Wooden shutters: End of summer ‘may inspire home improvements’

Once the winter months start to get closer, people may spend more of their time thinking about making home improvements, according to one expert.

Andrew Leech, director of the National Home Improvement Council, suggests that kitchens and bathrooms are among the areas that people might seek to improve in the near future, which may interest those considering the use of wooden shutters.

“People will be taking a more positive attitude towards their properties and thinking about new kitchens and new bathrooms and hopefully also energy improvements too,” he commented.

Draft proofing is another improvement that consumers may look to make in order to prepare for the colder winter months to come, Mr Leech went on to suggest.

His remarks follow the publication of GfK Retail and Technology UK statistics this week, which have shown that the country’s DIY and gardening market values went up by 2.1 per cent last month.
