Reasons to Choose a Sunroom Over a Back Deck

When you decide to have custom home builders for a new home or remodel, the decisions you make for the exterior of the home are just as important as the interior. In the backyard, you may want a space to entertain guests, enjoy sunny days, and relax. You could a wide-open space or a covered area like a sunroom.

In the state of Florida, the choice of a custom sunroom comes with many advantages over a back deck. When you choose a large sunroom installation, you still have outdoor options available like a swimming pool or grilling area, but the space also comes with advantages over an open-air back deck.



Check out some of the reasons to choose a sunroom over a back deck and how custom home builders can make a sunroom an elegant and relaxing part of your home.

Climate Control

A sunroom allows you to enjoy the sunny days of Florida without the excess heat and humidity. A climate-controlled area can keep you cooled and still provide a lot of natural light as you relax in the space and do not have to check the weather every time you go outdoors.

A custom sunroom installation can also include screened window options. If you want more fresh air, then you can open a window and allow a nice breeze to flow into the room. You can enjoy the best of both worlds while you control the temperature exactly to your liking.

Along with air conditioning vents, a custom home builder can design a sunroom with ceiling fans for even more air flow and comfort.

Weather Protection

Florida weather may feel unpredictable at times. The weather can include random rain showers many days or large gusts of wind during hurricane season. A sunroom allows you to enjoy the outdoor space without rain spoiling your activities. The large glass panels that surround a sunroom allows you to watch clouds and see rain fall without a direct impact.

If you use portable devices or like read in the sunroom area, you do not need to rush and move items when rain starts. You also do not need to worry about rain spoiling any meals you decide to eat outside. When you plan gatherings, weather conditions become much less of a factor.

Wildlife Protection

Florida wildlife includes a wide range of animals, rodents, and bugs. Instead of a back deck surprise like an iguana or a visit from an alligator, protect your outdoor space with a sunroom. If you have a custom pool in the sunroom, you do not need to worry about animals or bugs that seek the large water source.

At dusk, you can enjoy the sunset and night hours without bugs. You do not need to worry about lighting bug candles or using other products to ward off the flying insects. The space is completely clear and also provides extra safety and protection for any pets you own.

UV Light Protection

One of the main dangers of the outdoors is UV light exposure from the sun. Skin damage and cancer can cause major problems, especially after years of prolonged exposure. A sunroom will provide sun exposure, but without the UV rays. A sunroom can include UV protected glass so the UV rays do not penetrate the room.

Along with the protective glass, you can choose to apply a custom film over the glass. You also have the option to install solar shades that will block at the sun completely when you need to.
