Home improvements with blinds ‘more important than holidays’

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Home improvements with blinds 'more important than holidays'Property owners should always regard home improvements as more important than taking holidays, according to an expert.

Andrew Leech, director at the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC), said people should always consider putting DIY tasks, which may include the installation of roller blinds and patio awnings, ahead of indulging in a break abroad.

However, he explained that this often is not the case at this time of year.

Discussing home improvements, he added: “You could say they are more essential than going away for a holiday in this day and age.”

Mr Leech added that improvements which are popular at present include work on gardens and patios, which may include the installation of awnings or canopies.

Recent research published by Santander Mortgages found that first-time buyers spend an average of £3,782 on kitting out their new homes.

Nearly 60 per cent of respondents admitted to getting their properties fully furnished within 12 months.ADNFCR-3100-ID-19906965-ADNFCR

Retractable awnings ‘make sense to many homeowners’

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Retractable awnings 'make sense to many homeowners'People looking to ensure their homes remain cool in the summer months should consider investing in retractable awnings, according to experts.

James and Morris Carey of the Associated Press have outlined in an article for Post-Gazette.com that awnings designed using either aluminium or canvas are a top way for homeowners to reduce the impact of direct sunlight in homes.

They added that retractable systems can be particularly useful in comparison to traditional products, as they can easily be raised when not needed in the winter months.

Such benefits mean that investing in the products often “makes sense” to many people, the experts concluded.

DecoratingDiction.com recently suggested that roller blinds are an ideal investment for those looking to add window treatments throughout the home.

The website said that the products are often “attractive, convenient and functional”, while the range of colours they are available in makes them useful for all kinds of themes.ADNFCR-3100-ID-19906964-ADNFCR
