Sunrooms

Because Moonrooms Wouldn’t Make Sense

Picture yourself sitting in your new sunroom, watching the evening light fade slowly from a pale blue, to a soft pink and finally, behind the trees in your garden, a luscious edible purple. You stand up, draw open your French windows and step out into the cool summers evening just as the light trickles away.
Having a sunroom creates a room with a unique feel; with all the light filled glory of a conservatory, but without any problems that might arise from the glare of a sun soaked glass roof. In fact there are a number of variations possible when designing your sunroom with your Ideal sales consultant, depending on what you want.
 

What might I use it for?

A versatile sunroom can be used as just about any type of room. Sunrooms have all the characteristics of a normal room, but with access for sunlight on 3 sides. This makes for an airy, bright and welcoming room.  You could use it as:
 
  • An extra living room
  • A bright bedroom
  • An ideal place to grow plants
  • A sunny dining room
  • A secure kids playroom
  • A separate work space
  • A music room, for listening or playing
  • Anything except a dark room!
 

What Sunroom designs can I choose from?

Partial Glass Sunrooms: Walls up to about knee height and then windows all the way to the roof line.
 
Full Glass Sunrooms: A full wall of glass all the way from floor to ceiling.
 
Un-insulated Sunrooms: Best for use in warmer seasons.
 
Insulated Sunrooms: Fully insulated and usable all year round.
 
Converted Existing Room: Change a suitable room, add on to an existing structure or build onto a patio or deck space.
 
Roof Style: With or without roof windows. To increase or limit the feeling of openness.

What’s the difference between a Sunroom and a Conservatory?

Both are sunlight filled rooms which are versatile and make a great addition to your home, not only aesthetically, but because they can increase the value of your home dramatically. Sunrooms in the UK are generally considered to have at least 3 walls of glass and a solid roof, while conservatories have 3 walls of glass and a glass roof.
Other names for a sunroom include:
 
  • Sun parlours
  • Green rooms
  • Solariums
  • Porch enclosures
  • Patio rooms
