What You Should Know When Shopping for a Patio Room
When choosing a patio room you want it to enhance your home's existing architecture and enjoy a lifetime of easy maintenance and trouble-free operation. A patio room is an extension of your home and a treasured family space. A patio room designed to operate as a system provides years of worry-free enjoyment. You should also look for these features to be sure you are getting a quality room.
- Ease of operation. Windows and doors should be designed to operate effortlessly for the life of the room
- Structurally supportive frame with I-beam construction
- 4" walls and ceilings will add to the strength and durability of the room
- All-season rooms should have insulated ENERGY STAR® rated window units
- Easy maintenance including baked enamel finishes so painting is unnecessary
- Interlocking sashes on windows and doors for added security and less air infiltration
- Warranty on materials and labor
- Design flexibility (so it appears as an extension of your home, not a cookie-cutter room)
- Stainless steel wheels on the windows and doors (rust-free for ease of performance)
- Easy-to-maintain threshold (recessed tracks attract dirt and debris and can inhibit smooth performance)
- Make sure the room can be designed to suit YOUR needs
- Insulated glass option on 3 season styles
