Q:  What is a Sunroom?

A:  A sunroom is a home addition designed to bring the feel of the outdoors inside your home. Sunrooms typically have glass roofs and glass walls to let the maximum amount of sunlight in, but can be made with solid roofs and solid wall panels as well. A variety of roof styles are available to match the décor of almost any home. Sunrooms can be used as room additions, recreational rooms, spa enclosures, home office, breakfast nook, or poolside room. Sunrooms have been proven to add 100% of their cost onto the value of your home.

The structure may need a periodic cleansing with a mild household detergent and water solution to remove pollutant build-up. In the case of mildew buildup (usually in spots with no direct sunlight), a mild mildew remover can be used. In addition, C-Thru Sunrooms feature water drainage "weep holes" which must be kept clean to avoid becoming clogged.

Q:  What type of glass is used?

A:  C-Thru uses Duralite™ glass that is safer and more shatter resistant than regular residential glass. C-Thru also features the energy-efficient SmartGlass™ line of roof and wall glass, that makes your sunroom a more comfortable place to be.

Q:  Will my sunroom stand up to severe weather?

A:  Yes. C-Thru sunrooms are designed to meet various snow loads and wind loads. These requirements vary from state to state. Check with your local Authorized Dealer to see what kind of engineering requirements need to be met to comply with local building codes.
