TESTIMONIAL: Thank You SUNQUEST

Posted by Sunquest in Thank You SUNQUEST , testimonial , sunroom testimonial , new sunroom , new roof , Four Seasons Sunrooms

Dear  Mr. Mike Fraley

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for your company.  I am extremely satisfied with the work that was done on my roof, the quality of the service, how clean and trouble free the process was, and even more importantly, for the kindness with which I was treated, and the fact that  you, Mr Mike Fraley, spoke to the Insurance Company on my behalf, ensuring that I was reimbursed for the additional cost of this project.  Without that help I am not sure whether we would have been able to get all of this accomplished.  It is companies like SUNQUEST (Four Seasons Sunrooms), that truly value and put customers first, that deserve continued loyalty and support.  I will be sure to always speak fondly of you, and refer you to any and all friends who need any of the services you offer. Thank you Pete for the help in this project. Thank you very much Adam Ford  and  all the team players.
I would like to give a special thank you for the excellent workers that worked in my house Andrew, Rene, Austin and Elmer. Thank you very much for all you did on my behalf.

The Coating Process

Another patented feature of Conservaglass Plus™ is a special coating that makes it significantly easier to clean and maintain. This extra step during the glass manufacturing process bonds an exterior coating to the outer surface of the glass, making it super smooth to reduce accumulation of dirt and dust. This hydrophilic coating makes rain water "sheet off" rather than "bead up", which carries away dirt and dust, making the care of your glass so much easier. No competitor's glass has this technology.

Patented Technology that sets us apart from the competition
Four Seasons Conservaglass Plus™ is made differently than competitors' glass. Features such as bent corners, dual seal silicone and gas filling without fill holes make our Conservaglass Plus™ last about six times longer than the competitions'. Conservaglass Plus™ lasts from 30 to 60 years, the competition's only lasts from 5 to 20 years.

Insulating and Testing State-of-the-art robotic processing and testing ensure the highest quality, maximum performance and long-term durability.

How it works

Electrical energy is used to charge exotic compounds and metals which bombard the glass surface, depositing a micro-thin coating.

Eleven bombardment chambers are used with three targets in each chamber, offering 33 possible layering combinations.

Note: Because of new patent applications, exact layer specifications may vary.

Specialty Products

Curved Glass Manufacturing
The challenges of creating a Conservaglass Plus™ coating for curved glass were very formidable. Glass is normally coated prior to the tempering process. This, however, was impossible for curved glass. Therefore, a special coating process was developed to permit tempering and bending of the glass after the Conservaglass Plus™ coatings were applied. To do this, a state of the art bending process was developed.

High Impact Hurricane Glass
Four Seasons can provide Conservaglass Plus™ in heavy duty .090 laminated configuration designed to provide high impact protection from hurricanes as well as superior protection from vandalism or intruders. This heavy-duty glass is available for our entire structure, including the curved glass.

Meets Tough German and European Energy Codes
Determination of the areal thermal resistance and the areal thermal transmittance - (measurements on the glazing according to the German building products directive (Bauregelliste) Expert opinion concerning Test report No. 40119600/1 e of 24 November 1998. Determination of the total solar energy transmittance and the physical radiation data of glazing.

sep

Tempered for Safety & Strength

Conservaglass Plus™ is four to six times stronger than ordinary glass and, if broken, would shatter into harmless, rounded pellets.

Meets or exceeds ANSI297.1 building codes for safety.

Lifetime Limited Product Warranty

And best of all, your Four Seasons Conservaglass Plus™ insulated glass panels come with a lifetime warranty.

Why Buy a Sunroom today?

Posted by Sunquest in Sunrooms


In this day and age, most of us live our days in artificial light and closed-in space.  So, what can we do about it?  We can open up our confining solid walls and bring more light and space into our homes.

Opening our lives to more light and space allows us to live a healthier life.   It is very beneficial to have a space in our home where we can get every second of natural light available from the sun.

Of course, any sunroom will let more natural light into our lives, but an ordinary glass room addition will also let in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter.

We need a glass room addition that can be heated and cooled just like the rest of our home. For a year-round addition of light and space to your home, there’s only one company that can meet all your needs: Four Seasons Sunrooms.  Call today for more information!

Very Smart Glass (Green Sunroom House)

Posted by Sunquest in Smart Glass



Permits were filed, materials ordered and before long construction started on a very unique home. This home was designed with a southwestern motif complete with stucco & stone walls both inside and out and best of all glass sunrooms on all four sides. Inside these light filled open spaces there are large openings to access the 'inner core' of the living area. There are two bedrooms on the first floor with open walls leading into sunrooms on the east side, a very large opening into the kitchen/breakfast area open to a sunroom on the west side, a larger two story sunroom on the North side which is used as a living / family room area and finally, a sunroom breezeway that connects the house to the drive through garage and completes the full sunroom "loop" around the main living space.

Building Green - Sunrooms

Posted by Sunquest in Building Green Sunrooms


After several meetings to discuss the needs and desires of the project I got our Architect, Tom Walsman involved to prepare construction drawings and we set out to locate a suitable building lot. I lined up several possibilities and we met at the first location in Thurmont Md. Given the beautiful views and the location they felt that we didn't need to look any further and that they had found "home".

Downstairs Bedroom (Sunroom)

Posted by Sunquest in Downstairs Bedroom Sunroom

Ron & Barbara Miller contacting me inquiring whether would be able to construct a home for them. (we had done several projects at their current home in Bethesda prior to his call) He told me that he so much loved and enjoyed the various sunspaces we had created for them and that he spent practically every waking hour in them that he would like to build a new home duplicating much of that same feel. Ron had a basic idea what he wanted to accomplish with this project so we met to discuss his ideas.
