<p>PLAINS TOWNSHIP &#8212; When you add a sunroom to your home, perhaps by enclosing a porch or some yard space, you can bring as much of the outdoors as you like into your living space.</p><p>Do you want lots of natural sunlight? The windows will let it shine in.</p><p>Are there times of day or seasons of the year when you&#8217;d like to tone down the light? Perhaps a strategically placed tinted window will shield you from the blinding rays of the setting sun.</p><p>&#8220;These are like sunglasses,&#8221; George Whibley from A &amp; B Sunrooms and Remodel in Plains Township said, showing off window panes that offer ultraviolet protection while they cut down on glare.</p><p>Whibley, the general manager at A &amp; B Sunrooms, is one of many vendors who plan to attend BIA&#8217;s Northeast PA Home Showcase, set for March 4-6 at the Mohegan Sun Hotel &amp; Convention Center.</p><p>He&#8217;ll have plenty of sunroom options to show off, including impact-resistant glass, a flexible vinyl polymer you can use in place of glass and screens that seem to almost repair themselves.</p><p>&#8220;If you have grandchildren like I do,&#8221; he said, picking up a pen and jabbing at a demonstration-model window screen, &#8220;you know sometimes they poke at things.&#8221;</p><p>Sure enough, the pen had created a hole in the screen, big enough for a fly or mosquito to enter.</p><p>Rubbing his finger over the hole, Whibley said, &#8220;All you have to do is rub until you feel the heat, and it reverts to its original shape.&#8221;</p><p>People use sunrooms in all sorts of ways, Whibley said. &#8220;They can be dining areas, overflow areas, a getaway room, a cigar or smoking room, even a bird room.&#8221;</p><p>While some bird lovers might spend time in their sun room watching birds at a feeder outdoors, Whibley said, he knew of one person who used a bird room as a place for pet birds to fly around.</p><p>&#8220;You can do whatever you want,&#8221; he said.</p><p>At a previous homes show, Whibley said, an adjustable patio cover by Solara attracted lots of attention. With a louvred ceiling that can be opened or closed, the cover can shelter not only a patio but a garden or hot tub, Whibley said. &#8220;I have one over my swimming pool.&#8221;</p><p>It can also serve as the ceiling for a sunroom, Whibley said.</p><p>&#8220;The possibilities are endless.&#8221;</p><style>

In a sunroom, you can have a lot — or a little — of the great outdoors
