| Sunrooms have long been considered one of the worst home improvements that homeowners can make for a handful of reasons. Most people only recoup about half of the money invested in the home addition at sale time, and even worse: They don’t always add to the total square footage of your home. That said, sunrooms can bring a lot of joy to a house if you’re looking to find a new favorite (and, of course, sunny) nook. Still convinced you want a sunroom? Here’s what you should know about sunroom additions. |

Types of SunroomsTraditional Sunroom Sunrooms come in different designs and functions, but a sunroom is generally considered an additional room attached to the home. They typically have a door between the room and the house. Sunrooms take on different names depending upon their functionality, such as three-season and four-season porches. |
| Four-Season Room
A four-season room, or four-season porch, can be used all year long because it has heating and cooling elements. A four-season room or porch comes with challenges in certain climates. In a colder climate, they can be an energy drain because they have little insulation and require more energy to heat. |

Three-Season Porch
A three-season porch, or three-season room, is used in the spring, summer and fall. It typically doesn’t include heating elements, thus making it unviable during the winter. Greenhouse/Solarium A sunroom with glass walls is a greenhouse or a solarium. These spaces are ideal for |
| those with green thumbs or those in search of a panoramic view of the outdoors.
Screened-In Porch Screen-in porches function as three-season rooms and offer the pleasures of sitting outdoors without the nuisance of bugs. Screened-in porches have a timelessness to them that harkens to days of Chevrolet and apple pie. |
