Do Solariums leak? Top

Although leaking has been a major concern for sunroom construction for years Sunview has developed a unique one piece glazing system to eliminate most of the joints in the structure thus reducing the possibility of leaks.

Most leaks are caused by faulty installation and our Sunview system makes it easier for contractors to eliminate the leak sources before they happen.

Can I use my Solarium in the winter? Top

Depends where you live and what the weather is outside. Generally speaking people use their Sunview Solarium in all seasons. We don't recommend trying to heat your Solarium when it is -30C outside strictly because of the cost. We have a lot of people that have Christmas parties in their Sunview Solarium.

Many people build a Solarium, Sunroom or Conservatory over an outdoor hot tub that they use year round.

How do I clean my Sunroom, Solarium, Screen Room or Patio Cover? Top

Rain will generally clean the exterior. Hose it down once a year if you experience especially dry conditions.

Mild dish soap, and water will clean the interior very well.

Commercial cleaners specially designed for acrylic are available through us.

Do Not Use window cleaning sprays, scouring compounds, acetone, gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinner.

Do Solariums get hot? Top

Without proper air ventilation your Sunroom or Solarium will heat up with the sunlight. To alleviate the problem we install a ventilation system or combination of systems which may or may not include air vents, screens and/or fans* on the opposing walls (Gables), exhaust fans, sliding patio doors and/or regular sized doors.*Our Fan-Tastic Vent ventilation fans carry a two year limited manufacturers warranty. Controllers allow for manual or automatic control.

Our Solariums may also be fitted with blinds or covers on the inside and/or outside if you so please.

What is Acrylic? Top

Acrylic is a transparent (synthetic) material that we use instead of glass.

Acrylic is a type of plastic that derives its name from the chemical compound of which it is composed. It is made of clear, thermoplastic resins that are found in acrylic acid and natural sources like petroleum. Like all thermoplastics, acrylic becomes pliable when heated and rigid when cooled.

Acrylic features:

Why do we use Acrylic instead of glass sometimes? Top

Because Acrylic is lighter and stronger than glass. Acrylic is also clearer than glass and provides excellent UV protection.

Building or having a sunroom or solarium built not only adds a new room to your home but also provides a nice place to retreat to anytime of the year. Sunrooms are structures that are usually comprised of many windows, allowing homeowners the benefit of enjoying the outdoors while still staying indoors with all the comforts and amenities. These rooms are especially nice to use during the winter months when being outdoors is severely limited due to the cold weather.

There are many things to consider before adding a sunroom or solarium to your home. The first thing to consider is where to build the sunroom. Is there an empty space at the back of the house large enough to hold the new structure? Perhaps you will need to build over a porch or patio, or maybe build in place of a deck.

Another thing to consider is will you hire a sunroom contractor to build the new room from scratch or will you purchase a sunroom kit. There is often a difference in price if you use a sunroom kit or not. Some cost may be saved if you can do part or all of the construction yourself, depending on your ability.

Still yet another question is do you need a large space or just a small space? How much furniture will you place in the room? You will want to design the sunroom or solarium to hold enough furniture to comfortably seat everyone. Will you have a table in the sunroom for eating meals? Consider the amount of space that furniture will take up including couches, chairs, tables, and even a television if so desired.
