Increasing Your Home's Value with Double Glazing: A Wise Investment

When it comes to increasing the value of your home, making strategic investments is key. One such investment that offers numerous benefits is double glazing. While double glazing is well-known for its energy efficiency and insulation properties, it can also significantly enhance the value of your property.

In this blog post, we will explore how double glazing can increase your home's value and why it is a wise investment.

1. Improved Energy Efficiency:
   
   Energy efficiency is a major focus for home buyers in today's market. Double glazing is highly regarded for its ability to reduce heat loss during winter and moderate heat gain during summer. By installing double-glazed windows, you create a more thermally efficient home, resulting in a comfortable living environment with lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills. The energy-saving benefits of double glazing make your property more appealing to potential buyers, as they recognize the long-term cost savings associated with an energy-efficient home.
   

2. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal:
   
   Curb appeal plays a crucial role in attracting potential buyers and increasing the value of your home. Double glazing is something that can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your property. Installing new aluminium joinery introduces sleek frames, clean lines, and modern designs, while retrofitting double glazing into existing aluminium joinery upgrades the appearance and creates solid and secure joinery. Retrofitting double glazing into your existing timber joinery allows the character of timber joinery to be retained, which is an extremely important aspect of many homes. Double glazed windows add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your home's exterior. The fresh and updated appearance, either in timber or in aluminium, creates a positive first impression, making your property stand out in the competitive real estate market.
   

3. Noise Reduction:
   
   Living in a quiet and peaceful environment is highly desirable for many homebuyers. Double glazing offers excellent sound insulation, reducing the amount of external noise entering your home. Whether it's traffic, nearby construction, or everyday neighbourhood noise, Eversure’s Safe+Sound range of double-glazed windows will help create a tranquil indoor atmosphere. The noise reduction feature adds value to your property, as it provides potential buyers with the added benefit of enjoying a calm and serene living environment.
   

4. Increased Property Security:
   
   Home security is a top priority for homeowners and homebuyers alike. Single glazed joinery can be a weak point in an otherwise secure home due to brittle glass, flimsy profiles and worn-out window components. Eversure’s double glazing solutions include new window components and double glazing units specified to the current safety standards, resulting in far more secure joinery. In situations where maximising security is a priority, Eversure’s Safe+Sound range of double glazing provides an extra layer of security due to its sturdy construction. This added security feature is attractive to potential buyers who are looking for a safe and secure living environment, ultimately increasing the value of your property.
   

5. Long-Term Durability:
   
   Aluminium and timber joinery are the most common types of joinery in Wellington for a reason, they last! Aluminium joinery is both resistant to weathering and very low maintenance. It’s installed into most new builds today and has now been used in New Zealand for over 50 years, proving it’s a durable, long-term solution. In the case of timber joinery, if it’s maintained correctly, timber joinery actually has the longest expected service life out of all joinery options. The methods that Eversure has developed for installing double glazing into existing homes, ensures that the longevity of your frames won’t be compromised. Homebuyers recognise the value of investing in homes with joinery that is durable and will remain in excellent condition for years to come. Eversure’s EverCare range of double glazing also helps prolong the life of your carpet, furniture and other belongings by reducing harmful UV rays.

When it comes to increasing the value of your home, investing in double glazing is a wise decision. The improved energy efficiency, enhanced property appeal, noise reduction, increased security, and long-term durability of double-glazed windows make your property more desirable to potential buyers. Not only does double glazing offer practical benefits such as reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills, but it also enhances the overall comfort and liveability of your home.
