to installation completion. However, the timeframe varies among projects, and obtaining the permit for the products and structures is the most significant action that can delay the project.
