HGTV taps Four Seasons Sunrooms
for "HGTV Design Star"

Sunroom Manufacturer Giving Away Featured Year-Round Sunroom at SunroomGiveaway.com

HOLBROOK, NY – Four Seasons Sunrooms, North America's premier sunroom, conservatory and window manufacturer was once more a key contributor to the top-rated reality television competition series "HGTV Design Star" on HGTV (Home and Garden television), America's leader in home and lifestyle television.

Now in its fifth season, "HGTV Design Star" features 12 competitive and creative designers, as well as an illustrious judging panel of acclaimed interior designers, including Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olsen and Vern Yip. This year, the producers of "HGTV Design Star", the well-known Mark Burnett Productions ("Survivor", "The Apprentice) tapped the popular sunroom and window manufacturer to supply three beautiful bronze Sun & Stars Cathedral sunrooms in historic Foley Square in lower Manhattan. Four Seasons previously supplied two of the same rooms in New York City's stunning Bryant Park for the final challenge of show's second season.

"Four Seasons was our first choice because they're the recognized brand leader in their field," Kevin Harris, executive producer of "DesignStar" at Mark Burnett Productions said. "Four Seasons builds high quality year-round sunrooms that are versatile and the perfect size for our needs on 'HGTV DesignStar'. Working with Four Seasons was great, as they were very flexible with our schedules, needs and the many demands of production."

"Four Seasons is pleased to provide some of its world-class sunrooms for "HGTV Design Star", James Ruppel, marketing director for the sunroom and window manufacturer said. "Shows like this help illustrate what hundreds of thousands of homeowners around the world experience every day: extraordinary year-round outdoor living, indoors, in climate-controlled comfort 365 days a year."

This season, the Sunroom Challenge was the stage for the showdown between the final three contestants on the show. The designers were tasked to design the glass sunrooms into inviting living spaces. Set amid the extraordinary surroundings of Foley Square, which includes the U.S., New York and International Trade courthouses, fronted by the Triumph of the Human Spirit Memorial, the Church of St. Andres, the New York Municipal Building and two Federal Office Building, the designers had just two days to turn the glass-walled sunrooms into beautiful designs.

"All the designers did amazing work with the Four Seasons Sunrooms," Ruppel said. "They really seemed to understand that Four Seasons Sunrooms are year-round living spaces that can match any design sensibilities for any room function. From family rooms, to dining rooms to bedrooms and kitchen additions, Four Seasons Sunrooms are real room additions that are anything but ordinary ... they're extraordinary. I would be pleased to have any of them design my sunroom. I'm looking forward to finding out which design won this year and who will be getting their own show on HGTV."

A team of Four Seasons personnel built the three sunrooms in a marathon 18-hour building session at Foley Square, left them up for three days for the shooting of the show and removed them overnight after the shoot. The sunroom and window manufacturer is now hosting a contest to give away one of the beautiful Cathedral-roofed sunrooms. Anybody in North America can win one of these glass-roofed sunrooms just by entering.

To enter, consumers simply need to visit SunroomGiveaway.com and upload a photo or video of their home and describe why they want a sunroom and how they would use it. To become a finalist, entrants simply need to get their friends to vote for their entry and they could be selected as one of the finalists in the contest. The final judging of the top-rated entries will be decided by a panel of experts at a later date.

"We built these sunrooms for a 'Design Star' and we would like a family somewhere in North America to own a piece of that history," Ruppel said. "There was a tremendous amount of interest from passersby when we built these rooms in New York City, but we didn't want to limit this to just New Yorkers, so everybody in North America has a chance to own a Four Seasons Sunroom through this contest."
