At Abbey Windows, we understand that buying that all-important first home is a massive milestone. But you might be wondering how to renovate it and upgrade it, which will increase your market value.
We are experts at first home improvements and have nearly 40 years of experience. In this article, we will give you some essential tips on enhancing your first home. Read on to learn more.
Upgrade to Double Glazing
One of the major first home improvements that prolong the life of your new home is upgrading to double glazing. This is where two panes of glass are separated by argon gas, improving your home’s security, heat retention, and sound insulation.
When you choose Abbey, feel assured that double glazing is accredited as standard on all our products, so you will be able to stay safe against intruders and tough weather conditions. In addition, double glazing is thermally efficient, so cold air will be left outside. We offer a selection of aluminium, uPVC, and composite doors for you to consider.
A Solid Or Tiled Roof Will Enhance Your Conservatory
If your first home is available with a conservatory, there are ways you can upgrade it. For instance, installing one of our conservatory roofs will improve its thermal efficiency and save money on energy bills.
This new roof will make a profound difference to your home, blending in with the rest of the property and giving you plenty of natural warmth. As a result, you won’t need to use your central heating as much. Alternatively, a roof lantern will add value to your home. It brings clear views of the sky and enhances your home with natural light.
Lead Into Your Garden With A Bifold Door
If your first home has a garden, a bifold door will create an attractive focal point for your home. Available in an assortment of styles and colours, you can choose exactly how you want the door to look.
A bifold door is distinctive as it folds out like a concertina, letting ventilation and fresh air into your new property. It is versatile, giving you the option of choosing which way it opens and how many panels it has. If you are a family with children, the door creates a close connection to nature.
Get a Fan For Your Bathroom
Another way of getting ventilation in your home is through installing a fan in your bathroom. This is ideal to clear steam from a hot shower, which could lead to mould and mildew.
Invest in a quiet fan with a humidity sensor that will turn it on and off automatically. This is ideal for reducing any condensation in your home and helping you breathe easier.
Heat Flooring
In addition to security, it is essential that your home stays thermally efficient. One way you can do this is to add heated flooring to your home, which makes sure your home stays warmer for a long time. Radiant underfloor heating will make sure your brand new home is warm and comfortable for you to live in, and it’s paired well with most floors from bathroom to vinyl.
Radiant heat is a popular choice for homeowners all year round, and can also be useful if you have a conservatory too. As a result, the market value will increase.
Choose a Composite Door
You might be unsure about how secure your new home is. Thankfully, at Abbey, we can help. We work with Endurance Doors to deliver their range of composite doors. Composite doors are one of the most secure doors on the market, with built in multi point locking systems and advanced shootbolt techniques. This protects you from intruders and keeps you safe.
These front doors offer the best bits of aluminium and uPVC, so you get a door that is strong against tough conditions. They are easy to clean too. Wipe them down with a cloth and soapy water, and the doors look immaculate for years.
Composite doors can be designed in a range of styles and colours for your home. This will give you plenty of options to look at, so there is something that is right for you.
