Windows do a lot for your home, they take your home to a comfortable and relaxing state by letting in natural light and protecting you from outside influences. Many homeowners can benefit from replacement windows, no matter how old your home is. Replace your windows this spring for a more relaxing home. 

Surface Bella Restoration can replace your windows in a timely manner and install the most efficient and modern windows to protect your South Carolina home. Our team believes in enhancing the space you already have. 

Why Replace Your Windows In The Spring?

Spring is known for more mild temperatures where conditions are less harsh than winter or summer. Replacing windows in the spring is an optimal time because you will be able to notice signs of aging or wear on the frames after the winter season. For colder climates, windows are prone to cracking, so you will be able to fix these issues in the warmer spring months.

Replacing windows in the spring also means less strain on your energy system. More mild temperatures will mean that the temperature inside your home will be easier to maintain with your heating and cooling systems. So even while your windows are being taken out and resealed, your home will be able to stay at a more comfortable temperature. 

Quieter Indoor Spaces

Homeowners may not realize, but properly sealed windows and doors help to keep outdoor noise from taking over your home. Recent window advancements have even better sound-blocking technology that will help keep your home quiet if you live near a busy street or in a loud neighborhood. As more people are outside enjoying the weather, noise blocking is helpful if you work from home or just want some extra quiet during the day. 

Improved Security

Improperly sealed windows can lead to a higher risk of break-ins. Replace your windows and get better locking mechanisms to improve your security and your peace of mind. Besides preventing theft, when you have properly locked windows, you are also better protected from natural elements. Weather, moisture, bugs, and animals are all unable to access your home when you replace your windows.

Better Energy Efficiency And Home Temperature

More energy-efficient features are being put in modern windows. Replacing windows is a great choice if your energy bills have been higher in recent months. Window replacements have better insulation making it easier for your heating and cooling systems to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Being inside your home should mean that you are comfortable and relaxed, not fighting to stay warm or fanning yourself on hot days. If your indoor space does not have the controlled temperature you prefer, replace your windows. 

Enhanced Curb Appeal

If your windows are looking dirty, worn down, or have bacteria growth it can affect the value and curb appeal of your home. Improving the curb appeal of your home makes it more valuable which can help you out when you sell the home in the future. If you replace your windows, it can do a lot to improve the look of the exterior and interior of your home. 

More Natural Light In Your Home

The biggest benefit of having windows is to let natural light and more Vitamin D into your home. Windows that are dirty, dingy, cracked, or falling apart will not be able to let in as much light as new windows. Clear windows can help your home stay at a controlled temperature and still let you enjoy the sun. When it’s too hot to be outside, open the blinds and let your windows do the rest.

For homeowners that are remodeling their homes to feel more modern, the bathroom and shower can make a big impact on the overall design. Older bathrooms can feel dark so implementing lighter modern fixtures and modern shower remodel ideas can take the room to a more calming level. Focusing on your shower can help elevate your bathroom to feel like a spa. 

Surface Bella has seen many amazing bathroom designs that have come to life because of our work. Below are some shower remodel ideas that can help improve the value and aesthetics of your home. 

1- Implement Exposed Brick

Exposed brick or stone makes for a serene bathroom mood. Brick and stone can be installed in your shower for aesthetics but they are also fairly easy to clean or moisture and bathroom products. Tile and brick can make your bathroom look sophisticated and modern. While brick may not seem modern, it is becoming more popular to be partly exposed or installed to look like it was previously there and painted over. 

2- Double Shower Heads

Another big one on the list of shower remodel ideas is having wide showers, so if you live with a partner or spouse, double shower heads in a wide-standing shower are a beautiful implementation. Not only are they beautiful, but they can make your shower time more efficient. Both people can enjoy the water at their preferred temperature instead of sharing a stream of water. Many bathrooms are putting in rain shower heads or double showers to make the shower more immersive and feel expensive. 

3- Install A Skylight Or More Windows

Natural light in a bathroom will help you feel more refreshed. If you are worried about privacy and implementing more windows, a good option is a skylight. They give you privacy by being hard to see from neighbors or visitors but you still get natural light around the sink, shower, or bathtub. Skylights are also beautiful during rain storms and can be enjoyed during a relaxing bath. 

4- Include Built-in Shelving Or Cutout Storage

When you are looking for shower remodel ideas, don’t forget to think about storage during the process. Installing inset shelving or built-in storage helps your shower to look tidy when it is not cluttered with stick-on shelves or plastic hooks. Taking the time to think about how you can improve storage during your remodel will save you money down the road. Make sure to accurately measure the height and width of your shampoo, conditioner, and other products so that they will fit properly inside your shower.

5- Ditch The Combined Tub

Older homes have tubs that are connected to a shower and limit what you can do with the design of the shower. If you are someone who rarely uses your tub, or wants them to be separate experiences, ditch the combined design. Creating a standing shower without a tub and implementing new tiles will make the bathroom look more modern. 

If you still want a tub, adding a free-standing tub will help elevate your bathroom even more. Clawfoot tubs or round bowel tubs help your bathroom look sleek. One person can use the bath while the other uses the shower as well. 

6- Incorporate Greenery

While this may not have crossed your mind when developing shower remodels ideas, hanging eucalyptus or having plants in your shower can help with the air quality, increase energy, and improve your mental health. Some common plants that can be included in your shower are staghorn fern, English ivy, and the peace lily. Plants are a trend that homeowners can jump on, without the fear of it going out of style. Plants and greenery will always help elevate the look of a home.
