Year-Round Vinyl Sunrooms

Windows have evolved from wood to aluminum to vinyl for good reasons. Due to its low conductivity, vinyl reduces heat loss and reduces the possibility of condensation that can occur when warm moist air contacts cold framework. Vinyl sunrooms provide the ultimate combination of thermal efficiency, minimum maintenance, and architectural tie-in to the house. As the innovator of vinyl sunrooms, Betterliving® leads the industry in design, engineering, and beauty resulting in four season sunrooms and patio enclosures that will stand the test of time. Betterliving® sunrooms offer a unique combination of features: 

• Virgin vinyl is mixed with a high proportion of additives for UV resistance and color stabilization

• All structural members are reinforced with steel or aluminum

• 4-1/4" sunroom walls provide the best combination of strength, thermal efficiency, and appearance

• All windows, doors and screens roll on steel rollers with stainless steel ball bearings, and roll with ease on a stainless steel track for a lifetime of maintenance-free operation

• Betterliving^® Sunrooms can be built to accommodate existing decks or pads that are not perfectly level

• Electrical wiring and screws are completely concealed

• The framework, windows and doors are engineered into an integrated system with active water control rather than a framework with replacement windows inset.  This provides tighter seals, and a flush appearance unbroken by protruding frames.

• Sunroom Windows and doors are Energy Star certified in all 50 states

• NFRC full-frame U-factor of .32 - .34. Center of glass U-factor of .23.

• 50 Year Manufacturers Warranty

Visiting our showroom is a great way to see how beautiful our Betterliving sunrooms are. However, living with a sunroom for many years will tell you about it's design and quality that is not entirely evident in a showroom visit. Ten years from now, will the windows and doors still operate smoothly and easily? Will the sun room develop leaks? Have the vinyl or other components cracked or faded? And, is the room energy efficient and resistant to condensation? Unlike other systems, the Betterliving water control system is designed to prevent clogging of the weep holes and accumulation of standing water with the associated mold build-up inside the hidden drainage channels. It is designed to drain 8" of rain per hour and ensure that your sunroom will remain dry and comfortable. Everyone has experienced sticky sliding patio doors. Balky doors are caused by worn or damaged tracks, worn rollers, or door frames that are out of plumb or not square. Betterliving four season sunrooms address every one of these issues with superior engineering to prevent these problems and provide years of trouble free performance. All our components right down to the sealant come from the same manufacturer to assure color consistency.  The vinyl is infused with titanium oxide to resist fading and chalking. The roof panels utilize a baked on enamel paint similar to your appliances and are protected with a clear coat top surface. Betterliving vinyl sunrooms are engineered to look great for a lifetime and are backed by a 50 year manufacturers warranty.

Betterliving Sunroom Glass

Betterliving^® sun room glass is tempered similar to the side windows of your car. Tempered glass is about 8 times strongest than standard glass and is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against breakage. If broken, the glass will shatter into small pebble-like pieces rather than large dangerous shards. All sunroom glass is insulated and Energy Star® certified in all 50 states. To attain this prestigious certification, Better living uses argon gas fill between the panes. Argon is a harmless inert gas and is a more effective insulator than air.

Glass panes are separated with PPG Intercept® spacers for the best combination of durability, resistance to gas leakage and resistance to heat loss. Intercept spacers are so energy efficient they keep the edges of the window glass warmer, so your sunroom is less expensive to heat in the winter. As you can see below, the temperature difference can be dramatic. Intercept Insulating Glass Unit Conventional Insulating Glass Unit This thermograph or “heat picture” compares inside glass temperature for an Intercept insulating glass unit (left: yellow is warmer; blue is cooler) and a conventional unit (right). Because the Intercept glass technology allows for significantly warmer glass temperature, especially at the edges, your sunroom will feel more comfortable and cost less to heat or cool.

A cutting edge sunroom glass package would not be complete without an effective low-E (low emissivity) glass coating to reduce fabric fading and improve thermal performance. Low-E coatings reflect most ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light while allowing most of the visible light through. By reflecting UV, Betterliving insulated glass will significantly diminish fading of fabrics and carpet. IR light waves are what make the sun's rays have warmth. By reflecting IR light, solar heat gain is reduced and the sunroom is more comfortable in the summer. In the winter, this works in reverse to help keep the warmth in the sun room and reduce heating costs.
