The façade of your home is something that can be changed. It is often not the first thing you think about when purchasing and settling into a home. But, choosing the right one will help your home to look fantastic.
It can also improve its ability to retain heat and reduce your energy bills as well as protect your building from the elements.
This makes it an important investment; you’ll need to choose the right façade carefully.
Choose a Firm
The first step is to find a CGS facade firm local to you that can offer you a choice of facades. They will also allow you to see buildings they have previously done. In fact, they may even be able to use digital technology to give you a visual image of what your home could look like.
A reputable firm will provide you with a quality product that will last for years; it’s worth paying a little more for this!
Style
It’s important to consider the style you want and the style of the properties in your area. If your vision is very different from the other properties you may need to get planning permission.
Facades can be created in almost any material you can imagine; this makes it easy to get carried away. You need to choose one that makes you happy, but that doesn’t wind your neighbors up too much.
The material choice is just as important. Metal can look fantastic but may not be appropriate in a 50’s suburb. You need to speak to the experts to help balance your desires with practicality; there will be a viable solution.
Color
Gone are the days when a façade had to be white vinyl or stained timber. You can now have virtually any color you wish. Again you need to consider your neighbors but this is a great opportunity to place your own unique stamp on your property.
Most of the colors are built into the product; meaning you’ll never need to worry about repainting or re-coloring your façade.
Mixing It Up
You don’t need to stick to one style or color. Use digital imagery to picture your property with several different facades on it. You can even add a feature wall or section to draw attention to a specific item.
Experiment in digital to ensure you buy the right façade for your personal style.
Landscape It
There is little point in replacing the façade of your building without looking at landscaping the yard. You need to tidy your yard, add key features that draw people’s eyes to the façade and even use lighting to improve the effect.
Lights can make your façade look spooky or to illuminate and make it look welcoming; while not tempting to potential criminals.
Consider The Future
It’s great to have the opportunity to place your own stamp on a property. However, you also need to consider how long you intend to live there. If the answer s short term then your façade must take into consideration what potential buyers would like.
This will help you to sell your house; should you need to.
