The Benefits of Adding Window Awnings To Your Home

Have you been looking to get a little more shade and privacy? Although you may think that window

awnings in Adelaide are nothing more than a decorative fixture for the outside of a home or a secondary

window covering, they actually do have a function and purpose. If you are careful when selecting the

awnings for your home, you will not only add convenience to your home, you will increase its curb

appeal and value as well. With a plethora of attractive options, we bring you authentic Australian

awnings to add a touch of elegance in your homes.

Benefits To Consider

Adding door awnings protects against rain and sunlight damage – for instance, you can close your

umbrella before entering your home or get your keys out to unlock the door without getting wet.

Granted, you will let more light into your home without an awning over the door or window. However,

you can still incur too much sun exposure when you are inside and that can also prove harmful over

time.

Even though you are inside your home, if you let sun beat down on you throughout the day this increases

the risk of developing skin cancer – when you have window awnings in Adelaide put on your home, you

will still be able to enjoy the great outdoors while protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays at the

same time.

Although some people have this vision of the industrial type awnings you see hanging over shop or

warehouse windows, relax and take a breath – your home isn’t going to look like some corner

convenience store or mini-mart with Stan Bond window awnings. You can choose the colors, shapes,

and sizes that appeal to you and keep it looking like a home. Plus awnings are manufactured in a variety

of materials such as aluminum, fabric, or tile. We not only supply high quality awnings but manufacture

a range of other home improvement products to suit your requirements.

Flexibility In Operation

You can order window awnings in Adelaide in either fixed or retractable models. Unlike the fixed

variety, retractable window awnings enable you to control how they are positioned based on the

amount of weather protection you desire. For example, when it is cold outdoors, you can simply retract

your awning and allow more sunlight in to warm the room. This feature enables you to respond to the

weather outside and control your indoor climate. Retractable awnings can even be synced with home

automation and security systems for more convenience and added protection when you are away from

home.

Décor And Style

As we mentioned above, window awnings in Adelaide are available in a variety of materials, shapes, and

sizes. Plus they can also be customized to fit over non-standard size windows. You can select from

materials such as canvas, fiberglass, or wood in order to suit the architectural aesthetics and style of

your home. If you want to create a more appealing curbside décor, awnings are the ideal way to

accomplish this. Furthermore, they offer the additional benefit of extending a building’s color schemes

and signage, making them an ideal addition benefit to business establishments and retail environments.

Pricing And Installation

Awnings like canopies are relatively cost-effective when you compare them to built-in shading

equipment or other permanent protective fixtures. They can be installed even after the building has

been standing for several years or as the finishing touches of the construction stage. Plus, retractable

awnings in Adelaide can be an aesthetically appealing security solution. Finally, the pricing of awnings

will fluctuate based on a number of variables such as color, fixed or retractable operation, material,

shape, and size. Ultimately, budget or personal preference will be the determining factor when it comes

to selecting your awnings.

The Importance Of Home Security Doors And Screens

Have you ever wondered how secure your home really is whenever you aren’t in it? Most people never

give home security a second thought if they have a system in place or live in a good neighborhood.

However, just because you live in one of the safest neighborhoods in your city, it doesn’t mean that you

are immune to burglars or some other criminal act. So how secure are your doors and windows? Just

because you have locking doors and windows, a burglar could still a find a way into your home, if they

were desperate enough. That is why we cannot stress enough about the importance of having adequate

protection at home.

Enhanced Home Security / Protection Of Family

Here’s something else to think about. What if you and your family are home when that desperate

burglar attempts to enter your home? Consequently, you can enhance your home security by installing

security doors in Adelaide. You can also make your windows more secure with security screens in

Adelaide covering them. It is very important that you consider having these devices fitted to your doors

and windows for security reasons alone. Not only will this make your home more secure, intruders will

be far less likely to target your home. They certainly don’t want to waste their time cutting through

these when they can be elsewhere. The changing times and increase in crime rates have been one of the

reasons for the growing demand for security additions to doors and windows. With our range of simple

yet chic style of home security products, they will not just suit your home but still look good.

At Stan Bond, we know that home security is not just about protecting your assets, property, and

valuables; it’s also a matter of keeping you and your family safe from harm. Having security doors in

Adelaide over entryways in the back, front, and/or side of your home will deter intruders because it will

be much harder for them to break into your home. Basically, your home is going to look much less

inviting if you have security doors and screens in place. This is a very cost-effective way to enhance your

home security and protect your family in the process.

Added Home Value

Any type of improvements that are added to the structure of your home is going to increase its curb

appeal and value. This is also a plus should you decide to list it for sale. Just like adding a bedroom or a

patio and outdoor kitchen, the addition of security doors in Adelaide as well as security screens in

Adelaide is going to add value to your home. These items do not look cold and sterile because many of

them are constructed using fancy iron work and have colored glass and scrolls embedded in them.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about settling for plain looking doors and screens with bars on

them.

Keep Your Home Cooler

With a security door and security screens in place, you can open up your home and save on your air

conditioning bill while at the same time keeping the outside world where it belongs – outside. If there is

a nice evening or morning breeze, you can generate a pleasant cross current through your home,

thereby keeping the inside temperature down and being comfortable in the process. The bottom line is

that this could save you money on your monthly utility bill. And having added security in today’s times

can be of advantage. Thus, bring home the peace of mind that you and your family deserve.

