Glass windows and doors are the primary components of any sunroom. Sizes, shapes and styles offered by manufacturers are almost without limit, allowing a great deal of creative latitude in design.

Also, rarely should single-paned windows be considered anymore, because of today's energy efficiency standards. With double and sometimes triple paned windows, there is gas between the glass and glazing to limit heat flow across the window.

Fixed windows tend to be less expensive than styles that open, so a smart option is to combine a number of fixed windows with ones that will open. You can also save money on this expensive portion of your sunroom by staying with stock size windows rather than custom creations.
