The allure of the cottage has never been the cottage itself – it’s what surrounds the cottage that makes it special, from the sparkling waters to the windswept pines and majestic rock cuts. This is why our favourite rooms are those that allow us to feel outside, even when we’re not.
NovaSun is Sunspace’s latest line of glass systems. It features a sleek, minimally framed system with glass panels that are designed to disappear. Using an innovative multi-rail system featuring sliding and pivoting glass walls, NovaSun effortlessly blurs the lines between the indoors and outdoors.
In cooler months, the glass walls allow you to enjoy the view from your sunroom without the chill of being outdoors. In warmer months, you can easily slide the panels to the side and enjoy the breeze.
“They truly are the next generation of sliding systems. They maximize space, natural light, panoramic views, and sound insulation,” says François Beaudry, Sunspace’s Director of Marketing.
The line includes three products, which range in insulation and operation. If you want an easy slide option, the Horizon is for you. Its minimalist design supports up to 10 sliding panels, creating a seamless blend of space and natural light, perfect for terraces, balconies and partitions. For extra thermal comfort, François suggests considering the Horizon Plus, offering the same contemporary design, but with 4.3 times better thermal insulation than you get with a single glazed pane.
“You get the same panoramic views, with added energy savings, making it ideal for other multi-season spaces.”
Truly panoramic For a space that truly blurs the lines between the indoors and outer world, the Panoramic is ideal. Built with advanced technology for smooth operation and minimal maintenance, the Panoramic sets itself apart with its unique sliding and pivoting design.
“The pivoting glass system uses 10mm thick glass panels, equipped with a pivoting system with integrated locks,” says François. “They’re an elegant solution that fits any style or space.”
This innovative design is also available with enhanced insulation and added soundproofing with the Panoramic Plus.
For a system with a cutting-edge motorized glass wall, Vertigo is a transformative option. “This durable design uses aluminum and tempered glass to create a versatile, weather-proof retreat.” With the touch of a button or a vocal command to your smart home device, you can raise and lower the panels, stacking them seamlessly at the base to form a modern railing.
Sunspace also offers a Vertigo Plus variant, that enhances the thermal insulation using standard double glazing and enhanced weatherproofing.
With NovaSun, it’s never been easier to bring the outside in.
Innovation and designSunspace is North America’s leading sunroom manufacturer, thanks to their diverse line of products, customization options and innovative approach to the cottage lifestyle. “We want our products to transcend the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living,” says François.
While NovaSun is their newest star, the Model 200 Weathermaster Sunroom is still a fan favourite across North America.
The Model 200 is perfect for those who enjoy the open-air feeling of their existing deck but want protection from the bugs, the elements and harmful UV rays. This design features two-inch foam panels and extrusions, along with versatile WeatherMaster 4-Track vinyl windows. Each window unit slides up or down effortlessly for up to 75 percent increased ventilation.
They’re comfortable, stylish, and offer a variety of wall and window frame colours to choose from, as well as four different window tint options to explore.
“With the Model 200, you can relish the open-air feel of your deck without worrying about insects, and protect yourself from the elements,” says François.
Since they began in 1991, Sunspace has dedicated immense time and effort to research and development, manufacturing each sunroom at one of their three manufacturing facilities located in Newcastle and Lindsay, Ontario.
“Our goal has always been to engineer the highest quality products while establishing the most efficient manufacturing process.” Today, Sunspace’s products are sold and installed by independent authorized dealers across North America.
“Our dealers make it easy to craft and install the ideal sunroom for your property,” says François. ”Visit our website for all our products and to find a dealer in your are
