Comparing 3 Different Types of Sunspaces

So you know you want an opportunity to let more sunlight into your home, but you’re not sure how you want to go about it. There are plenty of options, from porch enclosures to screen rooms or all-season sunrooms. These are not interchangeable. They all have their own benefits and differences, and it’s good to know which one is most in line with what you want before you make a decision. Here are some of the different types of sunspaces you might come across:

Porch Enclosure

If you don’t want to go through the full installation of new room addition, then a porch enclosure could be for you. A porch enclosure essentially makes a sunroom out of the space that you already have.
