Composite doors news - Comfort beats value for Britons

For the majority of Britons, creating the ideal home is more of a driving force to carrying out home improvements than boosting its value, which could inspire consumers to install composite doors ( http://www.force8.co.uk/ ) and make their house stand out from the crowd.

Recent research from the housing charity Shelter and Royal Institute of British Architects has revealed that 74 per cent of Britons wish to either improve the cosmetic appearance of their property or increase its living space when they carry out improvements.

Meanwhile, 12 per cent hope to make their home more energy efficient, while just eight per cent of respondents declared that adding value to their house was their main motivation.

Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "This survey reveals that homeowners are almost ten times more likely to want to create a better home than merely increase its value, showing that home is so much more to people than just a financial asset."

Britons looking for the perfect home improvement project may wish to consider adding a personal feel to their entrance with new composite doors ( http://www.force8.co.uk/ ).
