First, consider how the patio room will be used. Inc. To create a breakfast room, exercise room or family room that will be used all year, choose an insulated glass room that can be heated or air-conditioned like any other part of your home. Next, consider your home's architecture. Patio rooms can blend glass with aluminum and wood. They can have gable eaves or sloped style rooflines.
Patio rooms can be multi-level, replace a deck or lead onto one.
There are many design options. Find a manufacturer who will custom design your patio room and give you a computer drawing so that you can see how it will look, fit and blend before it is actually constructed. These companies typically have on-staff designers. Avoid cookie-cutter models. Choose a contractor who guarantees the work.
