Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 8104Nov 05, 2018 1:29 pm Wild lol but our description is totally different, unsure what depth is reflecting here. are you getting a concealed rangehood or a canopy rangehood ? As per photo it is canopy rangehood and Freestanding dual fuel cooker. We are getting a canopy rangehood and freestanding upright cooker. We currently have a hidden rangehood, and wanted something different - plus the canopy rangehood was free in a promotion! Re: Building with Metricon 8105Nov 05, 2018 1:40 pm I am not taking appliances through M and will install em post handover, Yet to decide between concealed rangehood or Canopy rangehood and inbuilt stove with underbench oven or dual free standing upright cooker. Re: Building with Metricon 8107Nov 10, 2018 6:01 am I have upgraded to 3m downstairs. Although not built yet, I think it is worth the 15k extra. All you need to do is walk into the Bordeaux display to see the airness that the extra foot produces above the 2.7M. It is luxurious.

Re: Building with Metricon 8109Nov 10, 2018 2:22 pm The upgrade cost was from 2.7m to 3m. Energy costs- I am more concerned about the size of a 56 sq house than the extra foot of ceiling space. Having said that the house is insulated well.R6.0 ceiling R 2.5 internal walls double glazing etc. Re: Building with Metricon 8111Nov 10, 2018 2:31 pm I would not call it a mansion, just a little cottage with some extensions... to grow into Re: Building with Metricon 8113Nov 11, 2018 9:48 am Macher Any one upgraded to 3m ceiling? Was it worth the $$$? Hello Macher, yes we upgraded downstairs to 3m ceiling. By memory around 17k. Pricey but a non negotiable for me.

Re: Building with Metricon 8116Nov 12, 2018 11:25 am reaver Those that did a KDR, did you have to disconnect your water connection? I've abolished gas and electricity but not the water. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building with Metricon 8118Nov 22, 2018 8:41 pm Hi All for the Fibre Option Package that we upgraded to, where is it located and what is received from Metricon. Does anyone have a picture to share? We noticed our pay Tv wire is in the man hole or roof access and the outlet is in our leisure....we r trying to work out why the wire is left unconnected to anything n just placed there in the roof access. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building with Metricon 8119Nov 26, 2018 10:14 am Hi Guys, Just a question stuck in my head, please assist. with 2700 ceilings, Affordability doesn't allow to upgrade to double glazed windows / doors and insulation for walls and ceilings, Is it wise decision to stick with 2550 or double glazing / upgrading insulation isn't a necessity for 2700MM ceilings. Re: Building with Metricon 8120Nov 26, 2018 10:31 am If you have the higher ceilings, this will cause your energy bills to be higher (heating/cooling a larger space). If you have double glazing & better insulation, this will reduce your energy bills by making the house more energy efficient. Therefore, if you go 2700 ceilings and no double glazing/insulation upgrade, you will get the double whammy - higher bills for both larger space, and standard windows etc. It is completely your choice, but personally, for long term costings, I would do 2550 ceilings and double glazing, if the budget doesn't stretch to do 2700 ceilings and double glazing. But again, it comes down to personal choice. It may be more important to some to have the feel of the higher ceilings rather than worrying about the bills!
