Sunroom Skylights: Why You Should Fill Your Sunroom With Additional Light

What are sunroom skylights? Sunroom skylights are light transmitting elements that help form the roof of a home. They bring natural light into the sunroom through the use of glass or polycabronate materials. Open skylights were first used in the Pantheon during Ancient Roman times. The “oculus” is an 8.3 meter wide circular opening at the top of the building. Apollodorus built the oculus to bring light and air into the building. Furthermore, the oculus serves as the only source of natural light in the building beyond the entrance. The open skylight brought the elements into the Pantheon, but in some instances, this was welcomed. Rain cooled the building during Rome’s summer months. Skylights manufactured in the Industrial Revolution began to approach the sunroom skylights used in LivingSpace’s sunrooms. By this time, technology produced larger, more stable panes of glass that were glazed to better seal out the weather. Therefore, they were useful to people trying to naturally light their homes, and skylights became common in wealthy landowners’ homes. Today, skylights are more common, and technological advances have made them more efficient for homeowners. LivingSpace makes and installs state-of-the-art sunroom skylights for those who want to bring more natural light and enjoyment into a sunroom. Will a skylight reduce my sunroom’s insulation? Concerns suggest sunroom skylights can create a room that is unusable during the summer or winter because of poor insulation. For example, sunroom skylights made with low-quality glass provide poor insulation power and make a sunroom uncomfortably warm during summer months. However, LivingSpace exists to bring a true four-season sunroom to the market. Consequently, LivingSpace uses materials that let you enjoy your sunroom year-round. LivingSpace ensures their sunroom skylights are manufactured to function purposefully without corrupting the sunroom. The type of glass used to construct a sunroom skylight is critical to the insulation performance. LivingSpace’s sunroom…

Make a Television Room Out of Your Sunroom

A sunroom is likely to become the most trafficked room in your home once it is constructed. Consequently, it will be important to plan the right way to utilize the added square footage. The functionality of the sunroom will dictate the way it should be designed and decorated. LivingSpace Sunrooms wants to give you the resources available to create a timeless area. Our second installment of our comprehensive interior design guide will outline the prospective options available through a television room. BUILDING A TELEVISION ROOM A LivingSpace sunroom offers unique opportunities if used as a television room. For example, a sunroom allows neighborhood barbecue guests to socialize in the yard while simultaneously watching the night’s broadcasted game. A sunroom also allows friends to gather for ritualistic Monday evening television show viewing parties. However, televisions are notorious eyesores in the home, and they are difficult to decorate around. They are large, black rectangles that function by dominating a room. This can act as a problem within a sunroom. A poorly decorated sunroom can let the television distract from the panoramic views offered by a LivingSpace sunroom, or vice versa. Nonetheless, deliberate attention to interior design can help you avoid this predicament. Luckily, LivingSpace allows customers to fully customize their sunrooms to match their preferences. There are plenty of decorating options that will allow a television to coexist with the decor and the outdoors. Lonny gives different tips and options to consider. Blended Backdrop A flat screen against a black accent wall will allow your television to hide in plain sight. This emphasizes the colors projected by the television when it is on.

Minimalist Living Room Makes Interior Design Elegant

A sunroom is likely to become the most trafficked room in your home once it is constructed. Consequently, it will be important to plan the right way to utilize the added square footage. The functionality of the sunroom will dictate the way it should be designed and decorated. LivingSpace Sunrooms wants to give you the resources available to create a timeless area. Therefore, this first installment of our comprehensive project will outline the prospective options available through a minimalist living room. Further installments will work to outline further options. Building a Minimalist Living Room A LivingSpace sunroom is a perfect place to create a living room or relaxation area within your home. A living room or relaxation area will give the sunroom versatility as you use it for numerous different occasions. It can be a social place for family conversation, a quiet place for reading, or a stress-free place to unwind after a long day. It is important to maximize the opportunities a sunroom can provide. This can be done through your deliberate attention to interior design. Warren Lloyd has worked for many years as an interior designer and architect in the Salt Lake and Seattle areas. His work has been described as “quiet” but not silent. It is void of clutter. In general, interior design champions this method of styling a room because it visually and emotionally calms those utilizing it. Lloyd says this idea of simplifying allows the room to move closer to the core of its function, which allows those using it to better focus. This thought is furthered by Studio McGee as they suggest breathing space will allow your hard work to stand out. This gives a purpose to the “white space” created by a decluttered living area. A decluttered layout is crucial when trying to…

3 Differences Between a Conservatory Room and a Sunroom

When you are considering adding living space to your home, you might come across sunrooms and conservatories. But what is a conservatory and how does it differ from a sunroom?

The following are just a few that you can take advantage of when you build a conservatory room addition: • Increased curb appeal • Perfect for gardening • Great natural lighting If you think you might prefer a sunroom addition, you can expect to enjoy after you have a sunroom added to your home: • More living space • Increased sunlight • Insulation options Conservatory or Sunroom? Despite having fairly similar benefits, there are at least three major differences between sunrooms and conservatories. Purpose The largest difference between the two rooms is their purpose.

Sunrooms are designed to be an extension of your living space, whether you want it to be an office, family room, or dining area. Materials Unlike sunrooms, conservatories feature more transparent materials, such as glass, plastic, etc. In fact, conservatories typically have 50% glass on the walls and 75% on the roof.

Enhance Your Local Sales by Building Trust Within the Community

ENHANCE YOUR LOCAL SALES BY BUILDING TRUST WITHIN THE COMMUNITY Whether you are doing business in a busy metropolis or a suburban region, chances are that there are several remodeling companies that are all vying for the business of local residents. So, how can you stand out from the crowd without pushy sales tactics and breaking your marketing budget? The key to a quality contractor-consumer relationship is trust, and building that trust starts with grassroots efforts within your community. Homeowners looking for a remodeling contractor want to feel confident knowing that the company they choose isn’t all about the profit. Instead, they want to work with a team that is connected to the needs of local residents and takes part in establishing themselves as a positive force within the community. Taking your marketing tactics back to basics and building up trust with potential clients is easier than you may think, and the following tips can get you started in boosting local sales while also making an impact on the community as a whole: 1. Jump In and Give Back If you really want to do some good within the local area and make a good impression on customers, charity work is a great place to start. Sponsor a local little league team, attend community outreach events as a company, or take part in volunteer work that makes your community a better place. Not only will this add to the overall morale of your employees, it will also get you noticed when you’re regularly showing up to help out while wearing your company shirts and uniforms. 2. Take Initiative to Think Outside the Box If you are doing business in a quiet area that doesn’t have a lot of big-name charity events happening, why not start one of your own? Brainstorm…
