RG writes from East Haven, Connecticut: "I'm in the final phases of deciding on a type of sun room and interested in knowing about what others have done with flooring and heating in Sun Suites sunrooms that you've installed. What do you think is the best approach? I'm thinking to go w/ electric baseboard heat (hydronic) and wood floors."

Answer: There are several options when it comes to heating/cooling a SunSuites™ sunroom. We, however, don't recommend any particular option. A homeowner is free to choose any option including electric baseboard, under floor heat, heat pumps, heated ceiling fans, spatial heaters, etc. In order for any type of heat to be effective, you need to be very cautious about the materials you choose to contract a sunroom from. Fiberglass is a much stronger, more energy efficient material than any other option currently available. The type of glass that is chosen is also critical when constructing a sunroom. Our LoE cubed glass outperforms all others in the market and will assist in efficiently heating or cooling the room. As far as flooring goes, all options are available. Our SunSuites sunrooms come with a standard sub floor that is similar to that of the house structure. Carpet, tile, hardwood, etc., are all options.
