Many people are confused as to the difference between conservatories and sunrooms. When exploring backyard living ideas, one must decide the purpose of the new backyard structure. Both are primarily types of glass home extensions. The sunroom is a multipurpose room with a solid roof that provides protection from the hottest sun, while a conservatory is constructed as a mostly glass addition, and is often used as a greenhouse. Modern conservatories use a polycarbonate based panel in the roof to help shield against direct uv rays, but still allow enough light to grow even the most sunlight demanding foliage. Whatever type addition you choose, consulting with a conservatory or sunroom design specialist can help you plan the perfect home addition that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.