Reduce Your Homeowner’s Insurance Premium

In addition to all of the above helpful information, Stan Bond also knows that security doors in Adelaide

will have a positive impact on your homeowner’s insurance premium costs. The same holds true where

security screens in Adelaide are concerned. In most cases, having these installed will reduce what you

pay to protect your home and its contents – and that includes your family. If you can prove that you

have enhanced your home security by making certain additions to it, and we will be happy to help with

this, then your premium rates should be noticeably reduced.

Enjoying The Different Styles Of Shower Screens

For many individuals, there is nothing that is more calming and relaxing after a stressful day at work or

shopping than a warm shower. It’s isn’t so much the soothing pulse of the shower that makes us feel

better. It’s the fact that your bathroom is that one peaceful place in your home where you can indulge

yourself and let the rest of the world just drift slowly by. Even though you may only do this a few times

a week, you want to enjoy that time and the atmosphere you have created with the décor in that room.

It is important that the shower screens go well with the bathroom décor, so that the continuity is

maintained. Like any other fixture you install in your bathroom, the shower screen you select can have a

negative or a positive impact on that room. If you pick the wrong shower screen, it will compromise the

aesthetics of the entire room. But if you pick the right one, it will enhance the overall appearance and

mood of your bathroom. The choice of a shower screen may seem daunting and frustrating, unless you

choose from the assortment of shower screens in Adelaide that we offer here at Stan Bond.

Types of Shower Screens to choose from

In order to choose the right shower screen for your bathroom, it pays to know more about the product

before investing in it. For instance, when it comes to design and style, there are 3 basic kinds of shower

screens in Adelaide styles to choose from as follows:

Framed – this type of screen was designed and developed to anchor down your shower space by providing form and structure. Stan Bond shower screens are available in a number of colors and metallic finishes so you will be able to compliment just about any color scheme and décor. All of the framed shower screens that we offer can be easily customized to match your colors and/or finish specifications. Plus our framed shower screens are now available in a wide range of panel finishes and thicknesses.

Frameless – the ultimate in design, luxury, and style is a frameless shower screen. These easily compliment any décor in any bathroom by utilizing uncluttered lines to add aesthetic appeal. From a practical standpoint, cleaning the glass doors and panels of the different shower screens in Adelaide is relatively easy compared to sliding glass shower doors. Plus, our frameless shower screens are available with customized or standard hardware. At Stan Bond, we think of this type of shower screen as an investment in value.

Semi-frameless – the benefit of installing this type of shower screen is attributed to its clever construction and the sealants or sealing components that are utilized. This ensures a very important benefit, namely little or no shower enclosure water leakage. With its overlap pivot door, the functionality of it further enhances the already streamlined design. Plus, the design is not only aesthetically appealing, it’s extremely practical.

As you can readily see, there is much to consider where the design and style of shower screens in

Adelaide is concerned. And you want the best that your money can buy.

A Brief Overview Of Window Films

When the sunlight is too strong, even blinds cannot give you the opacity that you’d like. That is when

you need window films. Whether you call it “solar control”, window tint, or window film, you are talking

about the same product. However, the term “window film” refers to commercial and residential

applications whereas the term “window tint” is commonly used in an automotive application context.

No matter what you choose to call it, Stan Bond Screen and Shade Solutions offers a wide range of

window film in Adelaide products. We not only supply quality window treatment but have a wide range

of home improvement products to suit all style needs. So why choose window film instead of some

other type of window covering or treatment?

Actually, you can install window film by itself or in conjunction with awnings, blinds, screens, verticals,

and just about any other type of window covering or treatment you can imagine. In addition to this,

window film can be clear or it can be customized in colors and patterns in order to complement your

interior décor. Plus, these films can be ordered in a variety of thicknesses for safety, security, and solar

applications.

How Does It Work?

In order to understand how window film in Adelaide products actually work, you need a little education

about solar radiation. There are 3 components that solar radiation is comprised of:

infrared rays

ultraviolet or UV rays

visible light

Visible light is the only component that we can physically see whereas we can only feel the effects of

infrared and ultraviolet rays. When solar radiation hits your door or window glass, the heat and light it

gives off normally passes through the glass and enter your home. But, if you place a piece of window

film in Adelaide on that glass, it reduces the amount of heat and light that would normally pass through

it and enter that room in your home. The percentage of heat and light that gets reflected or rejected by

the window film depends entirely on what type that you select.

Furthermore, the solar and thermal performance of your home and office windows can be enhanced by

that window film because most types are energy efficient. By reducing the amount of solar heat that is

gained, you can reduce the impact on you’re A/C system during peak periods of the day when it is

consuming the most energy. Additionally, “low-e” or low emissivity window film in Adelaide products

improve you window’s insulating properties. When you consider how this helps reduce your cooling and

heating bills, it’s a win-win situation.

Types Of Window Film To Be Aware Of

Window films are extremely thin, have a scratch-resistant coating, and are normally made by using a

polyester base. Some are comprised of multiple layers of polyester yet are still only millimeters in

thickness. They are usually manufactured with an adhesive on one side so that the film can be easily

attached to your door and window glass. Manufacturers create the film’s sun barrier by using different

additives that help to create its characteristics. In most cases, these additives are patented by the

manufacturer.

One type of window film in Adelaide is dyed and absorbs the harmful UV rays of the sun to protect your

indoor environment. By absorbing the heat build-up in the window glass, you can prevent potential

breakage. There are two other types of window film to be aware of. One is metalized or has different

metals embedded into its polyester base. The other reflects sunlight by using advanced ceramic

materials. Despite how the two types differ, they both do the same thing, namely reflect a large

percentage of the harmful UV rays coming from the sun. You need to protect your furniture and room

from the harsh sunlight, as it can lead to fading of upholstery.
