    Sunrooms take special design and material considerations

    Ottawa summers are blisteringly hot. Our winters rival the freezing temperatures found in Siberia! It’s an extreme and punishing climate. That’s why building sunrooms – or a more glass-intensive conservatory – takes special planning, energy efficient material considerations, and a professional design if you want to add optimum value to your home and maximum enjoyment pleasure (without sending your heating and cooling costs through the window!).
     

    Building sunrooms – an OakWood specialty

    We can design and build a beautiful custom sunroom, solarium or conservatory that adds light, elegance and year-round living space to your Ottawa home. It all starts with what you want to use the sunroom for:
