When it comes to home improvement, most exterior projects aim to accomplish two things: boost beauty and enhance comfort. Sacrificing one for the other shouldn’t be an option. If you focus on the right renovation, you can hit two birds with one stone.

To Exterior Building Solutions, these home improvements roll beauty and comfort into one:

Fiber Cement Siding Upgrade

Of all siding materials, fiber cement is the epitome of enchantment and toughness. It replicates wood to the smallest detail for historical accuracy, but won’t go up in flames or succumb to the effects of moisture. Made from a mixture of wood pulp, Portland cement, sand and water, this wonder material weathers like masonry and is aesthetically versatile to boot. Available in a variety of styles, colors and textures, it ages gracefully while maintaining its strength with just minimal maintenance.

Time has proven its resilience. Under normal circumstances, it can resist structural damage when professionally installed.

Fiberglass Entry Door Installation

Energy efficiency is one of fiberglass’ claims to fame. Other than being excellent insulators, fiberglass entry doors are usually equipped with advanced weatherstripping to ensure exceptional airtightness. Fiberglass is also indistinguishable from authentic timber, charming the beholder with the appearance of wood.

Wood Window Replacement

When it comes to windows, wood has four undisputed advantages: aesthetics, longevity, thermal insulation and expansion coefficient. Its popularity may have suffered a little with the introduction of low-cost vinyl, but it remains the preference of discerning homeowners.

Wood windows may not be without imperfections like any other product on the market, but their benefits outnumber and outweigh their perceived weaknesses. But with proper maintenance, you can effectively protect them from rot and get the most mileage out of them for a long time.
