As the autumn nights begin to draw in and temperatures outdoors start to drop, you may have started to think about prepping your home for winter.
Cosy knits, warm log fires and gingerbread lattes may have you looking forward to the months ahead but the cold weather can also be a hindrance, especially when it has a negative impact on your home.
Fortunately, there are several things you can do to help make your home more cosy and inviting this autumn.
Here’s four home improvement ideas you may want to consider before the freezing cold weather sets in:
1. Update your windows and doors
Harsh weather conditions can take their toll on your home’s exterior over the years which means components such as your windows and doors may not be insulating your home as well as they once used to.
Replacing your old windows and doors can help to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce the cost of your energy bills, which could save you money in the long run!
2. Invest in a front porch
If you’ve ever noticed a cool draft coming from your entranceway, a porch could be exactly what your home needs. Investing in a porch will help to keep your hallway more insulated and can also keep out any unwanted drafts throughout winter.
You’ll not only be grateful for the extra layer of warmth come winter, but a porch also serves as the perfect place to store your winter coats and boots!
3. Replace your conservatory roof
If your conservatory wasn’t a recent investment, you may find that during the winter months in can become unbearably cold. If you tend to avoid your conservatory throughout the cooler months, a solid tiled roof could be the perfect solution.
Replacing your existing conservatory roof with a solid roof helps to make your living space more thermally efficient, so you can enjoy your conservatory all year round, even in winter.
4. Increase your living space
There’s no doubt you’ll probably be spending more time indoors as winter arrives, although by doing so, it may make you realise you’re lacking space at home.
Investing in a conservatory or orangery could offer you a whole host of possibilities and provide you with much needed extra room which the whole family can take advantage of.
Now is the perfect time to make changes to your home as you could get up to 50% off windows and doors plus, save £1000 off a brand new conservatory or orangery. View all our offers today or visit our Swindon showroom for more information.
