Selling Houses Australia - Heat and Glare

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia Episode 3

KINGS LANGLEY - Heat and Glare

OVERVIEW: What's the number one rule in real estate? Don't buy before you sell. In the next episode of Selling Houses Australia, Carl and Karen Harrison decide to take the risk and downsize their family home to a newly built home nearby. What they thought would alleviate stress by downsizing actually backfired when they were unable to sell their family home.

PROBLEM: The Harrison's home was in need of a serious makeover in order to be sold. The dated, 80s style home had a huge sunroom at the back overlooking the pool, which meant a lot of glare and heat entering the home.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex Dual Roller Blinds were selected to stop heat and glare during the day and allow full privacy at night. The team selected the Dual Roller Blinds in 'Ultraweave' Sunscreen fabric in colour 'Midnight' and 'Mauritius' blockout fabric in colour 'Essence' - a winning combination.



HOW IT WORKS: The dual system works by mounting tow blinds on one set of brackets, allowing the homeowner to combine the functionality of two different fabrics in the one roller blind. This not only offers flexible light adjustment, but also day and night time privacy in the one application.

Dual Roller Blinds are easy to operate and suitable for large windows, ideal for this application. Available with innovative EDGE (Ergonomically Designed with Greater Efficiency) technology, Luxaflex Dual Roller Blinds come in a range of operating systems, including chain, crank or motorised and can be operated with a remote device such as an iPhone or an iPad.

Selling Houses Australia - Privacy Control

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia - Episode 2

WOLLONGONG – Privacy Control

OVERVIEW: The second episode of The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia featured a house in great need of privacy control. The owner, Rhonda, bought her weatherboard cottage in central Wollongong on NSW's Coast about an hour south of Sydney because of the seclusion of the enormous backyard, but this was destroyed when a milti-storey unit block was constructed next door with balconies looking into her home.

PROBLEM: The waetherboard cottage was in need of privacy both day and night, without losing natural light. Although privacy could be achieved with any window covering, the cottage needed a blind with dual functionality – privacy and light filtering, whilst also maintaining a view.

SOLUTION: The Selling Houses team opted for Luxaflex Dual Roller Blinds, which effectively  managed the amount of light, heat and privacy they wanted in the home, simply by teaming up the Portobello 'Blanc' blockout fabric with Mist 'White' sheer translucent fabric.



HOW IT WORKS: The dual system works by mounting two blinds on one set of brackets, allowing
the homeowner to combine the functionality of two different fabrics in the one roller blind. This not only offers flexible light adjustment, but also day and night time privacy in the one application. In this case, the translucent fabric is perfect during the day as it ensures privacy and allows the entry of natural light, whilst also maintaining a view. The blockout part of the Roller Blind is ideal for eliminating light and ensures complete privacy at night.

Dual Roller Blinds are easy to operate and suitable for small, large, corner or bay windows, which can sometimes prove tricky to effectively cover. Available with the sleek and modern EDGE (Ergonomically Designed with Greater Efficiency) technology, Luxaflex Dual Roller Blinds come in a range of operating systems, including chain, crank or motorised and can be operated with a remote device such as an iPhone or an iPad.

Selling Houses Australia - DIY Disaster

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia - Episode 1

Frankston - DIY Disaster

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia is hosted by property expert, Andrew Winter, interior designer, Shaynna Blaze and landscape designer, Charlie Albone. Their aim is to transform dilapidated homes into saleable properties. As a leading sponsor of the sixth season, we will feature an overview of each week's challenge on the show and provide you with inspiration and solutions to implement into your own renovation projects.

OVERVIEW: The first house, located in the Melbourne suburb of Frankston was a half-finished weatherboard cottage situated opposite Frankston cemetery. The owner, Sean faced the challenge of overhauling and renovating the cottage to the point that someone may overlook its spooky location.

PROBLEM: Sean's cottage was not only located opposite the cemetery, but it was also half-renovated with no working kitchen and bathroom. The cottage was in urgent need of revival and some kind of consistency if it had a chance of being re-sold.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex Window Fashions supplied Beyond Woods Venetian Blinds in 'White' to complement the use of wood throughout the cottage. The horizontal aesthetic of the blinds was a perfect match to the stripes of the weatherboard, particularly when viewing the front of the property.

The Frankston home also had a new extension which was in a different style to the original home and Luxaflex Roller Blinds with Patented EDGE Technology in 'Snow' coloured Bronte Fabric were selected for the large modern windows.

HOW IT WORKS: Beyond Woods Venetian Blinds are the perfect way to add the look of wood in your home without worrying about the effects of humidity and moisture damage - particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. The blinds are constructed from engineered polymers with a special UV coating which minimises fading and are available in a range of different shapes and colours to match the aesthetics of the home.

Luxaflex Roller Blinds with Patented EDGE Technology effectively control heat, light and glare throughout the day while offering complete privacy at night. They are easy to operate and suitable for large windows, ideal for the Frankston home. Available in a range of operating systems, including chain, crank or motorised, the roller blinds can also be operated with a remote device such as an iPhone or an iPad.
