If you have extra space at your home and you are
thinking to utilize it in a productive manner,
then either it will be a sunroom or a patio
cover which will become a beautiful addition. But
out of both, which one to get and why? What is
the difference between a sunroom and a patio?
All these questions will be answered as we
proceed in the blog. First let us learn about
patios.

What is a Patio?

• A patio is a paved area of ground which is either
  adjacent to, or near, your home. Patios can be
  made with materials like concrete, bricks,
  pavers, or any other material that gives a flat
  and a steady foundation.
• You can even call it an outside platform. One of
  the most common features of patio enclosures is
  this These are the enclosed spaces that
  feature high- quality mesh fiberglass screening.

Benefits of Patio Covers
Getting a patio cover at home means that you will
be able to enjoy the cool and gentle breeze
without having to fight bugs, dirt, debris, or
any other foreign particles. It can also be used
as a perfect place as a home office, exercise
area, social entertaining spot, guest
accommodations, kids play area, or even as a pet
resting place. You might be wondering that the
sunroom also functions and offers the similar
comfort. However, both differs in terms of the
foundation of the structure. We will see the
similarities and differences between the sunrooms
and patio covers later in the blog. Now, let us
learn about sunrooms. No matter where you are
residing, having a sunroom will always be a good
decision. For instance, if you are living in
Vancouver and are also looking forward to getting
a sunroom at your place, contact the best

Sunrooms in Vancouver Definition
A simple definition of a sunroom says that it is
a glass-enclosed porch or a room that allows you
a sunny exposure. It is known by different names
like sun parlor, sun porch. Depending on its
use, the names of the sunrooms vary like some
people would call it solarium, conservatory. The
sunrooms are attached to the house and are
accessible from the indoors. People get these
built into their home space to add an additional
living area.

Benefits of Adding a Sunroom
If you get a sunroom installed at your place, you
will enjoy number of benefits like A Higher

Luxury A Perfect and a different Space for Your
Plants Energy and mood booster Not just this, a
sunroom also adds to the beauty of your space.
Since these are enclosed by the glass, these
look attractive and are certainly the head
turners. Believe me, the sunrooms look attractive
all by themselves but you can even make them more
appealing by decorating them with curtains,
plants, hangings, or any other decorative items.
You can even add bedding if you feel like making
it a rest room, install fans for your comfort.
You can dop anything that you want within the
sunroom since these are enclosed by the glass
from all sides. However, there is a drawback that
you may lose privacy as your neighbours will be
able to see you through the glasses. So, for
that, you can get drop curtains and solve that
issue as well. Not just this, you can even keep
the sunroom simple and not accentuate it. All
depends on your preferences.

Sunrooms V/S Patio Covers
As said earlier in the blog too, sunrooms and
patios differ in their foundation. Sunrooms have
inflexible frames, windows, and are developed as
an extension of the homeunlike patio covers
which are a freestanding structure. If we go by
the basic understanding, people often refer
sunrooms as patio enclosures, get confused
because after all, both start as a paved outdoor
space. But the sunrooms are built from the
scratch. On the other hand, patios are just the
extension.

Construction

• When it comes to building a sunroom and a patio,
  the former is built from a scratch and always
  needs a foundation. Because of the strong floor,
  the sunrooms last for decades. To get a sunroom
  built, you generally require a building permit
  as it will be treated as a permanent addition to
  your home. On the other hand, the latter is a
  freestanding structure. It is not a home
  extension and would not require a foundation to
  build a patio.

• There are variety to offer in terms of styles and
  design for both sunrooms and patio covers. You

Sunrooms

• Today sunrooms and patio covers are designed
  keeping in mind the architecture of your home. If
  a sunroom has a glass roof, it is referred to as
  a conservatory or solarium. If it has a roof
  that extends from the roof of the house, it
  might be called a studio, gable or even a
  traditional sunroom. At StrongBuild Sunroom, we
  also offer the choice between fine structural
  materials such as aluminum, vinyl and engineered
  wood.
