Sunroom Export from China | 4 Season Aluminum Solarium Specs & Pricing
ROGENILAN manufactures aluminum framed sunrooms (阳光房) in Foshan, China for export to residential and light commercial projects. This page documents 4 season solarium specifications, aluminum sunroom manufacturing data, sun room pricing tiers, and procurement terms for buyers evaluating China-based sunroom suppliers. All figures reference standard export configurations shipped between 2024 and 2026.
Sunrooms 4 Season Engineering Specifications
Four season sunrooms are engineered to maintain habitable interior temperatures across a 40°C to -25°C exterior range without supplementary heating beyond 80 W/m². The assembly combines thermally broken aluminum framing, insulated glazing, and sealed joinery. Specifications below cover the standard 4 season configuration shipped from our Foshan facility.
Frame Materials and Thermal Performance

Argon filled units ship standard; krypton fill available for triple glazing with 12 mm airspaces reduced to 9 mm. Tempered glass complies with EN 12150; laminated glass with EN ISO 12543. All units carry a 10 year seal warranty against visible condensation between panes.
Solarium Construction Standards
The solarium structure must transmit dead load, live load, snow load, and wind load to the host building or independent foundation without transferring stress into the glazing. Load calculations below reference engineering practice for attached solariums up to 60 m².

For hurricane zones (Florida, Caribbean, South China coast), the RGS-80H variant uses 2.5 mm wall thickness mullions and laminated impact glazing rated to ASTM E1996 Large Missile Impact. Miami-Dade NOA documentation is supplied per project.
Ventilation and Climate Control Integration
Solarium overheating is mitigated through three integrated systems:
- Roof vents: 600×800 mm motorized skylight vents at 8% of floor area, rain sensor auto-close within 4 seconds, 24 V DC chain actuator rated for 80,000 open/close cycles.
- Operable windows: Awning or casement vents at low level totaling 8% of glazing area, manual or electric operator. Air change rate target: 8 ACH at 5 Pa pressure differential.
- Optional HVAC stub: 100 mm sleeve through sole plate for 9,000 BTU mini-split refrigerant line; conduit pre-installed for 220 V 50 Hz or 110 V 60 Hz condenser unit.
Stack effect ventilation (cool air enters low, warm air exits high through roof vents) maintains interior temperature within 4°C of ambient when outdoor temperature is below 28°C and solar radiation is below 700 W/m².
Aluminum Sunroom Manufacturing Process
Aluminum sunroom production at the Foshan facility follows a 9 station workflow with documented inspection points. Annual capacity is 8,500 standard solarium kits per shift; lead time data is provided in the procurement section.
Alloy Grades and Surface Treatments
Extrusion stock is 6063-T5 (universal) or 6063-T6 (high strength mullion series). Surface treatment options with warranty and salt spray test data:

Coating adhesion tested per EN ISO 2409 (cross-cut, 0 rating); impact resistance per ASTM D2794 (160 in-lb direct, 80 in-lb reverse). All powder coat lines carry Qualicoat license; PVDF lines carry AAMA 2605 certification.
Assembly Tolerances and Quality Control
Each sunroom kit ships with a QC dossier containing the following inspection records:
- Extrusion mill certificate (chemical composition per EN 573-3, mechanical per EN 755-2)
- Coating thickness protocol (5 readings per face per profile, elcometer reading)
- Glass unit IGCC certification (initial U-value, dew point ≤ -40°C)
- Frame assembly squareness: ±0.5 mm/m measured at four corners
- Diagonal equality: difference ≤ 3 mm for bays up to 6 m
- Hardware cycle test (5,000 cycles per EN 13126 for operating vents)
- Water test: 600 L/m²/hr spray for 15 min, zero interior leakage (AAMA 501.1)
CNC machining centers cut profiles to ±0.2 mm length tolerance; punching and drilling are completed on the same fixture to maintain hole alignment within 0.3 mm across mating parts.

Installation and Commissioning Notes
Site installation by an experienced 3 person crew takes 5 days for a 40 m² standard gable sunroom. Critical steps:
- Foundation check: confirm 150 mm reinforced concrete slab with thermal break (EPS 100, 50 mm) at perimeter; tolerance ±5 mm level across bay.
- Sill plate installation: 3 mm EPDM gasket between aluminum sill and concrete; stainless steel M12 anchor bolts at 600 mm centers, 75 mm embedment.
- Frame erection: mullion to rafter connections via stainless steel corner keys; torque to 18 N·m with calibrated driver.
- Glazing install: dry glaze with EPDM gaskets, no silicone on primary seals; setting blocks at quarter points; 5 mm edge clearance for thermal movement.
- Flashing: pre-formed aluminum flashing with 150 mm upturn at wall, 75 mm downturn at eave; weep holes at 600 mm centers in sill.
- Water test: 600 L/m²/hr spray for 15 min, verify zero interior leakage per AAMA 501.1; rectify before sign-off.
- Hardware commissioning: cycle motorized vents 10 times, verify rain sensor triggers closure within 4 sec; calibrate thermostat to customer setpoint.
For projects without a trained installer, ROGENILAN ships an illustrated assembly manual with isometric drawings at 1:5 scale and a video walkthrough covering the same 7 steps. Field support by video call is included for first-time installers.
Product Range and Next Steps
The 4 season sunroom range complements the broader sunroom and solarium catalog, which includes lean-to, gable, Victorian, Edwardian, and bespoke conservatory styles. Glazing specifications align with the aluminum window range for thermal and structural continuity when sunrooms attach to existing fenestration. For openings larger than 6 m, aluminum folding doors integrate as the sunroom entrance or wall-to-wall aperture, sharing the same 6063-T5 extrusion alloy and Qualicoat finishes.
To request a configuration specific quotation, send project dimensions (length × projection × wall height), site location (for wind and snow load), and target winter interior temperature. Engineering drawings are returned within 5 working days; firm quotations within 8 working days. 阳光房 (sunroom) export documentation and certification packages are prepared in parallel with production to release within 3 days of container loading.
