  3. Sunroom Features: Architectural and Comfort Benefits

A well constructed sunroom includes key structural features that provide strength, durability, and energy efficiency. Learning the names and benefits of each will help you make more educated choices when planning your room and selecting the right contractor to do the job.

Identifying Sunroom Features

Your Champion representative will walk you through all the features of our sunrooms, but you may have questions about parts and pieces of a sunroom when you're looking through material on your own. This handy guide will help you identify different sunroom features.
