Sun Room Additions in Southern Maryland

A sun room is a great place for entertaining and relaxing. A typical sun room is a 100- to 200-square-foot enclosure added onto an existing house, with single-pane glass and windows that can be opened to let fresh breezes in and shut to keep out wind and rain.

Sun rooms come in a variety of styles and give a feeling of being outdoors while providing most indoor comforts. Sun rooms that feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors to maximize outdoor views can be a great home addition. Some sun rooms make the perfect spot for a spa, complete with a hot tub, but that's just one possible use. Other uses include entertaining friends and family, providing space for exercise or recreation, a home office or studio, or simply a quiet spot to relax with a good book.

Before adding a sun room, you'll need to determine how you'll use a sun room. Year-round use likely will require supplemental heating and cooling as well as double-pane, low-e glass for optimal energy-efficiency. Sun rooms often can be built where conventional additions can't be because of building codes and zoning ordinances that restrict backyard
additions. A sun room can also add living space in an area where there are underground obstacles to conventional construction.
