Summer is finally here in the UK and we are starting to feel the heat, but is your home ready for all your summer plans?
The experts at East Midlands-based home improvements company, Stormclad know that homeowners will want to wow family and friends with the perfect home additions when hosting those all-important summer parties and gatherings.
John Evans, managing director at Stormclad, gives some hints and tips for the essential home additions this summer: “Bringing the outside in is key this time of year. No one wants to feel trapped in their home with the sun blazing outside. Investing in some key home improvement products will not only spruce up a home’s functionality, it will increase its overall aesthetic, property value and kerb appeal and, most importantly, it will be the talk of the street!
“We’ve put together a few key home improvement features that we think are well worth a homeowner’s time and money this summer – after all, there’s no time like the present.”
Patio doors
Bi-fold doors and French doors are great choices for new patio doors if you want to open up your home into the garden.
Bi-fold doors can range from having one door open to a whole side of your room open, for a seamless connection to your garden, patio or balcony. Why not have some stunning bi-fold doors wide open on a warm day to enjoy the sun whilst remaining cool inside? Or perhaps you simply want to enjoy a wide view of your garden, no matter what the weather’s like outside?
Homesandgardens names French doors as the ‘timeless solution’ for your new patio door; like bi-fold doors, a range of materials can be used to suit traditional or modern designs. French doors can be installed to open inwards or outwards, and they can also be designed to open all the way for better ventilation if your home gets too hot.
Conservatories
The ideal spot for all your gatherings this summer, conservatories can be the designated zone for all the summer fun this year! With instant access to the garden, you have the choice to keep the party inside or take it into the sun outside. There are a range of styles conservatories come in, from aluminum to timber effect to p-shaped, to fit your home’s existing interior and exterior design.
Modern materials, such as SmartGlass technology, promise a comfortable temperature all year round so that when it is hot outside, the sun rays coming in are regulated; that way, it doesn’t get too warm. Conservatories’ flexible designs also mean they are ideal for a variety of uses and can be utilized all year round.
Verandas
This addition could be a revolutionary external addition to your home, especially in Britain with the constant weather changes. If you don’t want to go all out with a new conservatory, verandas are the perfect minimalist version.
If it starts raining during your summer BBQ or garden catch ups, verandas are the optimum, permanent shelter solution for alfresco summer gatherings.
Verandas come in a variety of styles and colours to match your personal taste and your home providing effective and stylish cover, whilst also allowing you to extend your time in the garden and get the most out of those glorious summer evenings.
