Sunrooms in Merritt Island, FL

A room with the view

On Merritt Island the view is often the best thing about the house: a canal with a boat at the dock, Sykes Creek, or the open river at sunset. A sunroom lets you enjoy it from a glass-enclosed room under an insulated roof, sheltered from most of the wind off the water and the summer rain, and from the bugs that come with living beside it.

It is a different thing from a screened lanai. A sunroom is attached to the house, with glass walls and a solid insulated roof, so it is as pleasant on a gray January morning as on a bright spring afternoon.

Built for waterfront exposure

• Keymark aluminum framing, engineered for the wind loads at your address, which on the water can be higher than inland.
• A 3-inch foam-insulated roof (R12) that keeps the afternoon sun from turning the room into a greenhouse.
• Glass walls chosen for the view. We install PGT horizontal roller windows in standard or impact-resistant glass, or CWS acrylic sliding windows.
• Xylan-coated stainless steel fasteners for the salt air.

Fitting a sunroom on a waterfront lot

Many Merritt Island homes already have a lanai, a covered patio or an older screen room facing the water. That is often the natural place for a sunroom, as long as the setbacks from the seawall allow it. We check those limits first, then design a room that meets your roofline and keeps as much of the view as possible. We can almost always build on your existing patio slab. If a screen room is already there, we take it down and build the sunroom new: screen rooms are framed with 2-inch aluminum for the light screen, and windows are heavier and need 3-inch framing.

Inland homes on North Merritt Island and along Tropical Trail usually have more room to work with, and a sunroom off the family room or kitchen gives you a room you use every day without giving up the yard. If what you mostly want is a bug-free lanai, a screened patio enclosure may be all you need, and we can show you both at your consultation.
