An article on the Mavroules site focuses on improvements that can be made to verandas, which are outdoor living spaces often used for socializing and dining during warm weather months. One option is to transform them into living spaces suited to any season. This begins with a heating system that works well with open-air sides.
The most efficient solution for this is infrared box heaters, which may be secured to the walls or attached to a veranda overhang. Deploying radiant heat, the heaters strategically warm people and specific objects, rather than the air itself. Lacking an open flame, infrared heaters tend to run on economical electricity or natural gas and are safe for use in a semi-enclosed space.
Another option that helps block wind and retain warmth while providing nighttime privacy is a rolling privacy shading. Simple to install, these are often fashioned from lightweight wood such as matchstick bamboo, which can reach nearly 100 inches in length.
