What We Replaced

The existing insulated glass room had reached the end of its service life. Our team safely removed the structure, hauled away all debris, and prepared the slab and interfaces for a new, code-compliant enclosure designed for Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and frequent storms.

The New System — Built for Louisiana Homes

This Sunroom Installation in Waggaman, LA features a custom Thermal Three Glass Room engineered for South Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and storm cycles. The system combines high-performance glazing, insulated framing, and a foam-filled roof to maximize daylight while improving comfort, efficiency, and year-round usability.

Key Components

Thermal Three Insulated Walls

The Thermal Three system provides a thermally broken, insulated wall assembly that stabilizes temperatures year-round. In the Gulf South climate — where summer heat and solar gain are intense — this design reduces hot spots and helps your HVAC operate more efficiently.

Low-E Argon Windows

Large vinyl window units feature Low-E coatings and argon-gas fill to mitigate solar heat gain while preserving clear views and natural light. Low-E glazing reflects a portion of infrared energy, so interiors stay cooler without dark tints. Argon increases the insulating value and helps limit condensation.

Heavy-Duty Full-View French Door

A 7-ft-wide insulated French door provides an elegant focal point and easy access to outdoor living areas. Low-E glass maintains clarity while supporting thermal performance, and a deadbolt lock enhances security.

Insulated Roof With Integrated Drainage

The roof uses 4-inch foam-filled insulated panels to limit radiant heat transfer from above. Integrated gutters channel rainwater away from the structure, while leaf guards reduce maintenance and help keep downspouts clear — a smart upgrade for tree-lined properties on the West Bank.

Installation Details

This Sunroom Installation in Waggaman, LA began with careful dismantling of the aging enclosure, thorough jobsite protection, and responsible debris removal. With the slab cleared, we set the new Thermal Three Glass Room on a 10-inch brick base flanked by two brick columns that visually anchor the elevation and tie it to the home’s exterior. All roof-to-wall and wall-to-slab transitions were sealed and flashed per manufacturer specifications to resist wind-driven rain and moisture — essential for Jefferson Parish weather. We finished with crisp white framing for a clean, timeless look that complements both brick and siding throughout the neighborhood.

Benefits for the Homeowner

• Lower upkeep: Vinyl windows, factory finishes, and leaf-guarded gutters cut routine maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thermal Three wall system?

Thermal Three is a factory-engineered, insulated wall system for sunrooms and glass rooms. It combines structural strength with thermal breaks and insulation to control heat transfer — a clear advantage in hot, humid climates like South Louisiana.

How do Low-E and argon improve comfort?

Low-E coatings reflect a portion of the sun’s infrared energy to reduce solar heat gain, while argon gas between panes increases insulating value. Together, they help rooms feel cooler in summer and reduce condensation.

Is a 4-inch insulated roof sufficient for our climate?

Yes. Foam-filled panels provide meaningful resistance to radiant heat and pair well with Low-E glazing. When properly flashed and sealed, they help manage wind-driven rain. Integrated gutters with leaf guards improve drainage and reduce maintenance.

Can I choose different door sizes or styles?

Absolutely. Full-view French doors are popular for sightlines and light, but single doors, sliding doors, and different widths are available. We’ll recommend options that match your opening size, traffic patterns, and security needs.
