Growing your own herbs not only can benefit your physical health and overall experience of food, but can also give you a psychological boost. It's true! Watching something grow that you planted yourself is rewarding for your brain. It can also be a great way to learn more about self-sufficiency, or to educate yourself (and your children) on the basics of what growing your own food looks like.

Energy costs are rising around the world, and we're all wondering: what can I do to save on energy costs, while still upkeeping a comfortable lifestyle? The way light enters your home, as well as insulation has a lot to do with how energy is stored inside your household.

Many countries are experiencing heat waves, as is Canada... Often in summer heat, all you want to do is to enjoy the comfort of air conditioning, but then you're missing out on the warm waves of summer, which, as we know, don't last for too long in northern countries.

Sunrooms don't just contribute to the physical well-being of your home, but also to the physical well-being of its residents, or yourself. We spend a lot of our time at home, and it is important to consider how the home can be made into a safe, healthy, and happy environment, which enhances your well-being rather than taking away from it.

When it starts raining outside, exercising outdoors isn't maybe the thing to do. Going to the gym can get exhausting, as well. What about if you could turn your outdoor space into the best at home gym?

Depending on the location of the sunroom on your house, your outdoor space may be exposed to a lot of sunshine. That being said, your sunroom can get quite hot, especially in the summertime. Retractable sunroom walls are a great solution to ensure that you can get sufficient ventilation into the room, no matter the season. Retractable solutions also help to ensure that there is no excessive moisture build-up in your room.

You've ordered retractable glazing for your sunoom... what next? When the decision on installing a sunroom has been made, one would wish that they could be installed the next day. After your thorough design consultation, you probably already have a million ideas of how to put your sunroom to use... which is exactly how it should be! You can hardly wait until its possible to spend more time outdoors, even when its rainy, or the weather is otherwise unfavourable.

Adding a sunroom to the back of your home creates an extra safe space for you, your children, or your pets to enjoy. This space between the indoors and outdoors is also an ideal 'getaway' space, a space where organizing parties and other events is made easy. When hosting a birthday party for your child (or dog), it can all be done outdoors. The sunroom acts as a great getaway space for your celebrations, in case the weather turns around on you! It's even possible to make use of your sunroom in the winter.

Summer, bugs, and the warm weather are here! Spending time outdoors is one of the greatest ways to spend a summer. However, many of us still work in the summertime, and getting out may not always be possible. In the evenings, when you would like to sit down, relax and enjoy the patio or your outdoor space, the bugs may be disturbing your peace, or perhaps the weather forecast called for a rainy evening.

Sure, a big backyard is nice, but is it being put to its full potential use throughout the year? In the summer, it may provide lots of room for play, but when the chilly, rainy and snowy days come, you'd probably rather cozy up inside.
