The sunroom: your new sanctuary!

The benefits of a solarium on our health

A solarium, primarily composed of glass, allows an abundance of daylight to enter your home. But what difference does a brighter room make to you? The answer lies in the often-overlooked benefits of “light therapy,” an invigorating contribution of natural light that can significantly enhance your health and happiness.

Understanding Light Therapy

Light therapy is a care method that utilizes sunlight to exert its benefits. It positively influences our mood and sleep by affecting serotonin production, commonly known as the “happiness hormone.” Increasing serotonin levels through light exposure can boost your overall mood and life satisfaction.

Moreover, light therapy plays a crucial role in managing melatonin production, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. By helping balance melatonin levels, a solarium can contribute to better sleep patterns, ultimately improving your mental and physical health.

Technical Advantages of a Solarium

Although solariums are made of durable and climate-resistant materials like aluminum and glass, the four-season model takes it a step further. It features multiple panes of glass that act as additional insulation, preserving heat and making the space enjoyable in both winter and summer.

Construction and Customization

• Sturdy Structure: It’s essential to ensure the solidity of the walls, as they act as a barrier against bad weather and support the solarium roof. With the accumulation of snow in winter, building a solid foundation is crucial for maintaining your sanctuary.
• Tailored Design: If desired, you can customize your solarium to match the color and materials of your house, whether it’s tile, shingle, or sheet metal. The roof structure can seamlessly blend with your home, featuring cathedral or gable ceilings. This extension is adaptable, allowing you to harmonize your addition for a personalized sanctuary.

Choosing the Right Flooring

When selecting the floor for your 3-season or 4-season solarium, prioritize comfort and durability. Materials resistant to humidity and wear and tear, such as floating floors, ceramic, or stone, are wise choices. If you want to keep your toes warm during cooler seasons, consider installing a carpet or even a heated floor. The possibilities are endless, ensuring you can create a space tailored to your preferences and needs.

Installation: Safe and Durable

Do you want a safe and durable installation that withstands the elements year-round? Choose a solid foundation. Vistech piles offer a reliable solution, with installers screwing the piles below the frost level, preventing ground movement caused by freeze-thaw cycles.

Postech Thermal Screw Piles

Postech Thermal Screw Piles undergo a metallurgical process called hot-dip galvanizing. This process provides durable protection against corrosion, ensuring an estimated useful life of at least 75 years. Our certified installers will gladly offer you the best choice of piles suited to your needs. The installation is done quickly and will not cause damage to your property since no excavation is necessary.

With the proper foundation, your solarium will become a year-round haven that withstands the test of time, offering you a sanctuary of light, warmth, and comfort.

Embrace Your New Sanctuary

Adding a solarium to your home enhances your living space and offers numerous health benefits through increased light exposure. By investing in a well-constructed, personalized solarium, you can create a sanctuary that improves your quality of life, providing joy, comfort, and well-being for years to come.
