Not having a porch can considerably impact upon your homes kerb appeal when it comes to selling up. Other than providing crucial storage, porches essentially add an extra barrier against intruders and energy loss. Around 70% of all ‘successful’ intruders gain entry through a door, with around 30% of those left unlocked. Coupled with the fact that inefficient doors can be responsible for up to 40% of household energy loss, security and energy efficiency are top concerns for homebuyers. Quality uPVC porches (like ours!) enhance both of these enviable aspects, especially as a uPVC porch expertly retains heat, making Hampshire homes with porches and deterring porch lights much more appealing than those without.
