Camberwell, Melbourne · Insulated roof sunroom · 5m × 3.8m · Approximately 19m²
This Camberwell sunroom combines a solid insulated roof with broad garden-facing windows. The 19m² enclosure uses 50mm polyurethane roof panels and 5+20A+5 double glazing, creating a sheltered room beside the home with an open outlook towards the lawn.
Project Background
The project sits alongside a Melbourne home, with the enclosure opening visually towards the garden. The existing house wall remains part of the interior setting. Rather than relying on a transparent roof for daylight, this design pairs an opaque roof with extensive side glazing.
The supplied project images show the exterior and interior arrangement. They do not document the site before construction or the installation stages.
Client Needs and Design Priorities
The layout addresses practical priorities for a garden-facing sunroom:
- Create a sheltered sitting area within a 5m × 3.8m footprint.
- Retain views of the lawn and bring daylight through the windows.
- Combine overhead shade with an insulated roof and double glazing.
- Keep a clear connection to the home and allow space for everyday furniture.
- Coordinate pale framing, grey lower panels and a light floor finish.

Design Solution
Shade from above, daylight from the sides
The solid roof provides overhead shade, while the windows maintain views across the garden. A white internal roof finish gives the ceiling a consistent appearance, with the sloping roofline reflected in the infill panels at the end of the enclosure.
Insulation and double glazing together
The 50mm polyurethane roof panels incorporate an insulating core to help limit heat transfer through the roof. The two glass panes and 20mm air space provide a double-glazed barrier around the room. Overall comfort still depends on orientation, ventilation, shading and the performance of the complete roof, walls and floor; no measured temperature or energy-saving result is claimed.
A practical interior beside the house
The exposed brick house wall contrasts with the pale window framing and grey lower panels. The light tiled floor keeps the interior visually simple, while the window arrangement brings garden views into the sitting area. These features make the room easy to plan around a small table, chairs and indoor plants.
Project Outcome
The result is a 19m² enclosed sunroom with a solid roof and a broad garden outlook. The combination of overhead cover, insulated roofing and double glazing creates a more sheltered setting for sitting, reading or spending time beside the garden. The photographs show the room’s layout and finishes without making claims about property-value increases or tested thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What roof and glazing were used for this Camberwell sunroom?
The 5m × 3.8m sunroom uses 50mm polyurethane insulated roof panels and 5+20A+5 double glazing: two 5mm glass panes separated by a 20mm air space.
How does a solid insulated roof work with large windows?
The opaque roof provides overhead shade, while windows bring daylight and garden views through the walls. Roof insulation and double glazing help reduce heat transfer, but room comfort also depends on orientation, shading, ventilation and the complete enclosure.
