How uPVC products increase the value of your home

Small changes can make all the difference…

Are you looking to sell your home? While you’ve made good use of your home over the years and have become comfortable with the way it looks and feels, it might not be as fresh and as welcoming as you first think. When it comes to selling your home, a good first impression counts. That’s why, this month, City Glass Manchester are providing you with four key tips for ways you can use uPVC to help improve the value of your home: 

New uPVC windows

From the pictures which will inevitably be posted online, to people passing by in the street, once your home is up for sale it needs to make a good first impression from the outside. One way you can easily show you’ve cared for your home is by investing in new uPVC windows.

Not only will new windows offer a clean, sleek look to your home, but they’ll also give any potential purchasers peace of mind when it comes to thermal efficiency and heating bills. That’s one major thing ticked off their list before they’ve even set foot in the house.

We offer a full range of uPVC windows, take a look here.

New uPVC doors

Much like your windows, a fresh, strong door can put people’s minds at ease when viewing your home. It’s the one part of your home they’re definitely going to see more than once on a viewing so it’s worth the investment. uPVC doors come in a variety of colours and designs so there is something to match any style of home. As prospective buyers approach your home or pass it in the street, they’ll see a property which has been taken care of and which won’t need new doors to beef up security.

We offer a range of uPVC doors that are available in different styles and colours. Find out more here.

Add a uPVC conservatory

Whether it’s freezing outside or you’re enjoying a long, hot summer, a conservatory is always an excellent investment. Used year-round, it adds extra space to your home – which is always a surefire way to increase the value of your property – but it also adds a touch of luxury and elegance.

A warm and cosy space in winter, or a gateway to the garden in warmer weather, a uPVC conservatory is one of the best ways to add value to your home when looking to sell. If you’ve already got a conservatory, but it’s seen better days, consider replacing the roof to brighten the space up again. If this is too big an undertaking for you right now, there are some cheaper alternatives that are sure to make your space feel bigger and better.

Repair old uPVC guttering

You’ve heard the phrase “it never rains but it pours”? There is nothing worse than having a viewing lined up for a potential buyer, only for it to pour with rain, but if your guttering is damaged it will make matters worse by highlighting misaligned downpipes and leaky sections. Even if your guttering looks fine ordinarily, gaps, blockages and damage will be easy to spot when it rains.

Refresh your old guttering with new uPVC guttering to present a fresh look to your entire home or simply repair the areas which need attention to prevent a cascading waterfall on rainy days. 

While there are plenty of little things you can do to try and improve your chances of selling and to get the best price, the cost of investing in new uPVC fittings for your home can make a much bigger difference for potential buyers.
