During the spring and summer, many homeowners discover things that need to be repaired or upgraded when opening up their homes or taking a hit from a harsh storm. If you notice your windows are a bit drafty, if you'd like to let more natural light into your home, or you if want to improve your home's energy efficiency overall, here are three great options for you to consider.
Install Window Wrap
If you don’t need full window replacement at this time but would like to improve your home's efficiency, consider professional window wrap installation. Window wrap is a clear layer of plastic that we place over your windows to seal air leaks, reduce street noise, and prevent water infiltration. Overall, window wrap can make your home a more comfortable place to live all year long, keeping the heat out in the summer and in during the winter.
Add a Storm Door
This is the time to think about adding storm doors to your home. A storm door may be a cost-effective alternative to replacing your existing door. Storm doors offer an additional layer of security for your family, protection from outdoor elements, and insulation for your home. They are designed with multiple panels of glass to reduce heat transfer and to offer extra protection from strong winds, hail, rain, snow, and ice.
Storm doors fit snuggly within the doorframe to increase the home’s energy efficiency. They also give you the option of opening up your inside door and allowing the sunlight to flood into your home. If you choose to install a ventilating storm door, you’ll have a screen that allows for extra airflow.
Install a Sliding Door
Sliding doors offer several benefits for the home as well. The large glass panels can let a lot of additional light into the home. Having a large, clear view of the outdoors, as opposed to a closed, solid door or wall, will make your home feel larger and more open. Sliding doors are much wider than regular doors, making for a great access point when you need to move large items, like furniture, into or out of the home. If you add a sliding door to the back of your house, you can keep an eye on you kids while they play in the yard. Sliding doors can be installed with screens so you can open up the glass portion and let the air flow through the home for increased ventilation.
