Solarium

                noun. 

  

            In traditional architecture, any room 

            exposed to the sun. The term, once referring to open sunporches and 

            apartments on the roofs of ancient Greek or Roman houses, now typically 

            refers to rooms that are enclosed in glass.

There seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes a solarium and it's differences with a sunroom. Although they are basically the same, there is one primary difference:

A solarium is built as an extension of an existing room, or as an additional room within a home. It is a part of the regular living (or conditioned) space of a home. It must adhere to thermal and seismic code regulations, just as with any other home addition or remodel. A sunroom on the other hand, is an external attachment to a home, entered through an exterior door.

Only 400 of our handcrafted solariums can be created each year. We have limited our production, to allow us to build each solarium with an equal amount of quality and care.

Quality is our priority, with each hand-crafted kit. Every piece of wood is hand selected,milled and factory finished. Our craftsmen build each piece with the utmost care and precision.
