Property life cycle costs are significantly reduced
Glazed balconies protect the concrete structures and reduce the need for facade repairs. An unglazed balcony is typically renovated every 10 years. However, a glazed balcony facade needs to be renovated only every 20 years. This is because a glass balcony facade has a higher temperature than outside, which, combined with protection against rainwater and moisture, doubles the repair interval of the balcony facade. This protection, in conjunction with regular maintenance of the balcony glazing, means significantly reduced lifecycle costs of the property.
Value of the property increases
Glazing improves the utilization rate of the balcony or terrace and increases the desirability of the property. The resident benefits of glazing are significant: glazing the balcony brings additional square footage to the apartment all year round, they can enjoy the balcony shelters from early spring until well into autumn, and the balcony glazing keeps the furniture protected and pollen away from the balcony. As a rental property, an apartment with a glazed balcony is a desired destination, which also affects the occupancy rate of the apartments and the retention of tenants. Permanent leases and a higher rent level naturally please housing investors. In summation, a glazed balcony is a cosines factor that increases living comfort.
Supports energy-efficiency
The average heating energy saving of glazed balconies is about 5% per year. The temperature on the glazed balcony is on average five degrees warmer than the outside air, positively affecting the amount of heat loss and thus saving energy and offering savings. With Visor Blinds, residents can also control the heat, light and privacy of their balcony.
A profitable investment
Glazed balconies are a useful investment for residents as well as property owners. With glazing, the life cycle cost of the property is reduced, the lifetime of balconies is doubled, and the value of the property rises. Apartments with glazed balconies are also more desirable as rental properties, affecting their occupancy rates.
Energy savings up to 16%
Have you ever thought that balcony glazing increases the annual comfortable use time of balconies by 1-2.5 months? Did you know that you can reach up to 16% savings in the heating energy costs every year? And by the way, the need for renovation of the balcony facade life cycle is extended by 6-10 years when the balconies are glazed.
