Choose SunPorch for maximum natural light and solar heat gainSunPorch’s light transmitting roof is designed to maximize the flow of natural daylight into your SunPorch. This also serves to keep adjoining rooms much brighter.

Adding a SunPorch or ShadePorch to your home will give you more outdoor enjoyment than you ever dreamed possible. When it’s warm, the screenroom becomes a cool, breezy retreat. Then, as the weather turns cooler, you’ll extend your outdoor enjoyment by converting the SunPorch to a cozy and protected sunroom that uses solar energy from the sun to keep warm in winter.

Your family’s special room in every season No more running inside when it rains or the weather turns cooler. No more swatting mosquitoes on a summer evening. Plus, you’ll never have to put your patio furniture away again.

A beautiful addition to your home...inside and outSunPorch or ShadePorch makes a beautiful addition to any style home. Our modular design ensures a perfect fit. In fact, many of our owners say the addition looks so beautiful, friends and neighbors were convinced it was custom designed.

Both the SunPorch and ShadePorch can help heat your home and save energyDuring cooler months direct sunshine will heat the sunroom, typically raising its temperature up to 50˚F or more above the outdoors. Even on days with little direct sun it will generally be 10˚ to 20˚F warmer than outside. This heat gain can be used to help warm your home and reduce your heating costs. Plus, SunPorch and Shade-Porch provide added insulation to the outside wall of your home.

Enjoy your outdoors even more in rainy, chilly and buggy weather

SunPorch helps us to save energy in summer and winter. It heats our entire house nearly all winter long. The clear solar glazing in the roof lets the sun stream in and generate enough heat that we open the door to the house at 10am and close it at 4pm. Then in the summer with the skylight shades, roof vents and Easy-Slide windows, it helps keep our house cool and reduces AC usage.

— George and Ida A., Washington


Optional Skylight Shades keep you cool and shaded. (See Accessories Guide for details)

Air circulation and the efficient venting of warm and stale air is a critical component of the SunPorch’s overall design.

Air circulation is the key to comfortProper air circulation, particularly during the warm summer months, is essential to your comfort in any outdoor room. That’s why we designed Roof Vents right into our standard SunPorch kit. During the warmer months these vents help to draw cool, fresh air in through the Easy-Slide windows. As the air warms and rises naturally it is continuously vented through the roof keeping you cool and comfortable.

Weather tight & insect screenedWe include one Roof Vent for every 3' roof bay to optimize air circulation and the ventilation of warm air. Each vent is 1' square, fully screened and thoroughly and permanently weather sealed. Each vent is installed in a pre-cut factory opening one foot from the top ridge of the SunPorch.
