It is prudent and smart to look for an affordable room addition in today's decline economy. One approach is to convert an existing open patio into an enclosure, using the existing patio roof, posts and header. Of course, such an enclosure must comply with local building codes for a new livable space. Such as, raised and leveled concrete floor and cooling/heating. Cooling/heating can be extended from the existing house system (if it is possible) or a new dedicated unit can be install in the new room addition. The design and percentage of glass in the new addition walls will determine the intended use of the new livable space. A lot of glass will make it a sunroom or an Arizona room. Less glass will make it a bedroom addition, family room addition, office addition or an activity room addition. Our company specializes in the design and construction of room additions, sunroom additions and many types of patio enclosures. In most cases at 30% to 40% less than any modular enclosure, such as four seasons type of a sunrooms. Also, we match the exterior and the interior wall finishing as of the existing house.

Arizona building code requires that any bedroom will have a direct escape access to the outdoors.
Therefor, if a bedroom have only one sliding door that leads directly to the outdoor and have no window, any enclosure or an addition cannot be built behind the door.
Likewise, if the bedroom have only one window and no door, no enclosure or an addition can be built behind the window.
There is only one simple solution to this egress problem. Adding a door or a window to the bedroom that will lead directly to the outdoors.
This egress code is design for safety in mind. In case of a fire, the bedroom's occupants should be able to escape immediately to the outdoors and not force to go through any other room in order to escape.

The most important advantage is that only a licensed contractor can file and obtain a building permit. This alone will assure the homeowner that he is an "good hands" and the construction project will done correctly and will comply with all building codes and local regulation. Of course the homeowner have the option to file the permit as an "owner builder" but than he will not have any protection from the people, usually not licensed, who will do the work for him.

The most frequent question that we get from a homeowner is "how long it takes to obtain the building permit"? The quick answer is: Depends in what Township, City or County the permit will be obtained. Each municipality has its own building department and therefore, the bureaucratic process will vary from place to place.

We also experienced an UN friendly, UN caring and not consumer oriented bureaucrats that prolong the permit process to over 5 weeks or more.

That why it is important to work with an experienced and license contractor, who knows and understand the building permit process in all the municipalities in the state of Arizona.

Arizona Room and Sunroom Addition

Some people refer to Sunroom Addition or to Patio Enclosure as an Arizona Room. Arizona Room is any additional space usually with a lot of glass area. Usually its function is as a recreational room or an addition to an existing family room.

Arizona Room or Arizona Sunroom Addition

2010-04-05T14:17:00.000-07:00

Many people refers to a Patio Enclosure with a lot of windows as an "Arizona Room". Arizona Room and/or Sunroom Addition can be any living space that is not used a a bedroom or as a kitchen. Most of the patio Enclosures and Sunroom Additions, in Arizona are being used a recreational space or as an extention to the family room or the living room. One of the frequent question is should the Arizona Room will have a glass roof. A glass roof is not advisable in the Southwest climate. However, it should be under consideration in the Northeast part of the US.

Many years ago, a modular sunroom ( made from glass, aluminum and plastic) was popular and relatively less costly than a standard construction. However, in today's economy the Modular Sunrooms are very expensive and also, many of the home owners Associations, will not permit the use of the modular system. The main objection is that the modular sunroom system is not consistante with most of the Arizona housing styles.

Building Green and Energy Efficient Sunroom Additions

2010-03-08T10:52:00.000-08:00

Regardless of your belief level on "Global warming" or "Climate Change" you always should consider to incorporate few "Green Construction" techniques and materials in any construction project at your home or business. Note that I recommend few and not everything that is available in the marketplace. Why do I recommend few and not everything? because what ever you select should pass the "does it make sense?" and what is the "return on investment" tests.

Window and door glass insulation should always be at the minimum of double insulated glass wit a low E coating. Most of the window manufacturers provides several options for total insulation value. Check with your contractor or with the manufacturer for available options.

Remember that energy gain or loss passes through materials with the least resistance. Therefor, in a room addition or in sun room addition with a large glass area it will make more sense to invest in a good insulated glass. Do not go overboard in wall and ceiling insulation because their level of resistance is much higher than any glass resistance. In this example, the good insulated glass will give you a better "return on investment" than the wall insulation. Our common sense tests should be applied to any type of construction project. Such as, room addition, sun room addition, patio enclosure and most of the home remodeling projects. Feel free to contact AZ Enclosures and Sun rooms, a division of S and S builders, regarding "green building and "green construction"

Cooling/Heating a Sunroom Addition or Room Addition

2010-01-19T13:55:00.000-08:00

Cooling and heating a sunroom addition is a subject that many homeowners and some contractors are straggling with and have no clear understanding of what should be done.
Most homeowners are under the impression that adding additional ducts to the existing house system will be sufficient enough to cool and heat the new sunroom addition. The reality is that in most cases the existing house cooling/heating unit was not designed for the sunroom addition. it was designed only for the original house only. The efficiency of any cooling/heating system depends not only of the blower size but also on the ducts configuration. Such as size, length and the number and location of the registers and the air returns.
In most cases an existing cooling/heating system will not be able to handle an additional space, especially a sunroom addition.
It is highly recommended that a new cooling/heating unit will be installed as a dedicated unit to the addition with its own thermostat.
There are several options to consider. For small sunrooms with an average size of glass area an in-wall unit might be sufficient. However, as the sunroom addition becomes larger and larger with a large size of glass area, a heat pump or mini split units will be a better choice.
That why it is vital important to select a highly qualified contractor who has the knowledge and experience in selecting the right cooling/heating system for the new sunroom addition.
AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms are most qualified contractors in the design and construction of sunroom additions as well as any room addition. Their customers can attest to it.

