Is Your Doorway In Need Of A Makeover?

Over time and after years of harsh weather, your doorway may be in need of a little TLC. Your doorway is noticed by many people as the entrance, and in some ways is the showcase feature of your home. Giving the entrance to your home a little bit of TLC will increase it’s curb appeal, and keep it looking in tip top condition.

There are a number of ways you can improve the appearance of your doorway, but the most beneficial would be replacing your old door. Over time some doors will stop working as well as they should do, and will no longer be able to work to the best of their ability. Doors may start creating horrible draughts and allow them to enter your home, and in the winter months this can be a nightmare.

Depending on how old your door is, you may not be up to date with the latest in door technology with such things like security systems. Security for homes is getting developed as we speak, and keeping up to date with your security will protect your home and the people inside against intruders.

There are many types of doors available, one of which are coloured doors. Coloured doors are great for adding an eye-catching addition to your home, which also look elegant and contemporary. 

You can improve the appearance of your home with small additions such as door knockers and  handles, which are available in a large number of designs, colours and finishes. You can also get these bespoke, so they are to your exact requirements, however these may be a little more costly.

How To Ensure Your Home Is Ready For Winter

As the winter months are closely drawing in, everyone notices the leafs on the ground, cloudy days, and the sudden drop in temperature. But what else do most home owners notice about winter? Most will recognise draughts entering under doors and through old windows which may need replacing, the lack of natural light, quick escaping warm air from inside their home, and most importantly - the artificial heating being put on daily, if not almost hourly.

Winter can be an extremely expensive month for home owners especially when home improvements may need to be done. It’s easy for your energy bills to quickly rack up during winter as the harsh cold weather will try its best to enter your home.

In order for you to save money on your energy bills instead of having to pay more, it’s a good idea to make sure your windows and doors are up to scratch and are benefiting you rather than putting your out of pocket.

Modus windows are a great way to update your already existing windows which may be failing you. Installing new modus windows and doors will ensure you’re getting what you are paying for. Over time they will help you save money on your energy bills, and possibly prevent you from even turning on your artificial heating in the first place.

Over the winter months you will also notice a lack of natural light entering your home. To fix this issue, you could look into installing a rooflight. (Rooflights are also brilliant in the summer months too!) They are great for brightening up and room and creating a really fresh look and feel. As natural light is limited during winter, with a rooflight you can ensure you’re making the most of whatever sunlight their is. This will also play a big part in reducing the cost of your energy bills as it will make you less likely to turn on any artificial lighting.
