What is a Sun Room?
A sun room is a house extension, often a conservatory or orangery, designed to capture light and sunshine. Often they are fully glazed with floor to ceiling windows and a glass roof, but many examples use a solid roof with large windows to add more insulation and better at retaining heat in colder months.
