A beautiful addition to your home...inside and out Sun-Porch or ShadePorch makes a beautiful addition to any style home. Our modular design ensures a perfect fit. In fact, many of our owners say the addition looks so beautiful, friends and neighbors were convinced it was custom designed.

Air circulation and the efficient venting of warm and stale air is a critical component of the SunPorch’s overall design.

Air circulation is the key to comfortProper air circulation, particularly during the warm summer months, is essential to your comfort in any outdoor room. That’s why we designed Roof Vents right into our standard SunPorch kit. During the warmer months these vents help to draw cool, fresh air in through the Easy-Slide windows. As the air warms and rises naturally it is continuously vented through the roof keeping you cool and comfortable.

Weather tight & insect screenedWe include one Roof Vent for every 3' roof bay to optimize air

circulation and the ventilation of warm air. Each vent is 1' square, fully screened and thoroughly and permanently weather sealed. Each vent is installed in a pre-cut factory opening one foot from the top ridge of the SunPorch.

“We are thoroughly enjoying our new ShadePorch! We enjoy watching the birds at the feeders, the traffic go by, reading in the warm sun and eating in the outdoor atmosphere. We entertain guests with full meals or maybe just wine and a snack. It has been and is a great addition to our home.

I would also like to comment on the relative ease with which the project went together. Our family is pretty handy and we were able to complete the project in about three weekends or so. We found it did help to lay out the parts and identify them before each phase of construction.
