ARCADIA 3248+4 in NEW HAMPSHIRE
Photo Tour
The Arcadia 3248+4 measures 32' by 48'. This largest Arcadia home gives room for large master bath and walk-in closet. Four additional courses of timber incease the head room and allow the sunspace floor to be on the same level as the main floor.
Metal grates are installed in the Sunspace floor before the tile is set. These grates allow the completion of the air-flow loop as air that has passed through the channels below the roof and down through the north wall airshaft pass through the basement and then back into the Sunspace to be reheated.
The medallion is 41" square and is called "Rosone." The tiles were made in Italy by Delconca. Each medallion is hand made and must be ordered several weeks in advance. The tiles come in four sections on a mesh backing, so installation is fairly easy.
Tile is a great choice for the Sunspace. Darker tile holds heat, and many styles are available.
