Sunrooms, as a unique extension of modern home life, attract countless people who pursue nature and comfortable living with their unique charm.

However, while enjoying the natural beauty, sunrooms also face the challenge of cold winters and hot summers. So, how to achieve a warm winter and cool summer effect while ensuring the beauty and practicality of the sunroom?

The design essence of a sunroom that is warm in winter and cool in summer

1. Selection of materials and structures

Glass material: Low-E insulated tempered glass is an ideal choice for sun rooms. This type of glass not only has excellent transparency, but also effectively blocks ultraviolet rays and high temperatures, reducing the accumulation of indoor heat. At the same time, the hollow design enhances the insulation performance of the glass, allowing the sunroom to fully absorb sunlight in winter and maintain indoor temperature.

Frame material: Thermal break aluminum profiles have become the preferred choice for sunroom frames due to their excellent thermal insulation performance. The broken bridge aluminum profile effectively blocks the path of heat transfer through the broken bridge technology, reducing the entry of heat into the sunroom in summer and keeping the indoor cool.

Structural design: The structural design of the sunroom should fully consider the needs of ventilation and shading. Opening a skylight at the top and side windows on the sides can promote air circulation and accelerate the rise and discharge of hot air. At the same time, shading facilities such as sunshades, sunshade curtains, and insulation films can flexibly adjust the shading method according to the angle and intensity of sunlight exposure, achieving the best shading effect.

2. Sunshade and insulation measures

Sunshade curtains: Sunshade curtains are important tools for sunshade and insulation in sunrooms. They can choose manual or electric mode according to the angle and intensity of sunlight exposure, flexibly adjust the shading area and height, effectively isolate direct sunlight, and reduce indoor temperature.

Thermal insulation film: Applying a layer of thermal insulation film on the glass of the sunroom can reflect some sunlight and lower the indoor temperature. At the same time, the insulation film can effectively block ultraviolet rays, protecting indoor furniture and decorations from damage.

Plant shading: Planting large trees or climbing plants such as ivy and ivy outside the sunroom can not only provide natural shading effect for the sunroom, but also beautify the environment and add vitality.

3. Ventilation design

Skylight and side windows: The skylight and side windows of a sunroom are crucial for ventilation. In summer, when the skylight and side windows are opened simultaneously, convective winds can be formed, accelerating air circulation and reducing indoor temperature. In winter, some side windows can be closed appropriately to reduce heat loss and maintain indoor temperature.

Fresh air system: For sunrooms with large areas or poor ventilation conditions, installing a fresh air system can be considered. The fresh air system can introduce fresh outdoor air into the room through pipes, while discharging polluted indoor air, achieving the circulation and renewal of indoor air.

Cleaning and maintenance of sunrooms

1. Glass cleaning

Cleaning tool: Use a soft cloth or sponge, combined with a neutral cleaner, to gently wipe the surface of the glass. Avoid using hard objects or cleaning agents containing abrasive particles to avoid scratching the glass.

Cleaning steps: Wipe the glass surface in order from top to bottom and left to right, ensuring that every corner is wiped clean. At the same time, pay attention to checking whether there are stains or scale on the edges of the glass and clean them in a timely manner.

Cleaning frequency: Regularly clean the glass according to the frequency of use and pollution level of the sunroom. It is generally recommended to clean the glass once every quarter to maintain its smoothness and transparency.

2. Framework maintenance

Cleaning and inspection: Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface of the frame to remove dust and dirt. At the same time, check whether the frame connection parts are loose or rusted, and tighten the screws or perform rust prevention treatment in a timely manner.

Lubrication and maintenance: For the tracks and pulleys of sliding doors or windows, regularly apply lubricating oil or grease to keep them running smoothly. At the same time, check whether the track and pulley are worn or damaged, and replace or repair them in a timely manner.

4. Maintenance of sunshade facilities

Sunshade curtains : Regularly check whether the tracks and pulleys of the sunshade curtains

 are running smoothly, and clean up dust and debris in a timely manner. At the same time, check whether the fabric of the sunshade curtain is damaged or detached, and replace or repair it in a timely manner.

Insulation film: Regularly inspect the insulation film for bubbles, detachment, or aging. If found, replace the insulation film with a new one in a timely manner to maintain its sun shading and insulation effect.

5. Drainage system inspection

Drainage outlet and drainage pipeline: Regularly check whether the drainage outlet and drainage pipeline of the sunroom are blocked or damaged. If any blockage is found, clean it up in a timely manner; If any damage is found, replace or repair it promptly.

Roof and Wall Inspection: Regularly inspect the roof and walls of the sunroom for any leaks. If any leakage is found, promptly identify the cause of the leakage and carry out repair and treatment.

6. Daily maintenance

Regular inspection: Regularly inspect and maintain all components of the sunroom to ensure its normal operation and safety.

Avoid heavy object impact: Avoid placing heavy objects or engaging in vigorous activities in the sunroom to prevent damage to the structure and components of the sunroom.

Maintain ventilation: Maintain appropriate ventilation conditions in the sunroom to reduce indoor humidity and odors.

In summary, through reasonable material selection, design, and maintenance, sunrooms can not only achieve warmth in winter and coolness in summer, but also combine aesthetics and practicality. Let's enjoy the year-round comfort brought by the sunroom together!
