For all intents and purposes, a sunroom is a bright and airy room full of windows. It is the getaway around the corner within your own home. Adding a sunroom to your home offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to bring sunshine into your space while controlling the climate and weather within. The attraction of feeling close to nature while being on the comfortable side of a glass wall seems to have universal appeal.
