2014 SunPorch Product Guide
Enjoy your outdoors even more in rainy, chilly and buggy weather Adding a SunPorch or ShadePorch to your home will give you more outdoor enjoyment than you ever dreamed possible. When it’s warm, the screenroom becomes a cool, breezy retreat. Then, as the weather turns cooler, you’ll extend your outdoor enjoyment by converting the SunPorch to a cozy and protected sunroom that uses energy from the sun to keep warm in winter.
Your family’s special room in every season No more running inside when it rains or the weather turns cooler. No more swatting mosquitoes on a summer evening. Plus, you’ll never have to put your patio furniture away again.
A beautiful addition to your home...inside and out
Choose SunPorch for maximum natural daylight and solar heat gain SunPorch’s light-transmitting roof is designed to maximize the flow of natural daylight into your SunPorch. This also serves to keep adjoining rooms much brighter.
SunPorch or ShadePorch makes a beautiful addition to any style home. Our modular design ensures a perfect fit. In fact, many of our owners say the addition looks so beautiful, friends and neighbors were convinced it was custom designed.
Both the SunPorch and ShadePorch can help heat your home and save energy During cooler months direct sunshine will heat the sunroom, typically raising its temperature up to 50˚F or more above the outdoors. Even on days with little direct sun it will generally be 10˚ to 20˚F warmer than outside. This heat gain can be used to help warm your home and reduce your heating costs. Plus, SunPorch and ShadePorch provide added insulation to the outside wall of your home.
2014 SunPorch Product Guide

Air circulation and the efficient venting of warm and stale air is a critical component of the SunPorch’s overall design. Air circulation is the key to comfort Proper air circulation, particularly during the warm summer months, is essential to your comfort in any outdoor room. That’s why we designed Roof Vents right into our standard SunPorch kit. During the warmer months these vents help to draw cool, fresh air in through the Easy-Slide windows. As the air warms and rises naturally it is continuously vented through the roof keeping you cool and comfortable. Weather tight & insect screened We include one Roof Vent for every 3' roof bay to optimize air circulation and the ventilation of warm air. Each vent is 1' square, fully screened and thoroughly and permanently weather sealed. Each vent is installed in a pre-cut factory opening one foot from the top ridge of the SunPorch.

“We did it! To sum it up…we love the new addition!”
After “ We are thoroughly enjoying our new ShadePorch! We enjoy watching the birds at the feeders, the traffic go by, reading in the warm sun and eating in the outdoor atmosphere. We entertain guests with full meals or maybe just wine and a snack. It has been and is a great addition to our home. I would also like to comment on the relative ease with which the project went together. Our family is pretty handy and we were able to complete the project in about three weekends or so. We found it did help to lay out the parts and identify them before each phase of construction. To sum it up…we love the new addition. Thank you for your help and you may quote me and/or use our pictures to inform other about your great product.” — Bob M., NY
