Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 27, 2008 4:41 pm Hey guys
Just a few quick questions which I was wondering if anyone knew the answers too. 1) If you got a staircase, were you able to speify if you wanted bullnose, square edge etc for the treads or was it just a standard look. I actually prefer the square edge I think, but at Hopetoun I forgot to ask. The only option they gave me was for the handrail, stain colour and balustrades. 2) If you added eaves did this change your 5 star rating, on our tender we have 2 points which say they could effect the 5 star rating - one was the 450mm eaves and the other was the translucent glazing in the front door. I was really hoping that PD would have to pay for the extra insulation to meet 5 stars, but now I'm wondering if it is going to be left to me because of these added items. I know the eaves are good for 5 star though Thanks for any help My karma ran over your dogma Re: PD People Please :) 2Aug 27, 2008 5:20 pm Well, we got a staircase, AND we added eaves (600mm) to the whole house, and I'm no help at all, sorry!!! Does it maybe depend on what style of staircase you select??? I know we get square edge b/c we went for the open tread contemp staircase, but I have no idea where the others are concerned.
As for the eaves - if they are good for your 5* rating, wouldn't you NOT need extra insulation......???? Sorry, as I said, no help at all!
