Re: wisdomhomes and double galzed windows 14Jun 16, 2009 5:13 pm stonecutter1309 16C is pretty good. Our rental - although a new house - has no wall insulation (or it's really crappy and the house has leaks somewhere) - we wake up to 11C in Mt Druitt My parents have roller blinds and there are quite a few gaps so you don't get good thermal efficiency on the window coverings (compared to pelments and curtains) I know roller blinds aren't as thermal efficient as pelmets and curtains, but I can't stand the look of them (just don't have the modern feel). I might have to put up with hating them though if it means having a more comfortable home in winter. We're still debating what we will do but cielly and me both like the look of the roller blinds. p.s. Sorry to the opening poster as this thread is going way off topic.

Re: wisdomhomes and double galzed windows 18Jun 16, 2009 8:39 pm Thanks BB! I am sure that they do have some modern ones for young people... no? Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23 - http://erwisdomprosperity.blogspot.com/ Re: wisdomhomes and double galzed windows 19Jun 21, 2009 11:15 am Hi ibe6ube9, We have a quote for the Trend Quantum Thermashield Windows (double glazed, alumimium, sliding + awning in bathrooms) and for our Aspiration 35 it's around $10,000 the upgrade. I suggest you go and have a look to Trend's showroom (44-52 Mandoon Road, Girraween) to see by yourself the difference between the standard and the Quantum range. I did ask for another quote for the Upvc windows double glazed upgrade...when the said $45,000... ...I think I nearly had a heart attack ! Hope this helps, Fred PS: I still find weird to ask for this upgrade, as where I'm from (France) this has been the standard for decades, they're up to triple glazing overthere!!
