It’ll allow you to enjoy the beautiful outdoors while protecting you from extreme heat and humidity. That protection typically comes from the windows, so what are the best windows for sunrooms?

Best Windows for Sunrooms

Since sunrooms are made up of almost entirely windows, it’s important to choose the right window material. All of the windows we offer at Tropicana will withstand wind and rain with minimal maintenance. However, each type of window has pros and cons that you should understand before making a decision. The window type you choose will affect the project’s cost, the finished room’s livability, and your home’s energy efficiency.

We offer the following sunroom window types:  

1. Glass Windows

Glass is the traditional choice for sunroom windows. Working with glass is a little more complicated than other materials, which can make glass-windowed sunrooms a pricier option. However, glass may be your preferred material for several reasons.

Why Choose Glass Windows?

If you opt for glass windows, your sunroom will be a truly livable part of your home. In addition, glass windows are the most energy-efficient option, which can help you save on your home heating and cooling costs. Those looking for the most energy-efficient windows for their sunrooms should choose glass.

2. Acrylic Windows

Some homeowners find that the best windows for sunrooms are acrylic. As a type of hard, clear plastic, acrylic is a more affordable option than traditional glass. It’s lightweight and durable but not as energy efficient as glass.

Why Choose Acrylic Windows?

Acrylic windows will help you keep your porch clean and guarded from the elements. But these windows will not make your porch a livable room, so you can save on paying property taxes for it.

3. Soft Vinyl Windows

Soft vinyl windows for sunrooms are the most affordable option and a desirable alternative to acrylic or glass. Soft vinyl is a flexible but strong material with an unbeatable price point. Of course, if you’re looking to make your sunroom a fully livable space, you’ll want glass windows. Otherwise, choosing soft vinyl is a great way to reduce the cost of your sunroom.

Why Choose Soft Vinyl Windows?

Homeowners appreciate vinyl’s easy maintenance and overall affordability. Soft vinyl windows will make your sunroom cozier, while withstanding the elements and keeping out bugs.
