Sunrooms can add value to your home, and they additionally link the rest of your house with the outdoors. However, it can be challenging to keep a comfortable temperature in a sunroom depending on which way it’s facing. South- and west-facing sunrooms need more ventilation, considering they get the most direct sunlight. North- and east-facing sunrooms are often pleasant in the summer but chilly in the winter. A simple solution to get more air ventilation in the summer is to install side-opening windows. Supreme Sunrooms & Windows Ltd. sells 28mm double glazed windows with the new Low-E glass standard. Opening the windows and turning on the ceiling

fan can create more air circulation. Another option is thermostat-controlled roof vents, which open or shut all through the day in order to preserve a controlled environment.
