What's in your bathroom: Glass door, glass screen or curtain?
Comments (15)The Less Glass in your shower area the better - if you can avoid it. Eventually shower screens, no matter how effectively and often you clean them will deteriorate over time and shower signs of glass cancer. If the space allows it, effective planning can allow shower walls and other alternatives work effectively without the worry and hassle of cleaning glass. Thanks Paul...See MoreGarage door colour
Comments (47)I suggest the colour of your gutters & window frames (if they are the same colour?) i.e. a darker colour. Light colours, especially Surfmist, tend to stand out and block the depth of view. The viewer will look "at" it. Dark colours recede and you tend to look "into" them and they are more inviting, They also add warmth. Keep in mind any colour significantly different from the render colour will stand out and become a dominant feature of the total house appearance. Hence why custom doors are gaining popularity as the styles can be one colour and the infill panels can be a myriad of colours and textures. Having trouble choosing from the standard Colorbond range of colours? Consider getting a Dulux powdercoated colour. They cost a fraction more but deliver a whole range of colours. They also offer better fade & corrosion protection especially if near coastal areas. You can also get the tracks on the inside powdercoated in black which looks neat. Custom spray painted colours or a vinyl/rubber "wrap" similar to the trend used on changing the colours of cars is emerging as an alternative. Don't get an embossed pattern on the panels that is either rectangles or squares. They are dated designs. Also, a smooth finish will show up an imperfection in the metal. The Cosmopolitan or Wide-Line styles (www.asapgaragedoors.com.au) suit rendered house finishes. Solid wood doors are a lot of upkeep (to stop fading and weathering if not sealed properly), are very heavy, and require a stronger motor. Colorbond colors Caoba and Cedar wood-look metal doors like all colours fade over time and can look daggy especially the Cedar. Custom doors are expensive. Be aware that many of the polycarbonate infill door panels (see-through & opaque) can get condensation in the hollow inners which eventually becomes mouldy. Sectional (panel) doors have many moving parts which need to be regularly serviced i.e annually....See MoreAnyone install a rear roller door or double doors at back of garage?
Comments (8)swinging doors need a much bigger space to open and block access to side walls unless they open outwards (also harder to waterproof) and you remove the car...we have a rear 2.4m wide roller door without any intention of driving through to the rear garden (although occasional rear car access doesn't cause too much harm to the grass) but the wider opening is so much better for more light and easy access with a wheelbarrow or lawnmower and we have a 1.2m narrow concrete path across the outside rear of the garage to extend the total floor area which is ideal for working with table saw etc i suggest you cost the roller door with or without controller as the twin hinged door with suitable handles and locks may not be any cheaper and far less convenient...See MoreGarage back door within setback
Comments (6)As said previously, we have this set up at our home. The door should swing outside, your garage is small. After hand over install a barrel bolt on door, so when the door is open,you can anchor the bolt into ground. My husband installed and drilled hole into brick pavers to anchor bolt. We also installed a small weather protection awning to protect door. If you are not a person who can do this, then get a handyman around to install. No need for a glass door. Install a light in the garage....See Morediannemwong
