A Property To Envy With Flat Roof Skylights

Flat roof skylights are becoming incredibly popular in properties of all types. Whether residential or commercial properties, skylights are becoming must-have features that can also bring a wealth of benefits to the interiors of the buildings they are placed on.

The skylights that we know today first originated during the industrial revolution, which brought about the mass production of glass. Since that point, there have been several changes to improve the appearance and efficiency of skylights. In fact, we have seen the roofing industry in general progress, from EPDM roof kits to changes in insulation.

Ideas for My Office

Some of you may know that earlier this year, we bought a house and had it renovated which included the windows and garden. We have now been living in our home for just over a week, and I’ve turned my attention to my office! It was not supposed to be my office as it was originally going to be my son’s bedroom but we decided it would be better served as a guest room by buying a sofa bed. Currently, it is a dumping ground for all our belongings!

Easy Upgrades that Add Value to Your Home

Day to day, few of us consider the value of our house. When we’re on the lookout for a new property, the cost is one of the first things that we consider. Aside from the very lucky few, we’ve got a budget to stick to after all, and there’s no point in wasting time, and getting excited about houses that you could never afford to buy. But, once you are in and settled, you don’t think about how the changes that you are making are affecting the value of your home. You don’t believe that this is something that you need to consider if you’ve got no intention of selling anytime soon.

Improving Our Home with Windows4You

Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed. One such item on the report was that the windows needed maintenance. One of the bedroom windows was not able to open fully and there were a couple which were leaking air into the house!

I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.

Killer Hacks For Busy Bathrooms

Every room in the house has its own quirk. The living room is where you chill, the kitchen is where you socialise, and the garage is the place to workout when you can’t be bothered going to the gym. The bathroom’s thing is that it’s busy, like super-busy. Whether it’s 8:30 am or 8:30 pm, it’s either occupied or someone is knocking on the door waiting to get in.
