Transitions Sunroom Additions—not just a sunroom, but a Sunroom Addition. What's the difference? Unlike aluminum sunrooms, Transitions Sunroom Additions are fully custom designed, year round sunroom spaces that seamlessly integrate with virtually any architectural or design need.
Each custom designed and built Transitions Sunroom Addition is constructed using an energy efficient, maintenance-free vinyl wall system in 3 designer colors, supported by an aircraft-grade alloy superstructure that provides superior engineered structural performance, along with complete design flexibility. All of the structural connections are made using our patented interlocking connections system which provides the best possible structural performance, along with hiding all of the fasteners for a clean appearance.
Using all ENERGY STAR® Certified super windows and our ultra efficient vinyl wall system gives each Transitions Sunroom Addition true all-season efficiency and year round thermal performance. Our high performance insulated glass system combined with super spacer glass insulating system makes Transitions Sunroom Additions the most energy efficient sunroom system not only in cold weather heat loss, but also in warm weather solar heat gain.
Why not aluminum? Would you consider replacing your windows with brand new aluminum windows? The answer is of course, no. Why not? Because they are cold in the winter and hot in the summer; because they sweat, condensate, and frost; because they scratch and dent easily; and because they are outdated and inefficient.
Then why would you even consider adding an aluminum sunroom to your home?
Most sunroom systems are still made of aluminum or "thermally broken" aluminum. This outdated technology creates a room structure that is a magnet for energy loss and temperature transfer. The 100% virgin vinyl used in Transitions Sunroom Additions has 700 times less energy temperature transfer and loss than "thermally broken" aluminum and over 850 times less than typical aluminum systems. The only reason people still buy aluminum sunrooms is simply because they do not know there is a better option.
Transitions Sunroom Additions are the perfect balance between style and strength to provide a space that you will enjoy year round and be proud of for a lifetime. Here's why:
Custom Designed – Every Transitions Sunroom Addition is custom designed for your home. We use all custom sized windows so that there is no need for unsightly fill to make "stock" parts work with your home. Due to the strength of our room structure, we can also use larger windows that other companies could only dream of. Larger custom sized windows increas the viewable glass by 10-20% over systems that use "stock" or "standard" size windows and allow for the room to seamlessly integrate with your home design. Every window is custom built for your Transitions Sunroom Addition. This, combined with several sliding and swing door options, allows for unlimited design potential without compromise.
Seamless Integration – Transitions Sunroom Additions come in several styles and designs to work with any design or architectural style. From cathedral to studio to combination or even conservatory designs, Transitions Sunroom Additions are each custom designed and built for your particular home's needs and design considerations.
Energy Efficiency – Transitions Sunroom Additions are constructed using a superior thermal performing vinyl wall system combined with ENERGY STAR® Certified super windows. This gives every Transitions Sunroom Addition exceptional energy efficiency for comfortable use in all seasons.
Maintenance Free – Transitions Sunroom Additions are made completely of maintenance-free vinyl. There is no painting, staining, or ongoing maintenance. The entire room can be wiped down with a damp cloth to keep it looking like new. Unlike aluminum, the color of the room is consistent throughout the interior of all the parts, which eliminates the potential for scratching or metal exposure. In addition, vinyl does not dent.
Designer Color Options – Transitions Sunroom Additions come in three designer colors to match any décor or architectural style. The sunroom structure, roof, and windows all are available in white, tan, and clay. In addition, the colors can be mixed to create a particular look, such as, white windows with a tan room structure.
Designer Window Options – Transitions Sunroom Additions are available with several window styles and options to fit any architectural style and design requirement. These include Slider style, Double Hung, and Casement style windows.
Alloy Superstructure – The alloy that is used to create the superstructure in a Transitions Sunroom Addition is made from an aircraft-quality high tensile strength alloy and is molded into a unique and extremely strong shape to give every Transitions Sunroom unsurpassed strength and structural performance.
Engineered Structural Performance – Every Transitions Sunroom Addition is fully engineered and comes with drawings that are stamped and certified by a professional engineer. This gives every homeowner peace of mind knowing that the room installed on their home is designed to last a lifetime.
Patented Connection and Interlock System – Our patented connection system creates the strongest joints available. Much like a "dovetail" in fine cabinetry or a "mortise and tenon" connection in a hand-crafted Amish barn; the patented interlocking and nesting connection system used in every Transitions Sunroom Addition creates a structure that is designed and engineered to last a lifetime.
Clean Appearance – Transitions Sunroom Additions are designed to have no exposed screws, unsightly bolt heads, or visible fasteners. We've also left out "bent to fit" aluminum parts that have to be "stuffed" together to make them fit. All this makes for a seamless appearance that is second to none.
ENERGY STAR® Certified Super Windows – The windows used in every Transitions Sunroom Addition are ENERGY STAR® Certified and meet or exceed the most stringent energy requirements. We use Low E 3 glazing with Super Spacer insulated glass to create a space that is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Why settle for energy wasting products in your sunroom addition?
High Performance Insulated Glass System – Transitions Sunroom Additions use the highest performing insulated glass system in the industry. This "super glass" increases the energy efficiency over 5 times that of a standard sunroom. This is accomplished by utilizing special glass coatings that reduce heat loss in the winter and reduce heat gain in the summer, all while eliminating damaging UV rays from the sun that cause furnishings to fade and dull.
Super Spacer Glass Insulating – Transitions Sunroom Additions come standard with Super Spacer Glass Insulating systems. This space-age silicone foam creates the most energy efficient insulated glass system while reducing the potential of glass breakage through its "cushioning" properties.
Heat Loss Prevention – Heat loss in a sunroom comes from the transference of the heat energy that is used to keep the room warm in the cooler months. This occurs in two places with a typical sunroom: (1) the aluminum wall structure, and (2) the insulated glass system. Transitions Sunroom Additions use the highest performing and energy efficient systems in both the glass and the insulated wall system to maintain the lowest levels of heat loss in the industry.
Solar Heat Gain Reduction – Solar heat gain occurs when glass allows the heating rays of the sun to penetrate through the sunroom windows. This drastically increases the interior temperature of the sunroom, creating an uncomfortably hot environment (as well as significantly higher utility bills to keep the space cool). Transitions Sunroom Additions come standard with Low E 3 high performance glass that block these heating rays, resulting in the lowest solar heat gain in the industry and keeping your Transitions Sunroom Addition comfortable.
