Colorbond Roofing

Colorbond Roofing’s 5-Layer Protection

Colorbond steel roofing is becoming ever more popular as people realise that it offers so many benefits. Not only is it strong and durable, it is lightweight, meaning the roof frame does not have to be as strong as it would to support a great weight such as tiles have. In addition, the wide colour choice means that there is always an attractive colour to suit your building no matter whether the walls are of brick or some other cladding that can be painted.

While Colorbond roofing is being used more than ever, not everyone realises that those seemingly thin sheets of steel offer 5 layers of protection.

4 Reasons to Add a Patio to Your Home

Do you own a home without a patio? Adding a great looking patio to your home is a relatively simple and cost effective project. Here are 4 good reasons to go ahead.

  • A patio will add value to your home and make a positive selling point should you ever decide to sell. A survey back in 2007 found that most home buyers preferred a house with a patio and over half of them would pay a premium price to get it. So having a patio will not only add value, but may make your home sell more quickly in a slow market, allowing you to get on with the rest of your life more quickly.

5 Benefits of Using a Professional Scaffold Hire Company

Very few buildings can be erected without hiring scaffolding and of course, the higher the building is, the more scaffold is needed. For very small building jobs the builders may erect their own structure, but once larger buildings are planned, hiring a professional scaffold company will pay dividends.

Here are 5 benefits of using a professional scaffold hire company.

  • They can design the scaffold using professional engineers so that you know it is extremely safe. Having the structure collapse under a load of equipment or workers would be a disaster of gigantic proportions. The repercussions will be ongoing and the company may never recover. There will be a hold-up to the building work, inspections, inquiries, court hearings and most likely, litigation to cope with. An engineer knows just how to design the support structure so that it does its job properly, supporting and protecting workers, equipment and building materials right up to the topmost floor.

Home Renovations – To Paint or Not to Paint

Many people do home renovations quite successfully and this can add value to the home whether you want to sell or not. But whether you want to book a furniture mover like Brilliance Removalists or not, it is wise to consider carefully whether you are up to the job of painting your home.

Anyone with arthritis should not attempt to paint the ceiling as it can be really hard on the neck to look up all the time.  Even painting the walls can be a lot more work than it looks.  For a start, you have to go over it all with a fine tooth-comb to see that it is in good repair and that any cracks or holes are filled in with putty and sanded over, otherwise even that small nail hole or bump will look more obvious.
