Home ownership is an important milestone in anyone’s life.  A house is a place to build memories, build a family, and build a home.  Yet, it is also a way to build equity, and build on your initial investment.

That investment, however, requires some maintenance.  A home is like a garden, it does not age well unless you tend to it.  Therefore, the best way to increase the value of your home is to continue investing in it.

Of course, that means doing renovations  from time to time.  In 2017 and 2018, it was reported that almost half of Canadians in all provinces did some home improvement or repair projects in their home.

On average, in 2018, all Canadians planned to spend an average of $11,000 on their home, with Ontarians spending the most at $13,600 in home improvements.  Typically, the top renovation projects included

Interestingly, as many as 71% of Canadians feel that home renovations are a good way to keep busy in retirement, but 45% of those over 55 years old prefer to hire a contractor, rather than do the work themselves.

Moreover, with renovation projects that require additions to a home, or new windows, Canadians are more and more interested in having windows installed with architectural window film.

Home Improvements are a Great Time to Think About New Technology and Energy Efficiency

Of course, your home renovation, beyond repairing known issues, is an opportunity to increase the look and appeal of your home, to update it to current interior fashion, and to make your home more energy efficient using the latest technology.

Those efficiencies can come in the form of faucets that use less water; green-minded HVAC systems; insulation that keeps more heat in during the winter, and keeps the cool air in during the summer; and, finally, windows that are energy efficient so that you can lower your utility bills.

As you may know, windows are the worst offenders when it comes to heating or cooling your home.  Glass windows, particularly when the seal of the window is not perfect, simply allow more air in and out of your home than any other surface on your home.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a product that made windows more energy efficient, while having additional aesthetic benefits too?  Enter the answer to those needs – architectural window tinting.
