Sunrooms vs. Screen Rooms: Which One is Right for You?

What is a Sunroom?

A sunroom is a fully enclosed, insulated room with large windows that let in tons of natural light. It’s often climate-controlled and designed to be used year-round—rain or shine.

Key Benefits:

• Fully enclosed and protected from the elements

• Can be heated or cooled for year-round use

• Adds more functional interior square footage

• Ideal for home offices, reading nooks, or indoor gardens

  
  

Best for:

Homeowners who want to expand their indoor living space while still enjoying outdoor views in comfort, no matter the season.

What is a Screen Room?

A screen room is a covered space enclosed with mesh screening instead of glass. It provides protection from insects, leaves, and light rain while allowing fresh air to flow freely.

Key Benefits:

• Excellent airflow and ventilation

• More affordable than a sunroom

• Easier to install

• Great for seasonal use (spring to fall)

  
  

Best for:

Homeowners who want a breezy, open-air environment for entertaining, relaxing, or dining—without the bugs.

Which One is Right for You?

Ask yourself:

• Do you want to use the space in the colder months or only in warmer weather?

• Do you need it to function like another indoor room or more like a breezy patio?

• What’s your budget for the project?

• Do you plan to entertain often or just want a quiet space to relax?
