Home renovation trends focus on insulation and ventilation
Homeowners in the Netherlands and Belgium are increasingly focusing on energy efficiency and home maintenance through modern renovations. A significant trend involves replacing traditional wooden window frames with high-quality plastic alternatives. These modern profiles, such as those produced by Veka, offer improved thermal insulation, lower maintenance requirements, and enhanced security.
Technical installation is highlighted as a critical factor for long-term durability. Professionals often utilize a 'stelkozijn' (subframe) method to ensure a stable, airtight connection between the window and the wall, which prevents moisture and drafts from entering the home.
In addition to structural upgrades, proper ventilation remains essential for maintaining indoor air quality. Experts advise that even during rainy weather or in the month of September, short periods of wide-open ventilation—approximately fifteen minutes—are necessary to prevent condensation and mold buildup caused by indoor moisture.
