Sunrooms From Betterliving
Betterliving is one of many sunroom designers and contractors that offer the homeowner a way to add value, and enjoyment, to their most important investment, their home
Adding a sunroom to your home is a major investment. Not only does it cost money to build, but it will add value on to your house should you decide in future to sell. Therefore, it is only common sense that your new sunroom be well designed and well-built.
As with any improvement or addition to your home, you can “Do-it-yourself” or you can pay a contractor to build a sunroom for you. It all depends on how complex the project is and your own skills.
If you decide that you’ll have a contractor build your sunroom, it’s important that you choose a reputable manufacturer…someone who has been in the business for years and has a reputation. One such company is Betterliving of New York. [Yes, that is Betterliving, not Better Living!} They have earned a reputation for quality sunroom, patio, conservatory and awning products since 1946.
Sunrooms From Betterliving
If you’re thinking of a sunroom, the first thing you’ll discover is that you can’t just add a sunroom to your home. You have to check with the zoning laws in your area to ensure that you’re even able to build it.
The next thing you’ll discover is that there is not just “one” sunroom. There are all sorts of choices to choose from.
Patio rooms, also referred to as 3-season sunrooms, are built on a pre-existing deck or patio. This deck must be able to withstand the weight and stress of the additional room – and your home will have to be inspected to ensure that this is the case.
These types of rooms are the most affordable. Such rooms don’t alter the construction line of your home, so they are relatively inexpensive to build. But you have most of the benefits of a sunroom – if the weather outside is comfortable, open up the windows to enjoy the breeze. If its cool, those windows will keep that weather outside. Because the room is protected from the elements you can go all out with carpeting, furniture, and accessories.
Betterliving specializes in the 4-season, or “all-season” sunroom: fully climate-controlled and, thus, comfortable year round. These are rooms that are actual additions to your home (and again, check zoning laws to make sure you can build one.)
Unlike the 3-season sunroom, whose design is predicated on the already existing base, the 4-season sunroom can have any length and width desired. You can choose the sloped roof of a studio, an A-Frame design with gable glass, or any number of custom designs to suit your needs or preference.
Your sunroom will be built from the highest quality vinyl, reinforced with aluminum. Choices of colors are desert sand or soft whit, which can complement your existing home color nicely. You’ll want electricity in your sunroom, obviously. Betterliving’s designs contain UL approved wiring systems. (UL stands for Underwriter Laboratories.) And the quality of your windows are important as well. Betterliving’s windows have an Energy Star rating, so you know they’re the best. (Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.)
Betterliving has a presence on the web. So go check them out, and then check out a dealer near you.
