My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

how is room cooled?....and is deck floor insulated?

8 years ago
How are these 4 Season rooms cooled?? I have seen you mention you use gas infra red heaters, but how are they cooled...How do you keep the weather/wind from coming up from the floors, are they insulated and enclosed underneath?

    Hi there! We have used wall mounted air conditioning units on some projects to cool things down in the summer. If we incorporate a deck drain system - and we often do - that helps to keep airflow coming up through the deck boards. These are year round outdoor living spaces, not air tight/insulated sunrooms.
