Originally I wanted to use a drain but since I have a very small amo...

The do come smaller AFAIK, which translates to shallower. Though that also translates to less capacity. Given the level of rainfall during some of the storms Brisbane has seen in the last decade, I'd question whether getting a smaller capacity pit is a good idea. Is it just that you don't want to d...

Sep 08, 2020 2:04 pm

Hi all, as per the subject line I am trying to buy and install roller blinds to achieve 100% block-out with no light gaps.

My builder (for a new home) is about to ask for the roof truss designs to be done. I am intending on having a 60mm anticon with r2.5 ceiling batts. I d...

Re: Upper floor ceiling height, windows, eves and ceiling faGeneral Discussion

Dec 12, 2019 7:55 pm

I definitely agree with you there. 1300 high windows from the floor is too high. It would make the house feel very claustrophobic because you wouldn't get the open feeling that you normally do having the existence of a window.

Can you ask to have some of the exposed windows ie facing North-West or West to have tinted glass to reduce the glare, or even better, for just those ones to be double glazed? Windowfactory, where abouts are you based? What state/area? I'm in Brisbane
