This sunroom/screened porch is stunning in it's simplicity. Reminiscent of a Cape Cod style, the white pitched roof, 360 views and painted wood floors make it cozy and contemporary at the same time. The window system lets you seal it up when needed or open it up to allow the lake breezes...brilliant!

リビングルームの一角にサンルームが有ります。洗濯物は外に干すのではなく室内で効率よく乾燥させるには大型の天窓付きの乾燥専用の小部屋を設けることが良いと判断しました。花粉やPM2.5等などが洗濯物に付着することも無く強制的換気と併用することで効果的に乾燥させることが出来ます。

We have an existing 14'x20' deck that we'd like replaced with an expanded composite deck (about 14 x 26') with a 6' open deck and the remaining part a sunroom/enclosed porch with Eze-Breeze. Our schedule is flexible, but we want quality, responsive folks to do the job. And we want low maintenance, so Trex Transcend+ or TimberTek would work. As part of the job, we would want the contractor to replace the siding on the house that would be covered by new sunroom/enclosed deck (we understand the covers may not be a perfect match). This would include removing an intercom system and old lighting system. We would want the contractor to be one-stop shopping for us, not require us to find an electrician or pull permits. The sunroom/porch would need one fan and two or four skylights. Gable roof is preferred. The sunroom should have two doors -- one on the left side to the open deck portion (for grilling) and one to a 4-6' (approx) landing that transitions to a stairs. The landing and stairs would be included and be from the same composite material. The deck (on which sits the sunroom/closed porch) would need to be about 3' off the ground and should be close in elevation to the base of the door from the house -- i.e. walk out the house and into the sunroom with little or no bump.

Conservatory with Painted Wood Flooring and a Skylight Ideas and Designs

A conservatory, garden room or orangery is a decidedly British and Irish home extension: a room that allows us to enjoy our outdoor space without having to brave the unpredictable weather. Originally a type of glass house or greenhouse where plants could be grown in sheltered conditions, the modern conservatory now offers flexible entertainment space. Your conservatory can serve as an additional living area, a garden room, a spacious dining room or an open-plan kitchen; all flooded with the extra light that a glass extension will give you.

What conservatory style should I choose?

A lean to conservatory is the most straight-forward garden room structure with a slanted roof that appears to lean on the original house wall. If you’re looking for a small conservatory then the simple rectangular design of lean to conservatories makes them ideal for bungalows and properties with small gardens. The Victorian conservatory is the most common style, with an elegant shape which features a rounded end wall. An Edwardian conservatory is built similarly, but with a rectangular shape that is perhaps more space-efficient. L or P-shaped conservatories combine the styles of both Victorian and Edwardian garden rooms, and offer a versatile space that can be split into separate areas. Contemporary garden rooms with large glass walls are fantastic additions to modern homes or extensions and can create stunning exteriors. However, designs like these do use a lot of space and could require special planning permission. If you don’t have space for a large, contemporary garden room and you aren’t a fan of the uPVC conservatory, orangeries or sunrooms may appeal more; the structure is sympathetically designed to appear consistent with the style of the house.

What is an orangery?

They are both glass-walled and -roofed structures, but what is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery? The traditional orangery has a longer history ‐ it became popular in the 17th Century when homeowners wanted a place to grow citrus plants (e.g. orange trees, hence ‘orangery’) and so built structures, either stand alone or incorporated into their homes, with glass walls and roofs, similar to greenhouses. The conservatory is actually believed to have developed from the orangery after the fashion for growing citrus plants died down. However, homeowners still wanted a place to grow other tropical, herb or shrub plants that would allow sun and warmth into the house in summer and allow the plants to survive in winter. Today, the real difference is in the construction. Orangeries are considered traditional extensions with masonry walls and more standard Victorian structures, whereas modern conservatories can be more varied and made of a range of materials, including timber, uPVC or aluminium.

What type of conservatory furniture do I need?

Chances are your conservatory furniture will see a high amount of direct sunlight. Keep this in mind when choosing pieces, since some fabrics and materials can quickly fade or become uncomfortably hot. Outdoor furniture will generally stand up well to the heat and light exposure of sunrooms and orangeries, but don’t be afraid to mix and match with indoor pieces as well. Wicker, seagrass and rattan furniture items are good options, while you might want to steer away from metal and leather pieces which will get hot in the sunlight. Installing conservatory blinds or shades that can be drawn when the room isn't in use is a smart way to prolong the life of your sunroom furniture when the space is not in use.
