Boost Property Value: Enhance Your Home with Modern Windows and Doors

Learn how modern windows and doors can increase your property's value and enhance your home's overall appeal.

Unrenovated houses and apartments are a bad deal in two ways. If you want to sell them, the prices are in the basement, and if you want to live in them, the high utility costs become noticeable. Investing in modern windows and front doors, for example, is therefore beneficial for the owner from at least two perspectives.

What are the benefits of new windows and doors?

UPVC windows and doors from Oknoplast are now technically advanced products that can be customized to meet individual needs. The key points are:

  • Energy efficiency

  • Security

  • Aesthetics

  • Material

  • Soundproofing

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is currently the dominant topic. Well-insulated windows and doors are a constant. Once installed, they no longer change their properties. Energy prices, however, are a different story. If you insulate your home optimally, you are protected against both cold and heat. The energy efficiency gained reduces energy demand in both summer and winter, diminishing the impact of rising energy prices.

Security

Security is a persistent issue. The likelihood of becoming a victim of a burglary is relatively low. However, the psychological aftermath of a burglary can be significant for many victims. The trauma of having been a burglary victim often has long-lasting effects, sometimes even for a lifetime. You can prevent burglary attempts by investing in products with enhanced security and adjusting certain behaviors, such as not leaving windows tilted open when leaving the house or storing ladders in the garage instead of outside. Your local police station can also provide valuable tips on burglary prevention. Products with a resistance class of RC 2 already offer a significantly increased level of security. Contrary to popular belief, installed security technology in windows and doors does not affect energy efficiency or other areas.

Material

Windows and doors are typically made from UPVC, aluminum, or wood. UPVC products offer the best price-performance ratio. In terms of durability, robustness, price, and energy efficiency, these products are far ahead. Nowadays, UPVC products are almost entirely recyclable, making them a valuable contribution to environmental protection, as they can be reintegrated into the production process after recycling.

Soundproofing

Soundproofing can also be beneficial. Especially in bedrooms or children's rooms, it's important to be protected from outside noise, particularly at night. Negative influences on restful sleep can have long-term adverse effects on health by increasing stress levels. But living spaces should also be protected from excessive outside noise during the day. For example, if you live under an airport flight path or near a kindergarten, playground, or school, you can choose products with customized soundproofing.

Aesthetics

Last but not least, windows and front doors as part of the exterior facade have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the building. While white windows were once the standard in house and apartment construction, the trend has shifted toward gray or colored products. Gray or anthracite is particularly trendy, giving the house a fresh and modern appearance. Ultimately, aesthetics can influence the purchasing decision of potential buyers. The subtle investment in colored windows or doors could tip the scales for a potential buyer. However, for the residents themselves, it is also pleasant to live in an aesthetically appealing building.

Do new windows and doors have to be expensive?

This question is relatively easy to answer. No, they don’t have to be. The European internal market offers many opportunities to find affordable deals. Buying doors and windows from Poland is particularly attractive, as products from our neighboring country have been successfully represented in the international market for decades. The manufacturing costs are particularly low due to lower energy and labor costs, making the sales prices for the products very attractive. For example, if you want to buy doors, you can easily purchase custom-made doors online. The same applies, of course, to custom-made UPVC windows. However, make sure to have the measurements taken by an expert to be completely sure.
