Sunrooms are all about being able to be in touch with the outdoors and yet be able to shield oneself away from the elements and a glass roof takes that to a new level. It saturates the area with natural light, gives one a feeling of openness and allows one to enjoy the sky irrespective of the weather.
A sunroom can be changed entirely with the help of glass roof. The transparent glass windows provide you with uninterrupted views, and the glare can be minimised with the help of tinted or low-E glass, allowing the room to be comfortable all year round. Other homeowners also opt to instal operable skylights so that they can have fresh air during nice days which provides ventilation and atmosphere.
It is a large strength in design flexibility. The frameless systems provide a sleek and minimalistic touch, whereas framed alternatives can be aligned with the house style. The glass roof when combined with timber or metal frames would give you a modern or traditional appearance depending on what you need in your house.
Major features are durability and safety. Laminated or hard glass makes the roof resistant to weather changes and most modern designs have drainage and self cleaning finishes so that there is less maintenance work.
Finally, a glass roof is not a mere utilitarian addition, it is an experience. It transforms a sun room into a sunny and uplifting escape that is more in touch with nature yet offers a feeling of comfort and protection.
