Smart house renovation

Renovate with vision

Are you planning a total renovation for your home, a renovation or a residential extension? Then you may already be thinking about insulation, especially with the current energy prices. And quite right as well, but if you only focus on insulation, your home could end up being a “closed box”, and nothing could be further from pleasant and healthy living. Future-oriented renovation therefore requires a broad view and sufficient attention to smart techniques. We'll help you along the way.

What should you keep in mind when renovating your house?

Polluted indoor air and solar heat quickly become trapped in a well-insulated home, and should be avoided, right? By thinking of ventilation and solar shading at the beginning of your renovation, you are guaranteed to build a figuratively warm home in which you can completely relax at the right indoor temperature, and where you can easily enjoy excellent air quality constantly.

No renovation without ventilation

Cracks and crevices automatically provide the necessary ventilation in old homes. The fresh air simply blows through the holes as it were: and this is great for the air you breathe, but it is far from energy efficient of course. A well-insulated home on the other hand has an airtight building envelope. It is difficult to get the polluted indoor air out of the house, so it is best to provide reliable solutions to ensure the supply of fresh air from outside. A decentralised mechanical extract ventilation system, or a central ventilation solution like the C-system or D-System guarantee healthy indoor air and prevent damp issues in the home.

Solar shading for a pleasant indoor climate

With a lot of insulation, you need to keep the heat inside so you use less energy. This is great in the winter, but not so much fun on hot summer days when heat that comes in through large windows is no longer able to escape outside. Outdoor solar shading helps you anticipate the risk of overheating in your renovated home. This is logical because you can block the sun where it really matters: before it reaches the glass.

Outdoor blinds

Outdoor blinds block the heat from the sun and prevents it even reaching the glass. This keeps the indoor temperature pleasantly cool during the summer. At the same time, the free solar heat can still be enjoyed in winter by leaving the sun protection fabric open.

Choosing to keep or replace your windows?

If you are renovating, you may be choosing new windows. Energy-efficient glazing, new joinery and consequently better thermal performance.

When renovating, don’t stop at the house, think about the garden

Enjoying pleasant temperatures indoors is nice, but living outside in the comfort of inside is just as good. Invest in your garden and create more space and options to live life to the fullest. Do you enjoy a relaxing book or a full-on party with friends? Anything is possible.
