During the winter, your sunroom can still provide a convenient place to get a little sunshine, grow plants, and enjoy a peaceful place to entertain guests. However, since wintertime can also be chilly, you should do what you can to keep your space warm and cozy. Here are three tips for keeping your sunroom comfortable during cold weather.

Wintertime Sunroom Tips

1. Keep Blinds Open During the Day

UV light naturally warms the air, which is why keeping your blinds or sunroom curtains open during the day can help make the space warm and inviting. Keep your blinds, especially those on west-facing windows, open during the day to let light pour into your sunroom. 

2. Consider Additional Heating Sources 

Since older sunrooms can be drafty, consider upgrading your space with an additional heating source, like a ductless HVAC unit. It doesn’t require a complex installation process, making it simple to add a little extra warmth to the space. If you keep plants in your sunroom during the winter, consider adding a humidifier or two to ensure your plants are enjoying the ideal indoor environment for growth. 

3. Upgrade Your Space

If your sunroom tends to be drafty, think about upgrading the entire space. Newer, energy-efficient windows and insulated roofing materials can help trap heat, which can create a more user-friendly space. Internal weeping systems can help to remove humidity from the room, and standing roof seams can protect your enclosure from expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations.
