Learning ways to keep your sunroom ventilated can go a long way in protecting your investment as well as providing hours of enjoyable relaxation.

  1. Decide whether it is best to use a do-it-yourself method to ventilate your sunroom or use a purchased sun room ventilation system.

  2. Set up fan, preferably oscillating, within the sunroom. Since the glass in the sunroom will transmit the suns' rays automatically, it is always a good idea to position the fan in the coolest corner of the room. Performing this measure will allow the fan to blow the cooler air around the room.

  3. Open any windows directly adjacent to the sunroom. The air wafting from this window will travel to the sunroom and circulate within it and produce a sense of coolness.

  4. Remove any unnecessary lights from the sunroom. The heat from the lights can cause the sunroom to heat up and hold hot air.

  5. Install opaque drapes within the sunroom and close them during times when no one is inside the room. With this method, the outside heat will not penetrate through the drapes and make for a hot box when you decide to rest in the room.
