Discover TEMO Sunrooms Benefits and Features

Are you considering enhancing your home with a TEMO sunroom but have questions about what they offer and how they compare to traditional room additions? Here’s a detailed guide to answer your frequently asked questions and help you understand why TEMO sunrooms are a fantastic choice for extending your living space.

Beautiful by Design. Serious About Engineering.

Anyone can make an outdoor space look beautiful on a perfect day. TEMO engineers outdoor living for the days that aren’t perfect.

From thermal roof panels and high-performance glass to heavy-gauge aluminum structures engineered for demanding wind and snow conditions, TEMO combines beauty, comfort, structural performance and more than 55 years of manufacturing experience into every product we build.

It’s not just what you see that makes a TEMO different. It’s what we’ve engineered behind it.

COMFORT STARTS AT THE TOP.

TEMO manufactures insulated thermal roof panels from 3" to 8" thick, with approximately R-12 to R-30 thermal performance, depending on panel construction, foam density and engineering requirements.

Our structural insulated deck/SIP panels can provide approximately R-24 to R-30 while being engineered for demanding applications, including snow loads up to 100 PSF when specifically engineered for the application.

More insulation. More comfort. Engineered for your climate.

BUILT FOR MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

TEMO systems are engineered for demanding climates across North America, with configurations designed for wind speeds ranging from approximately 110 MPH up to 180 MPH, depending on the product, configuration, location and engineering requirements.

Select TEMO systems have achieved Florida Product Approval, and applicable products have been evaluated by IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Service (UES) for compliance with specified building-code requirements.

Our structural wall systems utilize heavy-gauge extruded aluminum and extensive factory preparation to improve consistency, fit and installation accuracy.

Engineered strength. Factory precision. Built for the environment where you live.

NOT AN OFF-THE-SHELF STORM DOOR.

TEMO doors are designed specifically to complement our wall systems and applicable building-code requirements.

Our Prime Entry Door features heavy-gauge extruded aluminum construction, welded corners, premium hardware and deadbolt security. Glass configurations are available to complement TEMO's vinyl, tempered, insulated and laminated impact window systems.

TEMO also manufactures 5', 6' and 8' sliding patio-door systems with tempered safety glass and sliding screens.

Designed as part of the room—not added as an afterthought.

THE BEST VIEW MAY BE THE COLUMN YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE.

TEMO's heavy-gauge structural aluminum beams are designed to combine commercial-grade strength with residential architectural appeal.

Depending on the product, dimensions, loads and project-specific engineering, TEMO systems can create exceptionally wide openings with fewer columns and reduced visual obstruction.

For specialized applications—including large sunrooms and pool enclosures—engineered designs can accommodate very large clear-span configurations, eliminating the need for unnecessary intermediate obstructions.

TEMO systems can also incorporate engineered cantilevers and overhangs in applicable configurations to create additional usable covered space.

More engineering. Fewer obstructions. Better views.

YOUR ROOF SHOULDN'T LIMIT YOUR DESIGN.

Classic White remains a timeless TEMO choice, featuring a high-performance exterior coating system.

But today's homes demand more options.

TEMO also offers select Sandstone configurations and our premium Toscana Wood Finish™, inspired by the warmth and architectural character of classic Italian villas.

Toscana provides the appearance of a sophisticated wood ceiling while retaining the durability and low-maintenance advantages of an engineered TEMO roof system.

Classic White. Sophisticated Sandstone. Luxurious Toscana. Your home. Your choice.

A TEMO sunroom is a fully enclosed addition to your home that provides extra living space while keeping you protected from bugs, rain, and temperature extremes.

We have either pioneered, created, or implemented the industry’s most advanced technology and process to complete a complementary product for your home.

Most sunrooms can be installed in two to five days, depending on size, customization, and site preparation. Larger or custom projects, like elevated decks or solariums, may take slightly longer.

Because every project is customized, costs vary based on size, glass type, foundation, and design. TEMO’s direct manufacturing process helps keep costs competitive while maintaining premium quality. You’ll receive an exact quote during your free consultation.
