A sunroom is an area with either partial or full glass walls. This type of room is a flexible space that can serve as a great addition to your home.

Generally, a sunroom has 3 walls and then the wall that is opened up to your home. The traditional sunroom has full-sized glass windows that span the entire height and width of the room. The concept is to let the sun in to create a warm and welcoming area.
