Preparing Your Surface

• A solid foundation is necessary when installing a sunroom addition to your home. An open, wooden deck or concrete patio should be sufficient. But before you get started, check your surface to make sure it's solid and even. Repair any cracks, sand down any unlevel areas and leave a clean, clear surface for your sunroom base.
  
  

Sunroom Installation Kits

• Sunroom installation kits can be purchased from a variety of construction and architecture companies which specialize in sunroom installation. A sunroom installation kit should include everything you'll need to install your sunroom: pre-cut windows, screens, pre-drilled doors, nails and fasteners. You should only require simple household tools to complete the job.
  
  Measure your space accurately and thoroughly before you choose your installation kit. Include the fascia and eave dimensions, and thoroughly review the length, width and height you have available. Design options are plentiful, and your choice will depend on how much space you have to work with and what you hope to achieve.
  
  

Straight-Style Sunroom

• Choose a straight-style sunroom if you have limited space and are looking for an elegant, simple enclosure for your patio space. Straight-style sunrooms are classic and suitable for any style of home. Spruce up the design with wooden beams in white, green or natural colors.
  
  

Curved Eave Sunroom

• Choose a curved eave sunroom for a patio that enhances the frame of your home with graceful curves and symmetry. Curved eaves require more space than a straight-style design, but they enhance the room's natural light with curved glass windows on the ceiling and walls. Curved eaves also provide a feel of added dimension.
  
  

Cathedral Sunroom

• Consider a cathedral sunroom if you have additional height space to utilize. Cathedral sunrooms provide striking dimension to your home and maximize natural light with large, glass-windowed, gabled ceilings.
  
  

Conservatory Sunroom

• Install a conservatory sunroom if you have unlimited space and have always dreamed of a crystal-style greenhouse. A conservatory sunroom utilizes multi-angled glass windows to provide a profusion of natural light and the structure is a stunning addition to any home.
