Award Criteria

The National Sunroom Association Design Awards recognize excellence in the design and installation of sunrooms, solariums, and patio rooms. Over thirty-five entries of sunrooms, solariums, and patio rooms constructed in 2012 were submitted for this competition. All entries were judged on the basis of 1) aesthetic appeal, 2) how well the sunroom, patio room, or solarium enhances the architecture and natural surroundings of the home or commercial setting, and 3) its interior appeal and functionality. To increase the diversity of entries, all sunroom designs were judged by four different cost levels, as well as three different roofing types.
