Want to add a new dimension to your living space and increase the value of your home in Laie, Hawaii? Just any bolt-on addition won't do. Consider a sunspace. Whether it is a conservatory, a solarium, or a sun room, the addition will provide an outdoor living room you can enjoy year round.

Creating a sun room has lots of the same aspects of building a new home; it is a project with many elements of design and many decisions. Climate controls, glazing options, insulation, heat distribution and thermal mass are just a few of the things to consider. For best results, educate yourself before you begin. There are various durable and efficient kits available. They provide an easy answer at a cheaper cost, but an addition to your home investment is no place to skimp. Of course, we all want the best value for our money so design the best possible sunspace you can afford.

Many people find a sun room can double as or replace a family room. Others have used the space for an office, dining room or to accommodate an in-door pool. In any case, a thoughtfully designed and carefully built sunspace will add esthetic appeal and value to your home. It will give you added living space plus a new perspective on enjoying the outdoors.
