If your park home is showing signs of ageing, it might be time for a refurbishment. What should you do and where should you start? We briefly explore the many ways you can upgrade your park home and have it looking good as new. Maybe it’s new cladding you need, or a new kitchen or bathroom. You might be looking at updating the décor or improving the insulation. Everything is possible and here are some tips to get you inspired.
The external walls are the most noticeable part of your home. If they are starting to look a little shabby, you can give them a coat of paint and even opt for a new colour. You should paint the walls of your park home roughly every three to five years. Just make sure you select a high-quality paint that is designed for the job. If the walls are showing signs of wear and tear, you could consider replacing them with new sections. Not only will this improve the look of your home, but new walls are more thermally efficient, so you’ll also save money on heating.
Moss and algae
It’s common to find moss growing on the roof and this should be cleared before resealing. You need to do this every five years. You could also invest in a special coating which will provide protection against moss build-up and this will also improve the effectiveness of the roof’s insulation. Moss and algae can ruin the look of many other hard surfaces, such as drives, patios and steps and can also be very slippery. You can read about how to treat and control algae growth on the RHS website here:
New park homes
Perhaps you are looking to invest in a new park home. Are there park homes for sale near me, you may wonder? As an example, Parkhomelife has a modern development of beautifully constructed single storey homes within easy reach of the Forest of Dean and is well worth a look.
If you are looking for inspiration for the interior of your park home, you could consider reupholstering the built-in furniture to give it a new lease of life. Maybe the bathroom is looking stained and tired, or you might just be looking to update the colour scheme. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you use a company that specialises in park home refurbishments.
