There is no getting
around it we've all gone reno, DIY, attic room and
construction mad!. I can barely leave my street
without stumbling over a cement truck or pallets of
tiles on the nature strip and I love it and hate it
at the same time. I love the idea of knocking out
walls, tastefully extending homes, building new
kitchens and opening up living spaces but I hate
that I can't join the renovation/revamp crew as yet
but there is hope I will one day!. In the mean time
I have my list of dream suppliers, contractors and
advisers... Obviously Grand Design's Kevin McCloud
is at the top of that list (one can only dream!!).
I love period
architecture, having grown up in both Edwardian and
Art Deco homes, and would love to live in and own a
home of this era. The first thing on my period home
"dream renovation list" would be to open up the
rooms and let light in. When my sister renovated her
Deco Bungalow some years ago, she knocked out a
couple of walls and added a pair of french doors and
the entire space was transformed into a light and
airy hub. Natural light is so important in a living
space - it's refreshing, calming, evokes happiness
and promotes creativity all round!. I used to think
renovating stopped at knocking down walls, painting,
ripping up carpet and decorating but adding windows
and glass panels can completely transform a space no
matter how big or small.
With that in mind
I'm loving the high quality range of
roof solutions and window fittings by the world
leading designer group VELUX®. The pinterest worthy
images below are just some of the wonderful
installations they offer including Roof Windows,
Skylights, Tailor Made Blinds and Shutters, Home
Automation Systems, Solar Panels and Sun Tunnels.
Most definitely on my future renovation wishlist,
The VELUX system can transform a dark attic or roof
space into a light filled energy efficient loft
worthy of inner city Manhattan!. No matter the type
of roof be it high and pitched, low pitched or just
plain flat VELUX seem to have an efficient solution
for opening up a space, letting in light and a snap
shot of the surrounding skyline. I really like the idea of positioning
windows so they frame the surrounding environment
creating living, evolving, natural works of art and
the VELUX system allows you to create and maintain
this at the touch of a button.

I'm also loving VELUX commitment to sustainable living with high tech window glazing that not only reduces outside noise but blocks both heat and/or cold. Their Solar Panels alone are capable of supplying up to 60% of a households water heating needs. These guys are true market leaders in all things "natural light" and have collaborated with a number of world leading architectural firms creating to the minute sustainable living on a grand scale. In their continued commitment to sustainable carbon neutral living VELUX have devised a product life cycle assessment that evaluates their products from the manufacturing process and beyond more impressively "All the energy consumed in a VELUX roof window’s lifecycle is balanced out and even exceeded by the energy gained in the heating season during its use."

These
guys are certainly on my go-to list of suppliers and
there are three Australian based VELUX showrooms for when that time finally comes - YAY!.
