Dreaming about transforming your outdoor space into a usable, elegant space, and feeling ready to get started on making it happen? Perhaps you just don’t have the storage you need now, and see potential in your balcony. Or, maybe you’ve put a lot of work into your backyard, and you want to have a space to admire it from when you can’t be out in it. Maybe you don’t even have the home built yet, but you know you want it to have a sunroom.

It’s exciting to breathe new life into your space. Investing in your outdoor space is a big decision, and you want to be sure you’re choosing a good, personalized solution for your home. 

That’s why we offer a step in the process where we sit down with you to discuss your sunroom options through a home consultation. Our free sunroom consultations give you the opportunity to ask all the questions you have, to receive design tips and ideas for a customized solution to your home.

It’s never too early to start considering your outdoor space; taking Lumon into your plans right from the beginning is a great idea. That way, we can ensure that the implementation of your retractable sunroom is made to be as efficient and practical for you as possible.

Here’s our design consultation process broken down, so you know what to expect during our conversation.

What the design consultation looks like

Let’s get started by answering some of the big questions that come up.

Who should be there for a sunroom consultation?

For the visit, we ask that all the decision-makers along to be present. We want everyone’s voices to be heard, because installing a sunroom is an investment that lasts a lifetime. If you have children, it’s a good idea to have them along as well. Think to yourself: who will be using this sunroom the most? Who’s life will it improve? 

How should I prepare for my sunroom consultation?

Before the home visit, research what you want to incorporate into your design. If you have a budget in mind, do not hesitate to be open about that, as well. The more information Lumon’s Design Consultant has to work with, the better.

The free home consultation covers, in principle, the following: 

• Getting to know a member of our local design team
• Discussing your needs and the possible problems which are to be solved
• Answering questions about how our product can address those problems

At the end of the visit, you will be left with 3D renderings of your upcoming project and an accurate quote. 

What questions can you expect to have answered?

There is no such thing as too many questions during our consultations. The more you talk about what’s on your mind, the more Lumon can ensure that the space is designed in a way that makes the space usable for you. This is an opportunity to learn lots about Lumon’s product and its versatile use, so ask away!

How much does a sunroom cost?

The cost of the project will also be covered, which we understand often holds some weight as a deciding factor. Although one may assume Lumon’s product is expensive because it’s ‘just glass’, there are many components that comprise the total price, which should be considered!

What elements of my home can impact in the design process?

You’ll also have a chance to ask any questions about the design with the Design Consultant. Building a new room on your home is no easy feat, and there are several factors that can impact the process.

• Foundation: Having a good base for the project is an important starting point, so that the sunroom can be installed securely.
• Repairs: Consider any possible surface repairs before the sunroom is installed; doing so after the fact could be more challenging. 
• Purpose of the space: The Design Consultant will also help to design the room according to your planned use of the space. For example, walkways, direction of opening of the glazing, etc. are all important elements to consider already in the planning phase.
• Permits: The permits you may need, as well as the permitting processes, are up for discussion, as well.

We know it’s quite a lot to remember, but don’t worry—your Design Consultant will ask you and ensure we get all the details we need.

How long does a sunroom installation take?

We aim for the home consultation to provide you with information to help make an informed decision; we’re ready to sign the deal if and when you are. Once we send the order to production, delivery time varies between 8-14 weeks. This can depend on the scope of the project and current projects.

See the potential in your sunroom

You may not realize how much a sunroom can transform your outdoor space until you have your home consultation. The retractability and ease of use opens up the possibilities for what you can do with the space.

Remember: if you are just designing your home, or building it—or have been living in the same home for many years—there’s no ‘correct timeline’ on when to start your project. You can even start today, and our Design Consultants are there to help you and guide you in making your outdoor dreams come true.
