A solarium is one of the most effective ways to enjoy natural light while staying protected from unpredictable Canadian weather. At Lumon Canada, we design and build elegant, functional solarium rooms that let you connect with the outdoors—without the wind, rain, or snow getting in the way. If you’ve ever wondered what a solarium is, it’s a glass-enclosed space that functions as an extension of your home, creating a bright, relaxing environment that works as a sunroom, reading nook, or year-round gathering space.
What Is a Solarium?
A solarium, also known as a sunroom, is an enclosed glass structure designed to offer an open-air feel with weather protection. It’s typically built as an addition to a home, often attached to the back or side of the house and facing the yard, garden, or outdoor view. Solarium benefits include:
- Energy Efficiency: High-quality glazing helps regulate temperature and lower heating costs.
- Full Exposure to Natural Light: Large glass surfaces allow for maximum sunlight while reducing harmful UV rays.
- Extended Seasonal Use: Protects From wind, rain, and snow, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors longer each year.
- Increased Home Value: A solarium addition can boost resale value and visual appeal.
- Versatile Functionality: Can be used as a dining area, office, playroom, or personal retreat.

- Efficient Use of Space: Fits neatly onto patios, balconies, or garden corners.
- Ideal for Urban Living: Adds value and comfort even in tight spaces.
- Flexible Function: Can be styled as a breakfast nook, home gym, or reading space.
- Easier Installation: Smaller footprint often means faster project timelines.
- Lower Overall Cost: Compact solariums can offer savings on materials and labor.
