A sunroom (also ''solarium'', ''garden room'', and other variations) is a structure, either attached or integrated into a building such as a home, restaurant, or office, which allows enjoyment of the surrounding landscape while being sheltered from adverse weather. Also known as a sun parlor, sun porch, sun lounge, patio room, Florida room, garden conservatory, or Wintergarden, such rooms are popular in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In Great Britain, with its long history of formal conservatories, small scale "sunrooms" are also sometimes known by that term. Sunrooms are used in passive solar building design as a technique for heating and lighting structures. ==Design== A sunroom may be a room in a building specifically tailored to that function (with many windows and appropriate climate control), a connected structure erected during new construction, or one added some time afterwards. Attached sunrooms are typically constructed of transparent tempered glazing atop a brick or wood "knee wall", or framed entirely of wood, aluminum, or PVC and glazed on all sides. For privacy, frosted glass or breeze block is used. Some sunrooms are designed to exploit a scenic view, others to collect sunlight for warmth and light. These, composed entirely of framed glass and usually called ''solariums'', are typically found in high latitude (low sun angle) or cold (high altitude) locations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「sunroom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
