Considered APPROACH

The well-maintained exterior of a home sits nicely within the landscape and is not only lovely to come home to, but may also add to the value of a property. Success is dependent on a carefully considered combination of form and function. Here, we provide a guide on creating a stylish first impression.

Choosing to repair or replace windows can lift and brighten a home’s exterior, though do bear in mind that new regulations demand that replacements now meet strict thermal efficiency guidelines. This need not affect those looking for sympathetic period styles as there are plenty of quality reproductions available. Specialist companies such as Architectural Bronze Casements specifically cater for older or listed buildings, however, do check with planners before changing the outward appearance of a property as permission may be required.