For most homeowners it is not the right time now to move to a newer house as part of upgrading to additional home living features.

Room Addition or Sunroom Patio Enclosure?

2009-06-04T10:38:00.000-07:00

What are the differences between a room addition and sunroom or patio enclosure?The simple answer is “not much”. Usually, people refer to an addition with a lot of windows and full view glass doors as a sunroom or a patio enclosure. Especially, if it is being used as a recreational space and not as a living space. Most people call a bedroom addition if a room addition is being used as a bedroom. As you can tell it is in all in the “eye of the beholder”. So do not be concern with definitions. Just let your contractor design you the right space for needs and lifestyle. Any qualified contractor can provide you with the right design and obtain the required building permit. It will also be a good idea to see pictures of various type of additions and sunroom enclosures.

Two of the popular patio roof covers are insulated roof for total shading and lattice roof for partial shading. The insulated roof can be attached to the house wall and supported by an aluminum header beam and posts. The lattice roof cover is made from aluminum tubes and the amount of shading can be determine by the open space between the tubes.

Sunroom Addition in Chandler, Az

2008-07-28T21:24:00.000-07:00

We converted an existing covered patio into a larger livable sunroom enclosure. The HOA requested that the addition will have the same style and colors as of the existing house. Also, they requested that the new addition roof will have the same roof tiles as of the house roof. We also tried to build this addition with as many “green” construction features within the HOA limitation. The “Green” features in this addition are:
We used light gauge steel and DenseGlass exterior sheathings
Door and windows are insulated with low “E” coating and argon gas.
We installed a high efficiency heat pump for heating and cooling.

Using Light Gauge Steel Framing for Sunroom Enclosures

2008-07-20T16:23:00.000-07:00

Light gauge steel studs can be used in framing any sunroom enclosure as well as patio roof covers. Light gauge steel is a “Green” material because 60% of it comes from recycle automobiles. Although steel cost more than wood it is more durable and provides many benefits such as: always straight, no twisting or splitting, none combustible, termites cannot eat it, stronger than wood, allows for accurate framing details. Also, the wood exterior sheathings can be replaced with cement board or with commercial exterior sheathings such as GP DensGlass Gold Gypsum sheathing.

HOA Requirement for Patio Enclosure

2008-07-12T13:38:00.000-07:00

Many of the HOA (Home Owners Association) have very strict requirements and demands that the home owner must comply with in order to obtain the HOA approval to convert an open patio into a sunroom enclosure. For the last 30 years most of the HOA approved the modular type of sunroom enclosures even if the sunroom color did not match the house exterior color. However, lately more and more HOA will not approve the modular type claiming that it is not a perfect match to the existing house design and exterior finishing. The homeowner should know that an existing patio can be converted into a sunroom enclosure by utilizing conventional (not modular) construction techniques that allow us to perfectly match the exterior design and finishing of the existing house. Look at the “before” and “after” photos of two sunroom enclosures. In most cases a conventional built sunroom enclosure will cost the same or less than a modular type sunroom enclosure. Check with your HOA about their requirements before signing a contract or at least, make sure to insert "this contract is subject to the HOA approval" in your contract.

Patio Roof Covers in Phoenix Az

2008-07-09T20:50:00.000-07:00

Patio roof covers provides protection from the elements such as sun and rain. A popular patio roof cover in Arizona is the Aluminum (known as Alumawood) lattice roof cover. A standard lattice roof cover provides 50% shading but no protection from the rain. For a total protection from the sun and the rain a solid patio roof must be used. Solid roofs comes in several types and of course some are more expensive that the others. A popular solid patio roof cover is the insulated roof panels (known as IRP). Other types are aluminum flat pan roofs and the conventional wood framing patio roof. In the last few years a louvered patio roof cover was introduced to the Phoenix are. This type allows the homeowner to operate the roof's louvers from a full opening position (no protection at all) to a fully closed position (providing full protection) from the elements. I personally, like to combine at least two types of roof covers for large patios. See the photo here (at the top right of this page) of a combination of IRP roof and lattice roof in one large patio. The bottom photo on is of the rough carpentry stage of a conventional wood framing.

