New research published by Eurocell plc, the UK’s leading manufacturer, distributor and recycler of PVC-U window, door, conservatory and roofline systems, has revealed that four in five consumers believe the design of their home impacts their wellbeing, demonstrating the growing demand for homes designed to promote good health.
When asked about wellbeing in the home, 83% of female respondents and 73% of males said that feeling comfortable and secure in their home impacted their overall wellbeing. When asked what top three factors contribute to consumers feeling good in their own home respondents identified the amount of natural light (48%), low noise levels (39%) and feeling safe and secure (37%). These were closely followed by access to outdoor space (36%) and the design and layout (35%).
One of the key drivers behind this trend is growing consumer awareness of the impact of the built environment on personal well-being. The benefits of homes with high levels of natural light are well established and include positive impacts on factors including improved health, happiness, productivity and better mental well-being, with research also suggesting it can help reduce the effects of seasonal affective disorder.
Chris Coxon, Group Head of Marketing at Eurocell, commented: “For today’s home occupier, incorporating wellbeing into the design of the home is increasingly important.
