Hi Siriuskey, They are timber looking tiles - we absolutely love them. We are considering the same for the new place but potentially herringbone/parquetry arrangement. Much more expensive vs. laminate but easier to clean and no concern in relation to water...

can anybody give a recommendation on slim profile good quality windows and doors available in Queensland? we are building a new home. Thanks

Straight, Bold Lines can create stunning results! Modern, spacious, and well-lit, the Angular Elegance home has created an elegant, yet warm and inviting feel by utilising our black framed windows and doors throughout. This home has used several styles of windows and doors to ensure ventilation and natural air flow in every room... - With louvre windows in the bathroom, and the indoor patio and barbeque area, - Sliding doors and awning windows in the master bedroom, and - Bi-fold doors to open up the entire downstairs entertaining space up. This beautiful custom home was built by Walker Homes. Would you have black frames throughout your entire home?

Surmist is an easy colour to match in aluminium and i would have stacking or sliding glass doors to maximise the waterproofing, increase available space on the balcony, make fly screening so much easier and the narrower aluminium frames would block less of your views
