Customer Feedback

These folks are fantastic! Somewhere between 5-10 years ago they built a sunroom for me. That sunroom has been nothing short of solid. It’s fantastic. It’s given us extra space, and because of the glass and windows, we even use it on cold winter days when it’s sunny. We chose Ideal Sundecks because of the long history they have (they know what they’re doing!), and we also liked the super solid roof.

I recently broke a window with flying lawnmower rocks (oops) and Paul and the team were great to deal with. Their after-sales service is just as fantastic as the original install. I’d recommend these guys any day for edmonton and surrounding area counties. 100% a great local business. And if you’re questioning a sunroom, it will be the best investment you ever make in terms of a functional & useable home Reno.

FAQs About Glass Patio Covers, Glass Enclosures & Sunrooms

1. What’s the difference between a glass patio cover, a glass enclosure, and a sunroom?

A glass patio cover is an overhead structure that protects your patio from the elements. A glass enclosure adds walls to create a sheltered outdoor space. A sunroom is a fully enclosed room designed for year-round or three-season use, depending on the system.

2. Can a glass patio cover handle Edmonton’s snow and weather?

Yes—when properly engineered. Quality systems are designed to withstand local snow loads, wind, and temperature fluctuations.

3. Will adding a glass enclosure increase my home’s value?

Generally, yes. These upgrades improve curb appeal, add functional living space, and create desirable indoor–outdoor areas.

4. Can I use a glass-enclosed space year-round?

It depends on the system you choose. Three-season rooms offer protection from wind and rain, while four-season sunrooms include insulation and heating options for winter use.

5. Do glass patio covers make my home too hot in the summer?

Not when built with the right materials. Many glass systems include tinted, tempered, or low-E glass that reduces UV exposure and heat buildup.

6. How long does installation take?

Most glass patio covers and enclosures take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to complete, depending on size, design, and customization.

7. Are glass enclosures safe and durable?

Yes. They use tempered or laminated safety glass, which is strong, impact-resistant, and designed to break safely if damaged.

8. What kind of maintenance do glass patio covers require?

Maintenance is minimal. Usually, seasonal cleaning and an occasional check of seals, tracks, and hardware are all that’s needed.

9. Can I customize the design to match my home?

Absolutely. Glass systems can be customized in size, frame colour, roof style, door types, and additional features like screens or retractable panels.

10. Do I need a permit to build a glass enclosure or sunroom?

In many cases, yes. Projects that change the structure of your home or create enclosed living space often require permits. A professional installer can help with the process.
