Pros & Cons of Solid Sunroom Installation in PA

If you’re not sure which type of sunroom is right for you, here are some of the pros and cons of a solid roof sunroom installation:

Sunroom Solid Roof Pros:

• Cost: Solid roof sunrooms tend to be a little more affordable than glass roof sunrooms because the very high quality, double-thickness, energy-efficient glass that goes into a glass roof sunroom is more expensive than solid roofing material.
• Cohesiveness: The other parts of your home have a solid roof, so you may prefer a sunroof installation with a solid roof to give your home an overall more cohesive look.
• Protection: While our glass roof sunrooms do provide protection all around, just like a solid roof sunroom, you may not want to have light and heat shining down on you from directly above. Even with glare reduction and insulated glass, some people would rather avoid the overhead sun effect.

Sunroom Solid Roof Cons:

• Consistency: A sunroom made entirely of glass has an internal consistency that you may find is broken abruptly by the presence of a solid roof.
• Less Light: Many people love sunrooms for their abundance of sunlight. With a solid roof installation, sunshine can only enter through the sides of the structure.
• Material: Since your solid roof will not be made of glass, you will need to decide on the material for your solid roof. Popular choices are aluminum, which is sleek and sturdy, vinyl, which is economical, efficient and low-maintenance, or wood, which provides a strong and natural look.
