What is the difference between 3 season and 4 season?

Let’s get an understanding of the differences between 3 and 4 season rooms

If you’re considering adding a custom porch to your home and your stuck between picking a 3 season room or a 4 season room, this blog is perfect for you. We will walk through the difference between 3 season and 4 season to help you make your decision.

3 Season Rooms


3 season rooms offer an enclosed space to enjoy the combination of the outdoors and the indoors. Typically, 3-season rooms accommodate 3 seasons out of the year. Depending on where you live and your weather conditions you may be able to utilize your 3-season room year-round. In the Charlotte area, you can enjoy your 3-season porch year-round with Eze breeze windows, outdoor heaters, fans, and other accommodations. At Archadeck of Charlotte we build our 3 season rooms with Eze Breeze 4-track windows. They offer a more versatile, durable, and flexible option compared to roll screening. 3 season rooms are typically less expensive than a 4 season room but of course, it depends on various factors.

4 Season Rooms

Think of a 4-season room as a home addition. They typically have glass windows, heating, and cooling elements, potentially plumbing, and other accommodations. At Archadeck of Charlotte, we do not build 4 season rooms or sunrooms. These porches can be mistaken for home additions. Archadeck is an outdoor living brand company meaning we focus solely on outdoor living designs and projects. 4- Season rooms can be enjoyed year-round offering a true extension of your home but not for cheap. 4 Season rooms are pricier than a screened porch, open porch, or 3 season room.

Is a 3 season room or a 4 season room better?

Deciding whether a 3 or 4 season room is better is completely up to you and your preferences. If you’re looking for a combination of outdoor and indoor space, a 3 season room will be best for you. If you’re looking for an extension of your home that can be heated, cooled, insulated, and used year-round, a 4 season room or sunroom is best for you. If you want a sunroom but want to cut the price, a 3-season room with 4-track Eze Breeze windows is a great option.
