We have finally been handed over to the construction team so hopefully we will be starting soon. We were looking at your photos and we noticed there's an extra glass screen in the master ensuite opposite the vanity, we don't remember seeing this in the display.

Yeah its pretty quick after it goes to construction! Yes we wanted to have different type of glass and made the toilet clear so it feels like more open space. Haven't lived in it yet but it sure is different than the normal ensuite! Re: Plantation Sahara Q2 in SEQ Brisbane - Our Build Thread 63Dec 06, 2014 8:07 pm jessicana10 How is the brio screen attached to your stacker doors? I can see it only covers the actual opening and not the third pane. We have requested one and now I'm wondering how it's fixed as I just assumed it would be on the end and cover all 3 panels??

Re: Plantation Sahara Q2 in SEQ Brisbane - Our Build Thread 64Dec 06, 2014 8:34 pm Yea it just sits on the end of the fixed 3rd pane... Spans across the opening...

Unfortunately as they were a tad over $2k it was the first thing scrapped at out tender. I think we will still get them, just after everything else. We haven't signed tender yet, still trying to get the price down a bit. Are you stacker doors 2.1 or 2.4? they look so good.

And I think security screen doesn't fit in this type of setup, but I would have preferred the security screen. And yeah the doors are the taller ones. I think 2.4 sounds correct..

I'm bit confused over there. Thanks Mirz, i'm sure yours is coming along very quick too! the glass, you mean the toilet ? Yes we wanted to make the toilet less confined....and "feel" more spacious... Re: Plantation Sahara Q2 in SEQ Brisbane - Our Build Thread 71Dec 15, 2014 10:41 pm Woow, firstly thought they put toilet in shower by mistake, lol. That's a pretty daring toilet. I would find it hard to concentrate Love your basins, very sleek and giving elegant look. What kind of tree do you have in nature strip? Our is coming along well, can't complain. Will see for how many week tradies would be away on Christmas break.

Hi poohbear does Henley allow you to install lighting fixtures and ceiling fans pre handover? Do they do it for you? Hey izzy, They do... You will talk to the electrician on site and tell them what you want to install and they will quote you... Otherwise they won't be able to price it for you before hand... You need to tell them in your electrical planning where you want ceiling fans so they can put in extra timber noggins Re: Plantation Sahara Q2 in SEQ Brisbane - Our Build Thread 79Feb 05, 2015 6:46 am That's the same with pendants etc...
