Say Dev opens a spreadsheet on a Sunday night. Column A says width, column B says door style, column C says color. He’s got a $9,000 ceiling in his head, a wife who wants “something with glass,” and eight browser tabs open. He’s about to find out the numbers on this page are surprisingly tidy.

Short version: the Sola Spaces solariums sold through Slat Solution run from $6,749 on sale up to $8,995, depending on three choices. Here’s what each choice adds, in plain numbers, so you can fill in your own spreadsheet.

What Do the Listed Prices Look Like?

The Vistas sliding door model comes first. White 12 ft is $6,749 on sale, down from $6,995. White 16.7 ft is $7,249 on sale, down from $7,495. In black, the 12 ft is $7,995 and the 16.7 ft is $8,495.

Then the Brisas bifold door model. White 12 ft is $7,249 on sale, from $7,495. White 16.7 ft is $7,749, from $7,995. Black is $8,495 for the 12 ft and $8,995 for the 16.7 ft. Those are the numbers Dev types into column D.

What Does Each Choice Add?

Width

Going from 12 ft to 16.7 ft adds $500 every single time, in both series and both colors. That’s 4.7 extra feet of width for $500. Dev likes that one. It’s the cheapest upgrade on the page, by a long way.

Door Style

Bifold costs $500 more than sliding at every size and color. White 12 ft is $7,249 against $6,749, and black 12 ft is $8,495 against $7,995. So the wall that folds open has a clear price tag, and it never changes.

Color

Black costs $1,246 more than the white model’s sale price, in every size and every series. That’s the biggest single jump on the page. A dark frame might be worth it to you, but it’s good to know exactly what it costs.

What About the Sale Savings?

All four white models show a markdown of $246 from their old prices. The black models show no markdown at all. So if Dev picks white, he gets the sale, and if he picks black, he pays the listed price. Sales can change, so check the page when you buy.

Shipping is free on US orders, and the site lists no hassle returns. Those two don’t show up as spreadsheet columns, but they matter. Free shipping on something this big saves you from a line item you’d otherwise have to guess at.

How Do the Pergolas Compare?

The same page also lists louvered roof glass pergolas. The Cielos is $10,000 for 13 ft by 10 ft and $12,000 for 20 ft by 10 ft, and the Aire is listed at $13,000. Even the cheapest pergola costs about $1,005 more than the priciest sunroom.

That’s not a knock on pergolas. They have an adjustable roof for sunlight, shade, airflow and rain protection, which the sunrooms don’t list. Different structure, different price. If Dev’s ceiling is $9,000, though, only the sunrooms fit it.

Which Combination Gives the Most Room per Dollar?

Here’s some more of my own math. The Vistas white 12 ft at $6,749 works out to about $562 per foot of width. The Vistas white 16.7 ft at $7,249 works out to about $434. So the wider model gives you more room for each dollar, at least counted by width.

Depth isn’t listed on the page, so that’s a rough yardstick, not a full square foot figure. Still, it shows why width is the smartest upgrade. The extra $500 buys a lot more than it first seems to.

What Would Dev’s Budget Look Like in Three Builds?

Build one is the cheapest, a white sliding 12 ft at $6,749. Build two steps up to the white sliding 16.7 ft at $7,249. Build three stacks every extra: start at $6,749, add $500 for width, add $500 for bifold doors and add $1,246 for black. That lands at $8,995.

The gap between cheapest and priciest is $2,246. Dev’s wife votes for build two. Dev, privately, votes for build three. They’ll settle it over dinner, probably, with the spreadsheet open and nobody quite winning.

What Isn’t on the Page?

I didn’t find installation pricing, foundation details or permit information anywhere on the page. That’s a real gap for a budget. Dev’s $9,000 ceiling sits just $5 above the priciest sunroom, so any extra cost could push him over, and he should ask before he commits.

Call (858) 209 4555 Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., write to [email protected], or use the request a quote page. Installation instruction videos are on the site too, which at least show what a build involves.

Where Can You See Them All?

The Solariums sit together on the collection page, so Dev can check each number from this article against the listing. Seeing both series and both widths in one place makes it easier to spot which combination fits.

Customers rate the company 4.6 out of 5 across 313 reviews. That covers the whole company, not just the glass line, so take it as a general sign. The glass line itself is newer, though Slat Solution has over 20 years in the wall covering industry.

How Should You Decide?

Here’s a funny coincidence. A white 16.7 ft sliding model and a white 12 ft bifold model both cost $7,249. So Dev’s real question is simple. Does he want more width, or doors that fold open? Same money, two different rooms.

Say his wife loves the idea of the front wall disappearing on warm evenings. Bifold wins, at 12 ft. Say they host a lot of people. The wider sliding model might win. A tape measure and ten minutes of honest talk will settle it better than any spreadsheet.

Does the Price Feel Fair?

That depends on what you compare it with. The page calls it smart expansion, a cost effective way to add bright, functional space with the best value per square foot. I can’t match it against a contractor’s quote for you, so get one and set the two side by side. Solariums with real tempered glass and aluminum frames aren’t a bargain bin purchase, but at least the pricing is easy to follow.

Final Thoughts

The pricing is more logical than it looks. Width adds $500, bifold adds $500, and black adds $1,246 over the white sale price. Add up your choices, ask about installation, and you’ll know your real number. Dev’s spreadsheet finally makes sense.
