The History of Sunrooms

Sunroom extensions are a relatively new concept for homes, yet they are extremely popular in Western countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and, of course, Australia, so it may not be long until you see sunrooms on every suburban Sydney block.

They are favoured in places where the weather can change on a day-to-day basis, or even part of the way through the day, and it was from this issue of climate uncertainty that they were born.

This is a brief history of sunrooms:

Screened-in Porches

The screened-in porch is the ancestor of the sunroom. They were mostly prominent in the United States as a means of enjoying the outdoors in a way that minimised the effects of rain and insects. However, the problem with screened-in porches was keeping them free from dust, dirt, and pollen.

Patio Enclosures

In the late 1940s, patio enclosures became the solution to the dust and pollen issue by using storm windows placed together on a traditional screened-in porch. The problem with this solution was though it was far more sheltered from the elements, any patio enclosures looked like additions to a home and therefore lost a great deal 

of their appeal. It was too clear that the sunroom was one of potentially many extensions.

The Modern Sunroom and Queensland Room

As we become more energy conscious, and building technology improves, the sunroom has grown to reflect this. A modern sunroom can be far more integrated with a pre-existing home than its predecessors, and can be built from a number of materials, including insulated glass to keep out UV radiation but to keep in heat. This notion of retained heat is what can be seen to as leading to sunrooms to be called Queensland rooms in Sydney and throughout Australia.

Sunrooms have come a long way from their humble pre-war roots, and they continue to evolve and modernise into stylish must-haves for homes.

Below are some advantages of having carports, some of which you may not have considered before:

Protection against the weather

A carport provides excellent protection for your car against the environment’s harsh elements such as the summer sun, the winter’s snow and rain. While not totally enclosed, a carport has a roof and some sides.

Some protection against intruders

Carports also offer some safety for your car. Because a carport sits close to the home, a burglar will feel less inclined to steal away your car. Carports also helps staving off vandalism, as well as other random attacks.

Offers some additional space

Carports can also be an excellent home extension where you can host parties or a space where you can spend a relaxing time with your friends and family.

Storage for other types of vehicles

If you’ve got other vehicles, such as trailers, trucks, ATVs, and motorcycles, you can park them in the carport if there’s no more room in the garage.

Offers some shade

The carport can also be used kids’ play area, as well as a place for relaxation for adults.

Additional storage space

If you’ve got extra items that cannot be accommodated elsewhere in the home, a carport with side walls can be used for additional storage.

Offers convenience

Most carports are open, which is actually an advantage. You are free to enter and exit a carport even when your hands are full of items such as grocery bags.

Increases your home’s value

With a carport added, you’re not only building an extra space for your home; you’re also building an opportunity to increase your home’s market value. It’s especially useful for those looking to resell their homes in the future.

Sydney Carports for Function, Style and Value

Sydney Carports for Function, Style and Value

Carports and pergolas are some of the finest additions to Sydney homes. While they may not be able to provide total protection against the harsh elements, they offer tremendous value and aesthetic improvements to homes.

At Wizard Home Improvements, we understand carports and pergolas. Carports, for instance, are added not only as an extension that provides protection to cars or as an extended living space; they are also added to improve the home’s market value.

That’s especially true if they are built with the right kind of materials for the right kind of home setup.

As the leading provider of home improvements services in Sydney, we help homeowners build and design suitable customised solutions for their carport and pergola needs.

Common materials used for carports in most Sydney homes

Carports and pergolas are built and designed with practically any building material available. They are mostly built from brick, wood, cast iron, tile, concrete, stone and composite materials.

Most pergolas are made out of wood, but those that have been built out of combined materials are still commonplace.

Wizard Home Improvements build pergolas and carports made out of timber with colorbond and aluminum frames.

Construction and design

Carports and pergolas are extremely customisable. They can be built in any sizes, width, length and height. Pergolas, which can be designed in many ways, may be built with either flat or curved tops.

For pergolas, they can be built to have simple beams and posts. They can also be constructed with horizontal bars with ropes added along the lower parts for hanging plants. The pergola’s top may be built with open and simple design.

What’s your carport and pergola design requirements? Talk to Wizard Home Improvements today by calling 1300 920 788, or visit www.WizardHomeImprovements.com.au.
