Release date:
2025-09-01
The topic of sunrooms has always been a favorite among our friends, and today we’ll dive into how to choose the right roofing material for your sunroom! Selecting the right roof material is no small feat—it requires balancing both aesthetic appeal and durability. The main options include glass, color-coated steel roofs, and high-quality terracotta tiles. Not sure which one to go with? Let us give you a comprehensive guide!
1. Tempered Glass Roof
The most transparent option is undoubtedly the glass-roofed sunroom. Typically, the glass materials used in sunrooms include the following:
1. Single-layer tempered glass: Typically 8 to 12 millimeters thick, this type of glass is more affordable compared to other top-surface glass materials and offers excellent load-bearing capacity. However, its main drawback is that if it breaks, sharp glass fragments can fall downward, posing a potential risk to both people and objects—making double-layer tempered glass the better choice.
2. Laminated glass: Typically, 5+5 or 6+6 laminated glass is used, offering excellent load-bearing capacity. Even if the glass breaks, it won’t fall apart, making it highly safe.
3. Insulated Glass: There are several available specifications and models for insulated glass used in sunroom roofs, but the 5+12A+5 option is still the best choice. Of course, if LOW-e insulated glass is an option, it will elevate the soundproofing and thermal insulation performance even further.
4. Hollow glass with built-in motorized honeycomb shades: If money is no object, this type of hollow glass is undoubtedly the best choice. Not only does it offer excellent sound and heat insulation, but it also comes equipped with an integrated shading feature—installed directly inside the hollow glass itself, so there’s zero maintenance required. With a simple electric remote control, you can effortlessly open the shades to enjoy cool, breezy summers. And in winter, just close them up, grab a good book, pour yourself a cup of tea, and settle into your bright, sunlit conservatory—basking in the gentle warmth of the golden sunlight. Now that’s true luxury!
2. Steel-Frame Sunroom with Color-Coated Roof
Color steel panels offer good insulation and heat-retention properties, but they don’t allow light to pass through and come in limited, somewhat plain color options—though they do have the advantage of being affordable. In contrast, steel-aluminum framed sunrooms are more commonly used abroad, especially for larger structures, thanks to steel’s exceptional strength and ease of welding. However, in China, functional sunrooms are generally not recommended to use color steel tiles as the roofing material due to their limitations in performance and durability.
3. De Gao Wa Top Sunroom
The sunroom roof features a five-layer structure made of materials like Degao tiles and sauna boards, offering excellent insulation and heat retention. It comes in a variety of colors and boasts a sleek, aesthetically pleasing appearance—but in the editor’s opinion, it’s on the pricier side. To enhance natural light and ventilation, you could install skylights on the roof and design tall windows around the perimeter.
Degao tiles form the core of this innovative sunroom roof, while the surrounding walls are crafted from materials such as thermal-break aluminum and glass curtain walls. With its unique, modern design, luxurious aesthetics, and robust safety features, this sunroom is truly a standout addition to any home.
