Smart material choices for refurbishing or presenting a property

When you are selling or buying a house, it is often about the big picture: location, price and layout. But it is the details that can really make a house speak for itself. Think, for instance, of replacing a plate of glass with Plexiglas. It is just as clear, but lighter, stronger and a lot safer. Ideal for a balcony edge, a canopy or even a modern room divider.

Small adjustments, big effect

Estate agents know better than anyone that a good first impression counts. When viewing a house, you want it to feel fresh, well cared for and solid. But that does not have to mean a complete renovation right away. It is precisely with small, smart interventions that you can achieve a lot. Think about replacing damaged panels, freshening up a façade panel or neatly finishing an overhang. Materials such as Plexiglas or HPL make that work just that little bit easier.

Both materials are low-maintenance, sturdy and look sleek. This makes them perfect for places that need to be seen, from the front door to the balcony railings. And because they can be made to measure, you work quickly and precisely. No fuss with sawing or sanding: immediately ready for use.

Also handy for completion or styling

Anyone who has just bought a house is sometimes faced with practical choices. Especially for a newly built house or a house that still needs some love. Then it is good to know that there are materials you can use quickly and that last a long time. Plexiglas, for instance, is ideal for temporary partitions, kitchen splashbacks or a creative solution in the bathroom. It also offers protection outdoors without looking heavy.

In turn, an hpl plate is ideal for applications where impacts, moisture and use should not stand a chance. Think of facade cladding, dormers or even as a barn finish. The material is available in various colours and structures, which also enhances its appearance.

Practical and attractive presentation

Have you bought a house, are you preparing it for sale or are you an estate agent preparing a presentation? Material choice plays a bigger role than you might think. Using strong, low-maintenance boards not only ensures a neat finish, but also a professional impression. And that can make all the difference in how a house is perceived.
