Sounds daft doesn?t it, but according to English Heritage, the UK is under attack from the scourge of speed bumps, satellite dishes and ? you guessed it, UPVC double glazing!
It sounds like scare mongering if you ask me, especially since there are already stringent planning permission regulations governing properties in conservation areas and Outstanding Natural Beauty spots.
Plus, lets us not forget the impressive green credentials of double glazing; the energy saving benefits alone are enough reason to see why home owners up and down the country are opting for UPVC.
Of course in today?s competitive market, there are always options, not least the development of ?woodgrain look? UPVC which many glazing companies have started to stock.
With today?s technology, sound proofing and better insulating your home doesn?t have to get ugly, you simply have to think outside the box a little in order to keep everyone happy.
Everyone knows that when looking to sell their home, that a quick coat of magnolia and the smell of freshly brewed coffee and can work wonders, but if your potential buyers were put off before they?d even removed their shoes, you?re fighting a losing battle.
It?s a recognised statistic that the average person sums-up a stranger within 3 seconds of meeting them. First impressions are vital to get right and in home owning terms, that starts at the front door.
Replacing shabby or damaged exterior doors can make a big difference to the superficial impressions that apparently many potential buyers base their decisions on.
Smart replacement doors need not cost the earth, many double glazing installers will be falling over themselves to help and it?s a surprisingly effective and quick fix that could just give you the edge when selling your home.
If thinking of upgrading your curb appeal, think about the following: safety, durability, design and budget and then it?s just a case of sourcing a first class double glazing supplier.
