Adding new doors and windows to your patio? Here’s why you should install screens as well.

Renovating your patio by installing new windows and doors is a great way to modernise the façade of your home, and optimise your living spaces. During the installation process, it can be a worthwhile investment to add screens to your windows and doors, in order to enjoy the wide array of benefits they provide. As experts in window and door screens, By GOBO outlines four crucial reasons why you should consider installing screens on your patio.  

Enhanced Comfort and Visibility

Installing new windows gives you the opportunity to enjoy the views that surround your property, while also keeping your home safe and secure. However, there are inevitably going to be times when you want to provide protection from outside elements, such as harsh sunshine or light rain. Screens ensure that you can still receive some protection from the elements, even when your windows are open. This means you can enjoy your patio year-round.  

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Installing screens on your sun room windows can also lead to cost savings on your energy bill. Screens allow you to keep your windows open more often for ventilation, by preventing insects from entering. This can reduce the need for air-conditioning on warmer days. They also provide shade and filter sunlight, further reducing heat gain inside your home. Furthermore, screens promote natural cross-ventilation, ensuring that cool breezes are being carried to other parts of your house.

Improved Health and Wellbeing

Screens allow you to keep your windows open, meaning that you are able to enjoy the benefits of increased airflow in your home – therefore improving the air quality by reducing the potential for stagnation and humidity buildup. This can effectively improve the health of you and your family. Furthermore,  screens like the ones we install at By GOBO, still allow natural light to enter, which is mood-boosting and can enhance overall wellbeing.

Increased Property Value

One appealing benefit that window and door screens provide for your home is a possible increase in property value and aesthetic appeal. Screens create an inviting outdoor living space that can be enjoyed year-round, adding functional square footage to your home. This space is often a selling point for prospective buyers and increase your property value.
