Advice given to owners of older property on green home improvements
Tips on green home improvements for traditionally-built houses and cottages have been released in a guide written by the Peak District National Park Authority. A leaflet entitled Sustainability and Historic Buildings is now available for people looking for advice on making their home more energy-efficient without reducing its charm. John Sewell, the body's Historic Buildings Architect, said one of the best methods was to fit insulation and draught-proof windows. Those who do not wish to damage the special character of their home may choose to use heavy curtains and shutters in place of double-glazing, he continued. Meanwhile, householders may consider using natural materials to insulate their properties such as hemp or sheep's wool, as these will prevent condensation while modern substances can actually cause damp, the expert stated. Updating older abodes to make them more energy-efficient could increase their value, as the National Home Improvement Show recently noted as much as five per cent could be added to the asking price of homes if environmentally-friendly technologies are installed. http://news.wickes.co.uk/advice-given-to-owners-of-older-property-on-green-home-improvements-1496 |
