Arizona Room or Arizona Sunroom Addition

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.

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.

Building Green and Energy Efficient Sunroom Additions


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"

Room Addition in Scottsdale and Phoenix


AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms completed the construction of a new room addition in Scottsdale Arizona. The chalange of this project, as well as of any other project, is to design the new addition in the same style and materials as of the existing house. The result is that the new room addition looks like part of the original house. A new visitor to the house will not be able to tell that it is a new addition. However, even if the new room addition looks like part of the old house its quality is much higher because of the high quality of today's materials and componanats. For example, Today's insulated and low E windows and doors are more energy efficient than an old window or door. Same is tru with wall and ceiling insulation, heating and cooling, electrical wiring, roofing, etc. AZ Enclosures and Sunrooms service the entire Phoenix Valley doing many remodeling projects such as: room additions, sunrooms, patio enclosures, patio roofs, home remodeling.

Cooling/Heating a Sunroom Addition or Room Addition


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.
