Last Updated: 27/11/19

In England we often refer to our houses as feeling cosy and homely, using phrases such as 'my home is my castle' and 'home sweet home. These phrases show how much we, the British, cherish and treasure our homes, wanting to create a comfortable and welcoming environment. Homeowners are constantly partaking in DIY, wanting to improve their humble abode and make it unique to them, and although we spend a lot of this DIY time on the interior, we forget about the exterior, often leaving it untouched. The exterior of your home is often a visitor's first impression, so why not make it beautiful inside and out! Adding architectural mouldings to your home is sure to make it stand out and make an impact, and there are so many to choose from which will transform any buildings appearance.

Bay windows are a great way to make your home stand out and can also give you a little extra space inside, making smaller rooms seem more spacious. From the outside bay windows add a whole new look to your home and can make it appear bigger.

Door surrounds can add a touch of style and elegance to your home making it appear more luxurious. They create a frame around your door drawing more attention to it and making it seem more welcoming. There are a number of different styles available, so you can choose a look that suits your taste and compliments your home.

Over door canopies and porticoes are both visually appealing and practical. A canopy is an independent structure above your door to provide a lip that will protect you from the elements. Porticoes are usually bigger than canopies and are supported by columns, this creates a larger sheltered porch like structure. You can attach a light to your over door structure to help you feel more secure and give better visibility at night.

Much like the over door canopies, a carport can make life easier while improving the appearance of your house. Not only does a carport protect your car from various weather conditions, but it also lets you get your shopping from the car to your house without getting rained on. Carports can be made to suit your specific needs and style. Columns and pillars can be added or it can be securely attached to the side of your wall.
