Tip #1 – Maintaining Your Windows
Whether you’re looking to replace your windows or simply maintain your existing ones, you’ll want to make sure that you spend springtime wisely by keeping them looking and performing at their best.
If you aren’t planning on replacements, consider window cleaning – either yourself or by calling in the professionals. Sometimes all it takes is a squeegee, some soapy water and a little elbow grease, and you’ll have sparkling windows. Clean windows are well performing windows too, so by keeping them looking good, you’ll decrease the chances of them underperforming and needing expensive repairs.
Tip #2 – Window Replacement
However, if your windows have let you down in the winter months, you might want to use spring as an opportunity to replace them. That way, you won’t have to face another round of cold snaps with older windows letting in draughts and allowing your warmth to escape.
Replacing your windows is a wise investment and an excellent way to maximise the performance of your home. If you’re thinking that the time has passed to be concerned about energy efficiency, there are plenty of other benefits to include too – including improved security to resist forced entry attempts and the style improvements of a rejuvenated home.
Tip #3 – A Fresh Coat of Paint
The winter months can take their toll on your home’s appearance, so spring is the perfect time to touch up any scratched or scuffed paintwork. That’s why our third tip for spring home improvements is to cast a close eye on your property and see what needs to be done.
Your front door is one element that you’ll want to take a good look at, as it will likely have suffered more than most – and it’s an important feature of your home to keep looking its best. When you come home after a long day it’s a reassuring sight, and when you welcome people in it makes a grand first impression – or at least, that’s how it should be. Make sure your door stays looking its best with a lick of paint and a little TLC.
Tip #4 – Open Up Your Space
Spring brings with it warmth, natural light and a pleasant feeling in the air, so why keep your home closed off to this? Some of the most popular home improvements like bifold doors are a great way to connect your inside and outside spaces and open your room up to the outside.
Aluminium bifold doors are one of the most popular and on-trend improvements. We here at Chigwell Window Centre manufacture these ourselves, so you can be sure that you’ll get the perfect doors to suit your expectations. Bifold doors feature vast panels of glazing, almost more like windows, so they allow natural light to fill your home whether open or closed. Plus, with smooth operation, it couldn’t be easier to open them up and let the fresh air flow in.
