I get many inquires and have toured many homes and sat with the owners to discuss this very subject.
A four-season sunroom allows you to enjoy natural light and outdoor views regardless of Ontario’s weather. For a sunroom that stays comfortable in both summer and winter, consider installing energy-efficient double-paned windows to regulate the temperature. Windows with low-E glass coatings are ideal, as they reduce heat loss in the winter and block UV rays in the summer.
You’ll also want to choose materials that can handle temperature fluctuations; vinyl and composite are excellent choices as they are durable and resist warping or cracking.
For year-round comfort, don’t skip insulation.
Insulate the walls, ceiling, and floor to keep the space cozy in winter. Adding radiant underfloor heating or a mini-split HVAC system can provide extra warmth in colder months, and the mini-split system also offers cooling during hot summers.
Finally, think about flooring—tile, luxury vinyl, or even stone are great options, as they work well with radiant heating and are easy to maintain.
