New York Backyard Enclosure Company's are Getting Greener

I'm getting more and more emails telling me about how New York home improvement companies are using more environmentally friendly materials and methods of shipping. I just received an email from our New York backyard enclosure manufacturer telling us of a more eco-friendly shipping method that they will be using from now on. They no longer ship on wooden pallets, which use up trees, but will now use a more environmentally sound copolymer polypropylene. These new devices are reusable and compeltely recyclable. They also weigh just 2 lbs per pair, so when your NY sunroom gets shipped there will be a savings in fuel consumption, further reducing emissions and taxing of resources.

The Hudson Valley home improvment community has always been interested in protecting our environment. We are always searching for better, lighter, recyclable materials that can bring you the finest Westchester County sunrooms, conservatories, and solariums, while preserving our earth for countless generations to come.

Home Improvements can save you money

With the rising cost of gasoline on everyones mind these days, spending money on a home addition makes more and more sense. Home improvement projects like sun rooms, solariums, conservatories, and greenhouses make for a great investment in your most valuable posession, your home. Why spend money on travel when you can add light, space and value to your dwelling? Backyard living has never been more popular. People are spending more time than ever at home. Here, in upstate New York, we have a problem with lymes disease. Screened in patio enclosures protect your family from nasty bugs while giving you all the pleasures of being outdoors. Thre has never been a better time to consider a beautiful, luxurious, affordable sunroom or conservatory addition.

Conservatory Elegance

Many people are confused as to the difference between conservatories and sunrooms. When exploring backyard living ideas, one must decide the purpose of the new backyard structure. Both are primarily types of glass home extensions. The sunroom is a multipurpose room with a solid roof that provides protection from the hottest sun, while a conservatory is constructed as a mostly glass addition, and is often used as a greenhouse. Modern conservatories use a polycarbonate based panel in the roof to help shield against direct uv rays, but still allow enough light to grow even the most sunlight demanding foliage. Whatever type addition you choose, consulting with a conservatory or sunroom design specialist can help you plan the perfect home addition that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

Sunrooms and Backyard Living

Looking out at the pond outside my house I am reminded of the abundance of mosquitoes here in the Hudson Valley during the summer months. They have to be the most annoying creature on the planet. They seem to love ruining a good time outdoors, and, are carriers of, who knows how many diseases? I guess there's a reason they call them bugs. So, how can you avoid bugs and still enjoy backyard living? Well, one very practical and affordable solution is to have a sunroom built.

Damary Kiefer, of Vinyl Tech Inc., a company located in the beautiful Hudson Valley region of New York, that specializes in sunrooms and conservatories, says, "You can enjoy your property so much more because you have that magnificent view of your yard. You don't have to worry about bugs. Homeowners want a place where they can be connected with the outdoors without having to actually be outside. The rooms are, in essence, home additions. They're utile, affordable, and constantly add extra value and enjoyment to your home."

Sunrooms and backyard enclosures can definitely add great benefits to your lifestyle. Sunrooms are a wonderful way to merge indoor and outdoor living. In areas like ours, with drastic temperature ranges, consider adding a small heating/air conditioning unit, which is independent of your main HVAC system, so that you can enjoy your new sunroom year-round."
Ms. Kiefer goes on to say, “ We’ve had customers who’ve opted to add a solarium rather than buy a timeshare in Florida because of the year round pleasure that it offers. Why travel elsewhere to escape the things that annoy you the most, when you can have that relaxing environment every day right in your own home? When they consider all the benefits of our sunrooms, our customers all seem to wonder why they waited so long to enter the brave new world of backyard living.”

Sunroom Living

For many homeowners, their sunroom becomes the setting for many of their daily activities. For some, it is the daily workout room, others enjoy breakfast and the paper, while others like to just sit and enjoy the outdoors without the intrusion of harsh weather and bugs. Many solariums are added as extensions to their family room, or den, offering a perfect setting for family gatherings. When it's just the two of you, it becomes the ideal place for a romantic dinner under the stars. Whatever you use your sunroom for, rest asssured that it will quickly become the most lived-in room in your house, offering serenity and protection against the rigors of daily life.
