Adding a sunroom is one of the most rewarding ways to expand your home. It brings natural light, extra space, and a seamless connection to the outdoors — while also boosting property value. Whether you dream of a cozy morning retreat or an elegant family space, understanding what’s involved in a sunroom addition helps you plan smarter and invest better.
Here are 12 essential things to know before adding a sunroom, brought to you by Liangjia, a trusted manufacturer of custom aluminum sunrooms.
Define Your Purpose First
Think about how you plan to use the space — for reading, dining, entertaining, or working. Your purpose will determine the structure, materials, and insulation needed.
Choose Between Three-Season and Four-Season Designs
Three-season sunrooms are perfect for mild climates, while four-season sunrooms are designed for year-round comfort.

Check Local Building Codes
Every region has its own permit rules and safety standards. Always check them before starting construction.
Plan Your Budget Wisely
A sunroom addition typically costs between $20,000–$70,000, depending on size, design, and materials. Include foundation, wiring, and interior finishing in your plan.
Select the Right Frame Material
Aluminum is the most popular choice — strong, rust-proof, and low-maintenance.
Liangjia specializes in custom aluminum sunrooms that combine modern style and durability.
Use Energy-Efficient Glass
Choose double-glazed or Low-E glass to maintain a comfortable temperature and reduce glare.
Ensure Proper Insulation and Ventilation
Insulated walls and roofs keep the room comfortable year-round, while ceiling fans or vents promote airflow.
Match the Style to Your Home
Your sunroom should look like part of your home. Match rooflines, colors, and windows for a seamless appearance.
