Patios and Sunrooms: Which Addition Fits Your Backyard Best?

December 16, 2022 Patio Design

If you’re looking to add some outdoor living space to your home, patios and sunrooms both provide a great escape from everyday life. However, there are a few key differences between the two that should be considered before making a decision.

First, let’s talk about patios. A patio is typically a flat, open space that is attached to the back of your home. It’s often made of concrete or pavers and can be customized with furniture, plants, and other decorations to create a comfortable outdoor living space. However, in areas with harsher weather, you may need to invest in a covered patio to ensure you’re not exposed to the elements. 

In contrast, a sunroom is a fully enclosed space that is attached to the back of your home. It’s typically made of glass or other transparent materials, which allows plenty of natural light to come in and provides a great view of the outdoors. Sunrooms are a great option for homeowners who want to be able to enjoy the outdoors without being exposed to the elements. However, being enclosed does mean that sunrooms may get hotter in the summer compared to a patio, so make sure you’ve got plenty of fans and air conditioning to keep cool.

No matter which option you choose, a patio or sunroom can be a great addition to your home and provide a great space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Both options will leave you with an outdoor living space unlike any other, and one you can truly make your own.

Our Customers Love Us

In the past, we have had some problems with contractors. What they say and what they do are two different things. Not so with Texas Custom Patios. We knew what was going to happen, and when, and just as advertised, it happened. In three weeks, we had a 300 square foot addition to our house. We now have an outdoor media room and outdoor dining room and we LOVE IT.
