Going away over summer and looking to improve your home security? Well, if you’re looking to do it, the time is now. Statistically speaking, summer is the busiest time of the year for Australian burglars. As a large majority of people go away or spend less time in their homes, burglars seize the opportunity for hot property. But, there are a number of measures you can take to secure your home.
There are plenty of affordable ways to cool your home, all of which look great, will keep the energy bills down and keep the mosquitoes out. First thing’s first. Stopping the heat before it gets through your windows and into your home is priority number one. Once the heat gets in, it becomes increasingly difficult to cool your home. If you already know the day’s going to be hot, try cooling it down as soon as you wake up and go to work. You’ll thank yourself in the evening.
Everyone knows of the damaging effects weather can have on the exterior of your home, but what if your property is on the seafront? Living at the beach means amazing views and a great lifestyle. Unfortunately, it exposes you to the elements, meaning higher levels of weatherproofing and robustness are required than for inner suburbs homes. Adelaide suburbs such as Glenelg, Brighton, Seacliffe & Henley Beach have amazing houses on the beachfront, which require blinds and awnings that can withstand the harsh salt sea spray.
Unfortunately, South Australia didn’t get the start to spring it was hoping for. We saw rain, hail, strong winds and even floods – not the best weather for your outdoor blinds.
Choosing the right blinds can be daunting. You’ve got to take into consideration the style, size, colour, texture, scale, pattern and that’s just figuring out how a particular style fits within your room. Not to mention, price, maintenance and safety… But fear not, our guide to choosing the right blinds will help shed some light on the situation.

Therefore, we would love to share and discuss some of the most commonly asked questions and answers from our experts! Of course, we always love hearing from you, so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to give us a call or contact us through our website.

You spent all summer trying to keep the cool air in, but now it’s time to keep it out. With the arrival of colder weather the focus turns to staying warm at home without maxing out our energy bills.
