Do solariums add value to a home in Canada?
A solarium can make a home more appealing, but its effect on resale value varies too much to put a number on it:
- Usable space: Adds a sheltered room for dining or lounging without the construction of a traditional home addition
- Longer outdoor season: Polycarbonate-roof models extend the usable season from early spring to late fall
- Resale value: Depends on the home, the local market and how the solarium is installed and maintained; a local real estate professional can give you an estimate
- Permits: Rules vary by municipality, especially for wall-mounted models attached to the house; check with your city before you buy
Look for polycarbonate roof panels and an aluminum frame, which resist UV and rust.
