Painting
Painting the outside of your house can completely change the way it looks.
It is one of the most cost-effective ways to achieve a makeover without the expenses that come with remodeling. Aside from aesthetic benefits, a new coat of paint can protect your house from the UV sun rays, as well as wind, rain and other damaging elements. Technology and a deeper understanding of how paint works has unlocked several innovations in the industry. Depending on the climate and what you want to achieve, you can opt for energy efficient paint that can absorb heat and make your home warm in the winter. Some paints are designed to reflect heat, which is a welcome characteristic if you want to keep the house cool during summer. Other energy efficient painting elements that interact with moisture and affect ambient temperature. The secret is in the properties of paint. It can be semi-permeable, which means water passes through and evaporates (thereby making the structure cool). Heat can get trapped in-between the house material and paint and make your HVAC work less to warm up the interior during the colder months. With new paint technology you can save energy without having to rely on heating or cooling units.
