Find answers to common questions about sunrooms from Western Products and Temo Sunrooms.

What is a sunroom? A TEMO sunroom is a quality manufactured addition to your house that provides extended use of an outdoor recreational space.

Why should I choose a sunroom over a standard room addition? A sunroom is designed as an additional room to increase your flexibility to spend time doing outdoor activities and offers protection from weather and insects. There are various options in TEMO sunroom wall system options that will provide maximum thermal protection against cold and heat – increasing your comfort and extending your sunroom use.

Sunrooms can also be installed at a fraction of the cost and time – they may be installed in just one to two days, compared to the weeks or months required of a standard addition. Sunrooms may also be subject to a significantly lower tax assessment compared to additional square footage of a standard room addition (check with your local tax authority for specific regulations).

Can I use a spa in my TEMO sunroom? A Sundance spa is a perfect way to increase the enjoyment of your sunroom. It is best to install your spa at the original installation of the sunroom. You will also want to consider the electrical needs for the spa during sunroom installation.