Sunroom Enclosure in Sun City Arizona

2008-07-01T21:51:00.000-07:00

A new sunroom enclosure provided a new and updated look to an older home in Sun City, Arizona. The new sunroom addition was part of a face lift plan that also included new landscaping work as well as interior remodeling. The homeowner selected a modular sunroom enclosure for the additional living space. The HOA approved the design and the exterior white color which compliment the existing house. Part of the new exterior design was the new patio roof coverts on both sides of the sunroom addition which increases the use of the backyard. The owners, Judith and Noel decorated the new sunroom addition into a warm and inviting living space. This new living space has an insulated roof, insulated walls and insulated windows with low “e” coating. It is cooled by a small air conditioning unit that was installed in the side wall.

Using Sliding Doors for Patio Enclosure

2008-06-30T15:35:00.000-07:00

Do you want to enclose your open patio under an existing roof? Do you want to have maximum amount of glass? Consider to do it with sliding glass doors. In some cases we use standard, “of the shelf” doors. However, for best result we recommend to use custom doors and custom windows. Just remember that all open patios have a sloped concrete floor at a ground level. It is important to have a level concrete floor and at list 3’ to 4’ above the ground level for any patio enclosure or sunroom. To achieve a level floor at the proper height we pour new concrete over the existing concrete floor. This type of design and construction can be used for room additions, patio enclosures and sunrooms. Each type can be cooled or heated efficiently as long as we use high quality of insulated glass and size up the air conditioning and heating unit properly.

How Much glass should a Sunroom have?

2008-06-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

By definition a sunroom is a room with mostly glass walls and some times with glass roof. How can we determine how much of glass in the walls and should you consider a glass roof? The answer depends on some factors that need to be examining carefully.
Geographical Location and climate conditions. Most sunrooms in the North and Northeast have glass roof and almost 100% of glass walls. In such a cold climate the sunroom will allow a solar heat gain. However, in the South and southwest we try to reduce the heat gain by reducing the glass area and by providing some shading.
View consideration: In hot climates, glass walls or glass roof are used only to take advantage of the view. No reason to install glass and increase heat gain, in areas with no special view. In cold climates you want to have glass for heat gain even if view is not important. Just remember, more glass will result in more heat gain and less glass will result in less heat gain.
Heating and Cooling: We install many sunrooms in the Phoenix Valley, known as the “Valley of the Sun” where view is the number one consideration for having a sunroom. Properly designed with proper orientation and shading can have a sunroom that is comfortable livable even in the hot Arizona summers with temperatures above 100. It is important to size up the heating and cooling system correctly by paying attention to the heat loss and gain calculations. In wall cooling unit is effective in small patio enclosures and sunrooms. However, heat pump unit should be used in large patio enclosures and in most sunrooms that have a lot of glass.

Patio enclosure under existing roof in Scottsdale

2008-06-25T21:36:00.000-07:00

Any patio with an existing roof can be converted into a patio enclosure. Most customers would like to have as much glass as possible in the rear wall and it can be done by using custom made windows to fit the available opening. It is also recommanded to to have the same type of exterior finishing as of the exterior of the house. In this job we used the same vertical wood siding that the existing house have.

The interior can be finished with many types of materials. In this job we used the same wood siding as of the exterior. Also, by using insulated windows with Low "E" glass, it is easy to cool the space with a relative small air conditioning unit that is installed in the side wall.

All Glass Sunroom

2008-06-22T18:02:00.001-07:00

All glass sunrooms have maximum amount of glass in the vertical walls and a glass roof. of course, all glass used are tempered for maximum safety. A popular glass roof is the "curved roof". However, all glass sunrooms can also have a flat glass roof. It is recommended to shade the glass roof in an areas like the Phoenix Valley area. Also it is recommended to have the sunroom face the North and not the South.

Here is a sunroom with all glass flat roof. Note the slope of the roof. The larger the slope the less chances of developing roof leak in the future. The glass roof is made from tempered glass. It comes with insulated low "E" glass and can also be ordered with a regular clear single glass. Sunrooms can be cooled by a regular air conditioning unit or by a mini split heat and cooling system. It is important to size up the HVAC system correctly by taking an an account of the large size of glass and the orientation of the structure

This sunroom enclosure was added to an existing patio in order to achieve a large recreational space. It was erected in one day by a 3 men installation crew. Note the air conditioning wall unit on the side wall and left of the sliding glass door.

Convert Open Patio into Sunroom

2008-06-22T14:43:00.000-07:00

You can convert your existing patio, with roof or without, into a beautiful sunroom enclosure. There are basically two types of sunroom enclosures to consider. The modular type which is a factory made sections that will be fitted and installed at the job location. The second type is a custom built that offers almost unlimited option in design, materials and finishing. Both cost just about the same and in some cases the custom built might cost less.
So how would you know what type to have? One way is to check this Blog often and read my future articles about enclosures and sunrooms. I am going to display photos of actual sunroom enclosures with related comments.
The final decision of the type of enclosure might be made by your HOA. Several of the new communities in the Phoenix Valley will not allow any of the modular sunroom enclosure and will only approve a custom built enclosure that will look like the house. Not only the same exterior colors but also the same exterior finishing.
