Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 3241Jul 12, 2016 11:38 pm Thanks re build, the past 2 weeks seems a bit slower as they have really just finished off frame and done gutters and plumbing. Need to see tiles on Re: Building with Metricon 3242Jul 13, 2016 7:51 am Emmz70 Question all, if you have obscured Windows size (12-18) upstairs, does light still filter through? Any pictures would be great. Thanks in advance I totally understand your concerns. I'm so worried about this. We have a large obscured window upstairs in our living area and I love natural light and was very upset to find out it had to be obscure. When our plans were in council I spoke to our assessing officer and she confirmed it had to be obscure due to privacy reasons for our neighbours, even though they're only single storey. I honestly think if it looks really bad I'll wait for our occupation certificate and then one of my children will "accidentally" throw a ball through it!

Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com great idea. It's such a shame to lose the natural lighting, oh well if all else fails with the advantage of upstairs we could install skylights later Re: Building with Metricon 3244Jul 13, 2016 11:29 am Hi Emmz look at your drawing , I think you need to check whether it is a obscure Film to window or obscure glass Obviously , it will be easy to deal with if it is a film , but even it is obscure glass, you can still get around with it after handover like what M&T suggest Re: Building with Metricon 3245Jul 13, 2016 1:24 pm Scott2233 Hi Emmz look at your drawing , I think you need to check whether it is a obscure Film to window or obscure glass Obviously , it will be easy to deal with if it is a film , but even it is obscure glass, you can still get around with it after handover like what M&T suggest That's a good point Scott. If you're lucky Emmz it will be obscure film in which case you can google how to remove it. Unfortunately in Sydney M uses Wideline who have advised they don't use the film on their windows Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Re: Building with Metricon 3246Jul 13, 2016 1:53 pm Just saw our SC and she informed us that the Glendale limited edition has a timber post for the outdoor room!! She's sent an urgent email to our CSC to change this. Just making sure who ever else is building LE G knows this... Re: Building with Metricon 3247Jul 13, 2016 1:55 pm I also took some pictures of the window splash back for anyone who wants to see.

So **** isn't it that we have to try and pick up all these things!!! It's a joke!!! Our SC was even shocked, she's sold over 30 of them and only just picked it up last week. I thought I checked it but obviously not Re: Building with Metricon 3250Jul 13, 2016 2:11 pm Glendale45 Just saw our SC and she informed us that the Glendale limited edition has a timber post for the outdoor room!!

Yes, all Glendale limited edition outdoor room has a timber post and the overall length of the alfresco is also shorter.

Don't worry, if they can't or won't worst case scenario is to have it bricked yourselves after handover. Just remember to keep the leftover bricks. My Metricon Glendale in Sydney.
