If you live in Texas, you know how hard it can be to relax outside. Between the mosquitoes, the rainy winters, and the scorching summers, it seems like you have every reason to stay inside. In 2020 we are spending more time at home and many of us are looking to optimize time spent in outdoor spaces. You don’t have to give up your comfort to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the outdoors when you install a sunroom or patio enclosure.
Our friends at Texas Remodel Team have created a quick guide to finding your ideal outdoor relaxing or entertaining space. Sunroom or patio enclosure? Let’s find the right fit for your Texas home remodeling budget and goals.
Cost
First and foremost, you should take the time to consider your budget. When working with a more generous budget an all-season sunroom could be a great fit. For homeowners who are more concerned with choosing the cost-effective option, we recommend the patio enclosure. There are fewer materials involved with this project, so you can easily afford a comfortable, bug-free patio. You should always keep in mind, however, that many companies offer customizable designs, so you can still create a sunroom that fits your budget.
Energy Efficiency
When you compare the two types of home additions, you should also think about your efficiency preferences. If you want a place that can maintain a comfortable temperature all year long, then an all-season sunroom can help you reach these goals. We recommend enclosures for customers who are less concerned with heating and cooling their addition throughout the year.
Amount of Use
Lastly, you should talk with your family to discuss how you plan to use your addition. Sunrooms are ideal for families that are looking to use their home addition year-round as extra living space. Whether you want to create another living room, office, or indoor garden, a sunroom has the right amount of insulation to use year-round. Are you just looking to make more use of your patio or deck, or have a protected space when the rain or sunshine chases your party indoors? Then an enclosed patio could be a perfect fit for you.
Endless Possibilities
Whether you decide on a sunroom or patio enclosure the options are plentiful. Take time to think about how you will use the space and what features appeal to you the most. A good remodeler will work to create the indoor/outdoor space of your dreams that your family can use now and for years to come.
