When it comes to increasing the value of your home, one of the most effective ways to enhance its look and functionality is by incorporating glass. From sleek shower enclosures to energy-efficient double glazing, glass can completely transform your living space, making it more appealing to buyers and boosting your property’s overall worth.
In this post, we’ll explore how professional glass additions and upgrades can elevate key areas of your home, helping you reach that higher sale price.
How to increase the value of your home
Let’s look at what changes and upgrades can be made in your home with glass to improve your property’s value.
Invest in a bathroom refit
Bathrooms can make a huge difference to the value of your home. There are few ways to put a person off buying your property faster than an outdated, cracked bathroom. Throw some damp damage into the mix and your home’s value will immediately plummet.
Renovating an old bathroom is an investment that will bring a bountiful return. A new toilet, sink, and glass shower enclosure can transform your home and add to its final value. Opt for easy-to-clean fixtures and a uniquely designed shower enclosure to fit the space perfectly.
Improve the kitchen
Everyone knows that the kitchen is the heart of the home with its warmth and constant use. People typically gravitate toward this room, so it’s essential that it looks good and works even better. While a kitchen doesn’t necessarily need to be completely up-to-date to be attractive and functional, it’s important that anyone spending time there has a good experience.
Invest in creating good lighting with roof windows like Velux windows and skylights, and replace anything too outdated in design or use. Add elements that make it an easy space to clean, such as glass splashbacks behind the hob and sink. This will make cleaning these often-stained spaces a simple task, and no one will need to worry about stained tile grout. Adding splashbacks is an affordable way to update the kitchen.
Upgrade to double-glazing
If you don’t already have double-glazed units in your home, you’re missing out on a good chunk of property value. Double-glazing has a long list of benefits, including saving you money on your energy bills, keeping your home at the ideal temperature, and looking good.
Homes with double-glazed windows fetch a higher price than if they went without, so be sure to consider this if you’re hoping to increase your home’s overall value. We here at Norwich Glass are specialists in double-glazing, so reach out to us if you’re thinking about upgrading your windows.
Add a balcony or update your existing balcony
Balconies aren’t just sought after in holiday rentals and hotels; a balcony on a home is nothing but a benefit. People seek outside space, especially if there’s no garden, which a balcony can offer. A beautiful glass balcony also increases kerb appeal, an added bonus when it comes to property value.
According to Property Price Advice, a roof terrace or balcony can add more than one-tenth of the value of a property. They also typically sell much faster, so it’s worth looking into having a balcony built or upgrading your current balcony to have stunning glass balustrades.
