Get into springtime early this year with new windows and doors that will enhance your home’s curb appeal. With today’s tariff conflicts between Canada and the US causing uncertainty in our property markets, now’s a great time to have your house looking its best if selling is on your mind.
If you’re happy at home and simply wanting to upgrade, making your home more beautiful will uplift your community with its enhanced curbside appeal.
Here are a few ideas to get you started on your spring home improvements, focusing on new windows and doors:
Current Design Trends: Subtle and Timeless
For the upcoming decade, home curb appeal is shifting toward subtlety. Bold and loud designs are out, while muted colors and natural wood elements are in.
Exterior styles will range from minimalist to cozy, with a perfect balance where new windows and entry doors enhance any home’s aesthetic.
But remember, subtle doesn’t mean fragile. Today’s buyers want beauty paired with durability. Opt for sturdy, low-maintenance materials for windows and doors that stand the test of time.
Materials to Match Contemporary Tastes
If your home is suited to a timber theme, consider these:
- Terracotta is tough and beautiful, a world-wide favorite.
- Thermally modified wood is durable and gaining popularity in North America.
For doors, another practical and popular choice today is the composite door. These doors have a glass reinforced polyester skin and a high-density foam core. This combination offers resistance to the elements and superior insulation. Plus, you’ll have a wide range of choices regarding the finish.
Regarding windows, vinyl, aluminum, wood, fiberglass, and composite materials all have strong points:
- Vinyl is affordable, low maintenance, and resistant to both moisture and fading.
- Aluminum is lightweight and strong, low-maintenance and won’t corrode.
- Wood has a classic look and provides solid insulation.
- Fiberglass frames are long-lasting and resist moisture and pests. Their low thermal conductivity makes them energy efficient.
Energy Efficient Windows
Better frames provide superior insulation. Vinyl or fiberglass frames are more energy efficient than metal, which conducts heat easily. Energy efficient windows have their own design, which may mean reshaping the rough opening where a window goes to accommodate the insulative power of its frame.
Don’t be discouraged by the costs because the Ontario Government has launched a Home Renovations Savings Program! You can save $100 per window or door.
Also, your great-looking home will accrue value with all these upgrades.
