Comments (27)Yes. Axolotl are amazing! I have sourced a company in Melbourne who pretty much do the same thing. It's Metalcote in Cheltenham. The bronze/graphite sample I have attached to this post is from there. It's liquid metal. Axolotl are in Sydney and the cost of transporting door to and from there, plus cost of coating, is way expensive. Coating alone, minus cost of door, is around $2500+/- I figure for the same product I won't have to pay for return delivery of a heavy door...See Morebedrooms straight off a living area - yes or no?
Comments (49)Thanks siriuskey and Jen! I have been toying with this idea already.... also with making the current main bedroom into a living area (as it would make a nice sitting room, it has a great garden view). Actually, since I originally asked for help on here we have booked the job in with a builder & plumber.... still have to line up other trades but it's not happening until June next year. Below is the plan I ended up giving to the builder for his quote... but of course I am likely to change my mind about 50 times before we go ahead! Especially since as you'll see, the planned ensuite is too narrow, we will have to make it wider. RE having a WIR for the maswter, we decided a BI would be ok instead since we dont have many clothes and we'd rather use the limited space for bigger bedrooms. Also we had to double our budget to $100k as $50k (our original) wasn't going to cut it!!!! ( & we'll still have to be very careful with our spending)....See MoreHow to fix the back end of my house
Comments (9)What direction does the home face. Well glazed area (with appropriate eaves) overlooking a northern backyard, very good. The same windows overlooking a western backyard, bad, as it'll get way to got in summer. I'm a bit confused about where the deck is though. Will it shade any new windows added to the galvo section of the home?...See MoreBest way to waterproof our decking to weatherproof the underneath
Comments (11)Hi Geraldine Your enquiry to waterproof the underside of your balcony is one we receive a lot of. We build balconies, patios etc and line the undersides of such structures. From our experience in doing this for 25 years, we don't know of any system put into an existing structure that can be guaranteed 100% waterproof by the manufacturer of the product or the installer. I could be wrong however I'm sure there will be a disclaimer in your quote. We have used the NexGen system with success in a Cottesloe balcony (WA) and used a different system in Mullallo and Peppermint Grove (WA) within 4 years of each other. With the Mullaloo balcony, we've had no issue after 4 years of install however the Peppermint Gove balcony waterproofing system installed in Janaury 2021, approved by the engineer, had to be cut on a two unusual angles to meet the 300 mm beam. With the first down pour, it did leak and we returned twice to rectify the problem with installing additional flashings (covering the beautiful Merbau beam). It may be a case of starting over with removing the existing decking boards to install the waterproofing membrane and installing new decking boards on new framing, keeping in mind this will raise the existing floor level. The other consideration is that this is not a straight edge balcony so whatever waterproofing system is used has to be cut on a curve which may compromise the integrity of the membrane. You'll require a gutter and down pipes on the front of the structure also. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you engage with a company who knows what to do. Best wishes!
