RECEIVING WALL
The exterior finish of the solarium receiving wall will be removed (regardless of the cladding) to fasten the wood stringers. Installed along the entire perimeter, they serve to create a thermal barrier and for levelling and squaring of the right angles, essential to installation of a glazed room.

KEEPING THE DOOR
The Three Seasons Plussolarium does not allow opening of the wall or elimination of an existing door between the solarium and the house. This imperative condition is imposed by our harsh winters. |

FALSE ROOF
Installation of an insulated false roof (wool insulation or urethane) on a street-level house is necessary, more often than not, to meet the required slope and height standards. This false roof may have one or two lean-tos. A ventilation opening is made between the existing roof and the new roof. The latter receives the same exterior finish as the former. A three-foot clearance is left around the rim of the false roof to allow installation of a waterproofing membrane on this entire surface. |

RECOMMENDATIONS
The glazing of the Three Seasons Plus solarium is much less efficient than that of the Four Seasons solarium. We therefore do not recommend opening the wall or removing the existing door between solarium and the house. This room must always be temperate, meaning that the temperature must be maintained above the freezing point (between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius) to prolong the life cycle of the sealed units.
