Along with spa baths in every bathroom, HUGE rounded skylights seem to be very popular in Canberra houses. These can offer fantastic light all year round making the house feel bigger and brighter, but can prove troublesome in terms of insulation in the Canberra climate.

This was a professional couples home in the heart of Kingston and boasted a gorgeous skylight about six metres high and seven metres wide . The clients were finding that the existing window furnishings had outstayed their welcome and a change was needed.

We ended up going with a Verosol pleated conservatory blind in a metalised fabric to reflect the heat. When choosing a Verosol product you can be assured that your money is well spent. The fabric has a 3% openness so you can still see those beautiful Canberra skys without the glare and it holds in the heat during winter. PERFECT!
