A kitchen renovation is delightful in spring
“A kitchen is important to homeowners because it is central to all types of social interaction”
Spring – the time of renewal – is a time to freshen up your home. Many Canadian homeowners may be inspired to tackle a renovation project, such as a kitchen upgrade. The focal point of your home, the kitchen is where we have family dinners or drinks with friends, or catch up with our loved ones over a morning coffee. There are simple ways to make your kitchen more comfortable and inviting for all.
“A kitchen is important to homeowners because it is central to all types of social interaction,” says Cheryl West, insulation expert at Owens Corning. “Homeowners want this reflected in the comfort and overall ambiance of this often neglected living space.”
When renovating your kitchen, keep in mind these tips. Stick to basics. Keep minimal appliances. Clear clutter, and think twice before you add another decorative detail. Make sure there is quality living space in your kitchen that you can enjoy with your family and friends. And while you’re at it, don’t forget about upgrading insulation. There is nothing more inviting than a warm, quiet and comfortable kitchen, and that’s what you can achieve by upgrading your insulation.
Owens Corning QuietZone® acoustic batts will help minimize noise and prevent sounds from the dishwasher drifting up to the bedrooms. But that’s not all. With PINK™ FIBERGLAS® insulation products, made from over 70* per cent recycled content, you will help turn waste into useable products and protect the environment.
And it only gets better. Government grants and incentives available to homeowners for energy-efficient renovations can help you save even more. Federal and provincial governments as well as some energy utilities offer funding for energy-efficient renovations.
With all these reasons to update your kitchen, stop waiting and start renovating. More information on grants and incentives can be found online at www.showmethegreen.ca.
