We went with caesarstone counter top and glass splashback. We picked a dark colour for the counter top so we didn't want it as splashback. It would absorb and reduce illumination from the task lighting lamps installed under the overhead cupboards.

Like previous poster I think the doors have been made taller to recover the kickboard area. I suppose this design would require a perfect flat floor around the cupboard for the doors to swing out.

We were also considering LED for the supposed low running costs but purchase prices were too high. We also arrived to same conclusion that it would take many years to break even. We went with CFL lamps and nighty five percent of lamps in our house are of this type even down lights. Those that are no...

I also like your revised kitchen layout. We have similar island configuration and we put the sink toward one end so it leaves more working space on the other side. It seems that you have an open plan and I was wondering if a 600mm wide rangehood would provide enough suction power to extract cooking ...

This is our second summer (if you can call it a summer) with a Breezair evap and we also started to have the smell every time we turned the unit on for maybe 5 minutes. I did a couple of complete drains but the smell was still there. After maybe 15 minutes on we felt like the smell went away (or we ...

We were also interested in having handleless drawers and cupboard doors for our kitchen. The kitchen company we used had a sharknose handleless kitchen in their showroom and we liked the clean lines of it. But they told us handleless drawers were more expensive because there were more work involved ...

Hi, Did they indicate the price for the overhead cabinets in the quote? And is the price of the range hood indicated in the contract?

Hi, We were also interested to have a Schweigen Rangehood but could not find an installer locally ;-( The ones that were willing to install had to come from interstate and would charge extra for travel. We ended up trying a Miel canopy and went with it. I must say we are very happy with it. It's duc...

Hi, The kitchen company we went with also carried both brands. We ended up with Ceasarstone (cashmere). Have been happy with the product. Easy care with damp soft cloth. The black colours you're considering look great. Maybe you could ask your kitchener to show you if they have installed those bench...

Hi, You can visit Actpla in Dickson and request a list of licensed certifiers. Alternatively try this page http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/topics/hiring_licensing/find_professional/list where you can download an online copy. Are you thinking not to use the certifier your builder usually works with?

Hi, I believe the garage floor has a slope to drain the water to the outside. I would suggest to ask your builder where the O/A height is supposed to be measured.

you can ask your builder to upgrade them to be ducted to the outside air (it's usually a few hundred dollars extra per exhaust fan/rangehood). In our case we paid extra to have the rangehood ducted to the outside. Didn't want to have food grease and smoke ending up in the ceiling space.

Hi Dan, We went with a Breezair for its quietness when running. We took one size bigger than recommended by the calculator as not to have to push the unit full steam. Used it during hot days last summer and very happy with the product.

Hi, In the ACT the government has a service that offers free consultation regarding cooling/heating to help with energy saving initiatives, http://www.heat.net.au/ People can ring them up and book a consultation. They offer very useful advice. Which state are you in?

Hi, It seems that our ceiling heat and fans in bathrooms and showers are not ducted to the outside. They just extract humid air to the void below roof. It sounds like your models are designed to be ducted to the outside though. You might want to check that with the builder or installer?

As a side note, our electrician also requested that all light fittings had the Australian standard marked on them otherwise he would not install.

We also decided not to have carpet in the house as we are allergic too. The house has porcelain tiles everywhere except in the bedrooms and the home office. The difference in prices between real timber and laminate made us go with the latter. For peace of mind we chose the commercial grade. The plan...

What we've done is make mosaics of photos we love then got them printed on canvas ready to hang. Many times of the year Big W have big promotions on canvas (up to 50% off). Delivery is free if you collect at a Big W of your choice. The quality is good and it's ready to hang. You don't need to get th...
