Choosing the right sunroom or porch enclosure in New England is a major investment. With our region’s heavy snow, high humidity, and intense pollen seasons, a “one-size-fits-all” solution doesn’t work. Below, we compare Sunspace Sunrooms against two of the most common alternatives: Eze-Breeze and Four Seasons Sunrooms.
1. Sunspace vs. Eze-Breeze
While both systems use flexible vinyl glazing, the engineering behind them is vastly different.
- Durability: Sunspace uses thicker, fully encapsulated aluminum frames. In contrast, Eze-Breeze often uses thinner frames with an “open back” design that can trap dirt and debris.
- Maintenance: Eze-Breeze systems are known for “sticky” tracks and plastic parts that can become brittle over time. Sunspace WeatherMaster windows are designed for smooth, lubricant-free operation.
- Cleaning: All Sunspace panels in a single bay are uniform in size, making them easy to pop out and clean. Eze-Breeze panels are often varied in size, creating a “puzzle” for homeowners when trying to reinstall them.
2. Sunspace vs. Four Seasons Sunrooms
This comparison usually comes down to “3-Season” vs. “4-Season” needs.
- Insulation & Value: Four Seasons Sunrooms typically focuses on high-end glass additions integrated into your HVAC. While excellent, they are significantly more expensive and require more intensive construction.
- The Model 400 Advantage: Sunspace offers the Model 400 Insulated Sunroom, which provides a “true” 4-season experience with high-density foam walls and thermal breaks, often at a more competitive price point than traditional glass additions.
- Versatility: Many New England homeowners prefer the Sunspace Model 200 for its 75% ventilation—something traditional glass sunrooms simply cannot match.
