The twin wall polycarbonate roof is lightweight, durable…and strong
Watch A Branch Fall!
www.sunporch.com
Supports heavy snow loads
Impact resistant
The roof is 200X stronger and only 1/8th the weight of glass!
Roof Vents…SunPorch’s natural exhaust system
You’ll never have to worry about wind, rain, snow, hail or falling branches. Along with its super strength, our roof glazing is also incredibly light weight. That’s why our seamless, leak-resistant, 3' wide sections up to 15' long are easy to lift...easy to install...and keep SunPorch light enough to mount on your existing deck or patio.
Beautiful light and 100% UV protection The roof glazing delivers 100% protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays without annoying glare or uncomfortable hot spots.
Guaranteed for 10 years The roof is designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sun, rain, wind and snow and covered by a 10 year warranty against yellowing and discoloration. Our roof is strong, light weight, energy efficient, durable and long lasting.
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!”
“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. / ÃÕ Ì Õ«oÜi Ûi Ì i iÜ >`` Ì ° / > Þ Õ v À Þ ÕÀ i « > ` Þ Õ >Þ µÕ Ìi i > `É À ÕÃi ÕÀ « VÌÕÀiÃ Ì v À other about your great product.” p L °] 9
