- What is the average cost of a Sunroom?
Each room is custom made from the roof down
including the size of windows and amount of doors.
We must view the area where the proposed room is
going and confirm sizes, windows, doors and confirm
whether it is a Gable Roof or Studio style. We can
say that a 10' (d) by 12' (w) by 8' (h) in either
Glass or
Vinyl 4 track window system, cash and carry would be around
$15,500. FOB our shop in Edmonton. All our
rooms are Custom Made to an 1/8", the above is an
example of pricing only.
- Do you cover Hot
Tubs?
Yes with our 100% Canadian Made

- Can I attach to a Park Model, Trailer or mobile
home?
Yes. Our patio enclosure requires
permanent wood headers and verticals for support to
the wall where it is mounted. If your home can accommodate
this type of construction, then it is possible to
attach a Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure.
- Can the Sunroom be taken down and moved?
Your Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure
was designed to fit your home and sized to your specific
location. Once installed it is suggested the unit
should remain in place as a permanent addition to
your home. Our repeat customers find it more convenient
to size and order a new Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure
when they move.
- Can I change the size of the patio
enclosure after it has been installed?
Practically yes, sensibly no.
The width of your sun room is fixed and cannot be
changed. It is possible to increase the length, but
the process is expensive and requires extra labor.
Adding-on later incurs additional shipping fees and
requires disassembly of the unit. It is best to plan
ahead and budget for the larger size.
- How long does it take for delivery
and can I reserve it for a later date?
Generally speaking, most orders
are manufactured and shipped within 4-6 weeks upon
receipt of down payment. It is suggested to plan your
schedule as early as possible. For fall and winter
normally 2 to 3 months are required from deposit to
completion, spring and summer months could add up
to a 2 month delay.
- In selecting any sunroom, how can I
be sure I am getting the best value for my money?
First, you need to determine your
needs and budget. If you desire a sunroom addition
that is outdoor recreational space, the Sunrooms Etc.
patio enclosure is an outstanding Canadian value.
- What size are the Patio Enclosures?
The beauty of our patio enclosure
is that it is custom built to fit your home and dreams
to 1/8" . Most importantly, we are Canadian Made.
- Does a skylight create more light?
A sky light adds to the beauty
and enjoyment of your patio enclosure by allowing
additional sunlight into key areas. A properly installed
sky light will put the light were you want it. Keep
in mind, a sunroom is primary windows and a lot of
light will be let into the room already and we
recommend you wait one summer before adding skylight
into your roof.
- Can you provide a cost per square
foot?
Prices vary according to your
dreams since square footage is not the only determining
factor in the cost of your Sunroom. Please contact
us for more information.
- What is the warranty on Sunspace
Sunrooms?
Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure
comes with a minimum 10 year warranty on most
products manufactured by Sunspace Sunrooms.
- How will my Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure
stand up to severe weather?
The Sunrooms Etc. patio enclosure
is extremely strong and durable and heavy snow falls
are no problem for the roof. Our roof will hold 40
pounds per square foot minimally. For more specific
details, please feel free to contact
us.
- How long will it take to build my
Patio Enclosure?
There are several things involved;
obtaining a permit, scheduling of your room to be
built, crew availability, and weather conditions.
Once all the preparation work is done, your Sunrooms
Etc. sunroom may be installed in 2 or 4 days.
- Do I need a building permit?
We always recommend obtaining a building
permit, this protects you knowing the construction of the sunroom will be passed by a Building Inspector and approved for its location on your property. For your peace of mind, do not accept anyone
who says you do not require one. If you were to try
to sell your home with a sunroom attached for which
a permit was not obtained, there is a good chance that
it would have to be removed in order for the title
to be transferred due to it not complying with the Building Codes at the time of new application.
- Why should I choose a sunroom over
a standard room addition?
Each type of room has its own
specific purpose and you should first determine how
you want to use your space. A standard room addition
(studs, drywall, standard roof, windows, and integrated
permanent heating/cooling systems) is designed to
meet certain codes as a year-round, permanent living
space, like a kitchen or a bedroom.
A patio enclosure is designed as an additional room
on your house that protects you from weather and insects
during the times you would want to be outdoors. It
offers incredible flexibility to enjoy many activities,
such as soaking in a spa, entertaining, exercising,
working, relaxing and so much more. It is designed
with wall-to-wall windows that provide panoramic views
and protection from wind and weather. Screen systems
control insects and allow refreshing breezes.
