Sure, a big backyard is nice, but is it being put to its full potential use throughout the year? Unmatched. In the summer, an open sunroom can provide lots of room for play, and shelter on chilly, rainy or snowy days when you’d probably rather cozy up inside. 

Sunrooms add an entirely new dimension to your backyard living experience; the space is often more protected than, for example, another space in your home like your front porch.

There are three key reasons why a backyard sunroom is the way to go:

• You expand the usable space in your home 
• You save more on energy costs
•  More privacy for you and your loved ones 

Let’s go through each reason, and how that can translate to more enjoyment at home.

1. You expand the usable space in your home 

The best part about having a sunroom at the back of your house? You can expand the usable space in your home so much more. If you’ve been imaging ways to renovate your home that would add space, this is a strong way to go. 

You can enjoy a retractable, three-season sunroom throughout the year—even longer if you have another source of heater to keep you warm. It’s up to you what you want to use that space for: a home gym, a playroom, an herb garden, a social space, or even a safe space for your storage where the weather won’t get to it.  

A sunroom is an investment, but adding protected, comfortable space pays for itself quickly in the value you get out of it. If you’re wondering about the cost of a sunroom, here, you can find what all makes up the price of a Lumon sunroom.

2. You save more on energy costs

It’s true—your sunroom could add up to big energy savings over the course of each season. A sunroom acts as a buffer between the outdoors and indoors. The insulating effect of glass walls keeps you warmer in cold seasons, and cooler in warm seasons. This makes them an attractive option to those who live in climates that face a torrent of rain or snow.

But you’ll notice a benefit during the summer, too. A great feature of Lumon’s retractable glass walls is that you can fold the glass panels to the side and allow air flow. Still, hot air often feels stuffy, so this feature makes your sunroom perfect to enjoy in the summer.

3. More privacy for you and your loved ones 

A sunroom can offer more than protection against the weather. Installing one can also bring a greater sense of security and privacy. Lumon’s sunrooms can be locked up whenever they’re not in use, and add an extra layer of protection against unwanted visitors. Lock it up, and step away with the peace of mind that all of your furniture, kids’ toys, and other belongings are secure. 

You can enjoy more insulated, private gatherings with all your loved ones. Everyone loves an outdoor gathering, but perhaps not how noisy they can get. Plus, those outdoor get-togethers don’t have to no longer have to be weather-dependent. Rain or shine, make it happen with your loved ones—your pets will love your sunroom, too.
