Our home is the one place we feel relaxed in, and therefore, we do our best to make it better in every way. There are many areas of your house that you can improve if you want to make it look better and also make it safe for your family. Here are a few tips to help you make your home better.
Walls – interior and exterior
Painting the exterior and interior of your house with bright colors is always recommended. Light colors do not absorb heat and therefore will keep your home cooler. For the interior, the shades like which or light blue will make your rooms look spacious and brighter, and you will not have to use the lights all the time.
Decks, Poolside, walkways, and driveway
Most of us will have either concrete, asphalt or tiles in these areas. If your home is old, you may be noticing cracks in the concrete and asphalt. Tiles break rather easily too. You can consider using a rubber surfacing solution from Full Circle Landings LLC which can be used for any of the area mentioned above.
The benefits of rubber surfacing
There is a range of advantages to using this method than other and here are a few of them.
Cost
Rubber surfacing is often done with recycled rubber which costs less that concrete or asphalt. It is also a way of helping the reduction of greenhouse gasses because you will be using recycled materials.
Safe
The surface will be much safer than a concrete floor and in the case of a fall will not hurt you like a concrete surface. The material itself is self-draining and will not accumulate any puddles and therefore is great for the pool side.
Garden
Make sure you keep your garden clean. You should never leave it unattended for too long. You should consider trimming any trees, plants or bushes and mowing the lawn twice a month so that it does not get out of control.
Windows and doors
Make sure your windows and doors are well sealed when you closed them. This will help retain heat during cold months and the air conditioning during warm months. In case there are large gaps between the frames and the wall, you can attach rubber liners which are designed for this particular purpose.
It is important that you keep your house well maintained and not leave anything unattended. If you do, the problems will compound, and you will have to spend more for repairs.
