Everyone’s talking about bringing the indoors out with an outdoor living room; however what about bringing the outdoors in?! With the high demand for quality luxurious outdoor living additions and continued interest in solar energy, sunrooms are increasing in popularity once again. When integrated thoughtfully, sunrooms produce the perfect synergistic environment for true year round enjoyment and leisure.

In Colorado, we are fortunate to have some of the most desirable weather in the country; people here love spending time outdoors and it’s easy to see why. Nevertheless, weather in Colorado can be difficult to predict throughout all four seasons of the year. If you’re a long time Colorado resident, you know it’s best to always be prepared and keep a jacket or warm clothes on hand. (Have you ever been to a Red Rocks concert?) Heck, it’s not uncommon to see people walking around in shorts and flip-flops in the winter.

The weather conditions can vary immensely during winter. Even on cold winter days you can always find solace in a lovely sunroom addition that allows the sun to shine through, warming our hearts and uplifting our spirits. You can bring your cozy deck and patio furniture indoors as needed, bathe your plants in the sunlight, and experience complete relaxation in your new favorite room. It‘s an exceptional space to entertain guests, spend quality time with loved ones, or simply sit back and unwind!

In the same way that outdoor living additions have become more elaborate, sunrooms too have evolved and are becoming more sophisticated. When most people picture a sunroom, they tend to envision a simple metal and glass style enclosed patio. These cheap and inefficient rooms are now completely out of date, offering little or no insulation at all. This flawed design often exaggerates the temperature outside; it creates an unbearably hot room in the summer, and becomes awfully cold in the winter. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t align with my picture of a comfortable and relaxing environment.

Our sunrooms are a true extension of the home.

Many downsides to traditional sunrooms can be easily remedied with thoughtful design. The primitive glass and aluminum style sunrooms lack character and don’t fit in with the rest of the house. Here at DeckTec Outdoor Designs, we have an entirely different approach to sunroom additions. Just as log cabins utilize the thermal mass of wood, nature’s inherent insulator, our sunrooms do too, which results in a more comfortable environment year round. We create sunrooms that are functional, comfortable, and beautiful; we design them to be visually appealing and coordinated to be a true extension of the home. A tremendous value for the true outdoor living enthusiast!

The increasing sophistication of sunrooms will completely change the way you picture them for good. For example, there are door systems that allow the entire wall to open up for a seamless transition to the outdoors on warmer days. With proper planning, utilizing solar panels in conjunction with traditional skylights you can even have a solar room! The sun can provide more than enough light during the day, and your solar panels can harness energy to power everything else. It can almost pay for itself!

A sunroom addition is a great space that balances the outdoors and indoors like no other area of your home that adds immense value to your lifestyle all year long. Our custom sunroom designs, like our decks, are completely tailored to each homeowner’s unique lifestyle.
