Your home says a lot about your style. Everything – from how you arrange the pictures on the wall, to the way you coordinate carpets and furniture – correlates to who you are and how you want others to perceive you. Throwing bright colours on the wall, for instance, might mean you’re a little eccentric – whereas a simple and tactile rug communicates an understated sophistication. And this shouldn’t be any different for window furnishings.
With electricity prices continuing to rise and South Australia shivering through its coldest start to winter in more than 35 years, how can you keep warm without burning cash?
South Australians love spending time outdoors. Whether that’s swimming at our beautiful beaches, watching sport at Adelaide Oval, walking through our beautiful nature parks, or simply spending quality time in our own backyards. But with the temperature dropping to single figures through winter, and often reaching the mid 40s in summer, how can South Australians protect themselves from the elements at home, without having to retreat indoors?
Curtains. They can make a room. But, if elements such as colour, fabric, line and length are wrong, they can break a room. With so many decisions to make, how do you narrow down these options to ensure you get something that you love and your friends and family do too?
At Stan Bond we believe that Earth Day, April 22, is a great opportunity to further build a healthy, sustainable environment, to tackle climate change and to protect future generations. We advocate the use of evidence-based knowledge to reduce environmental outputs. Our screen and shade solutions will not only improve the aesthetic of your home, it will also help you minimise your carbon footprint and reduce your energy expenditure all year round.
Excessive noise pollution is not only annoying, but can also be damaging to your health. Those living in areas with high-density traffic, major roads and airports are most at risk, however noise pollution can also come from other sources, like noisy neighbours, pets and construction sites. So how do you tackle external noise pollution easily without having to pack up and move?
After over 45 years improving South Australian homes, we’re proud to open our brand new Stan Bond showroom! Relocating to U5/511 Lower North East Road, Cambelltown, we’ve now got even more space to show you Adelaide’s most extensive range of blinds, awnings, security doors, roller shutters, plantation shutters, curtains and Crimsafe® products.
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.
