What do you like most about this space?
Comments (28)I love the option to work in a private office while still feeling connected to the larger open plan space. And who doesn't want a huge blackboard to creatively brainstorm?...See MoreWhat do I do with this timber fence?
Comments (17)At Designer Plants we often help customers with privacy needs. We have products such as our Photinia and Laurel Trellis' that I think might interest you. They are Artificial so they require absolutely no maintenance and they are build to last in the sun - In fact, they come with a 5-year guarantee against cracking and fading. Each screen is 1 meter by 2 meters however they contract and retract from 1 meter all the way out to approximately 2.5 meters. If you're Interested check out our website - www.designerplants.com.au Alternatively you can contact me directly with any questions - aaron.quarrell@designerplants.com.au - and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Good Luck with the project!...See MoreWhich oil painting do you like out of these?
Comments (45)I can see you have already had some great advice and if I offered my choice from the three it would be the middle one. But in truth, I personally wouldn’t have any of them as they just remind me of those ‘real fake’ pictures where a group Thai ‘artists’ each paint a part and pass it on, banging out 100 a day. I am pleased that some Thai family is in employment, just not sure about all the middlemen. For our wedding my wife and I asked all guest to donate whatever they felt they wanted toward a painting, we already had enough kettles. In the end we had enough to buy a painting each. I originally wanted to buy a picture that may go up in value and be something of an investment for my son. The gallery owner who helped us with our choice made this point, that when you choose something for an investment its worth remembering you should enjoy looking at the picture as well. We went with that advice first. I’m sure there must plenty of places where a genuine local artist would appreciate the purchase of their work in order to make a living. My plan when we finish our rebuild here in Christchurch is to fill our walls this way. But if you ended up with an abstract those links on doing one yourself looked interesting....See MoreEnd the timber shortage: use alternative building products
Comments (0)The building and construction industry has been thrown into a tailspin in the past year, with bushfires, importing difficulties due to COVID, lack of domestic production and the housing boom all contributing to a timber shortage – both across Australia and worldwide. With high demand for timber products, and insufficient supply to cater to this demand, builders and customers are experiencing long wait times for timber products, and often shortages of timber products they need to complete building projects. Structural framing timbers are one of the products most in demand – but there are other, non-structural support products which are also in short supply such as decking, fencing and cladding. Suppliers, buyers, builders and homeowners need to seek out alternatives to timber to use on their homes, in order to conserve low timber supplies and finish their projects sooner. One such product is DECO’s timber-look aluminium finish, DecoWood®. While DECO does not provide structural products, its DecoWood® products can be used on a variety of different applications where timber would normally be used. What is DecoWood®? DecoWood® is DECO Australia’s premium timber-look powder coat finish for aluminium. Utilising innovative sublimation technology, which transfers a woodgrain image into powder coated aluminium, DecoWood® replicates an authentic timber appearance, feel and form on a variety of aluminium building products. DecoWood® can be applied to almost any aluminium extrusion or flat sheet, and is frequently used for cladding, battens, windows and doors, slats and decking. More than 50% more durable than standard powder coating, DecoWood® does not release any harmful VOCs into the atmosphere, unlike the stains and paints often used on timber products to maintain them. DecoWood® products will also never need ongoing maintenance such as oiling or staining, and are available in over 150 natural woodgrain colours. Sustainable DecoWood® As well as being a viable timber alternative to take some of the pressure off the timber industry, DecoWood® is also a sustainable alternative to other building products commonly used in the building industry. Aluminium is one of the world’s most recyclable products – and 70% of the world’s recycled aluminium is still in use today. Aluminium’s strength and durability, combined with the durability of the DecoWood® finish, make it a long-lasting alternative that will not fade, peel, rot or warp as timber or composites may do over time, therefore reducing the frequency of replacement. An Australian-made Alternative Made in Australia, DecoWood® offers customers a quality product and finish with competitive lead times – builders and buyers need not worry about long wait times to import the product. Australian-made products are also tested to, and compliant with, the relevant Australian standards, ensuring you are purchasing a quality product....See Morechookchook2
