DOORS and windows
?Doors and windows are the mouths and
eyes of our home- letting the right amount
of chi? (energy) to enter the home.? - Sarah
Rossbach, Interior Design and Feng Shui.
Select a window and a door and you have created
Future Windows the thumbprint for your home. Putting it simply,
it dictates the style of
your home. It?s pertinent
to do a hefty amount
of research before the

For Gates And Doors
Graeme from ?Door
World in Mornington?
believes door finishes
are overriding the actual
construction of doors.
High gloss finishes, big
pivot doors, steel doors
available from Door World
with a ?colorbond? finish and doors inlayed
with stainless steel have become popular. He
believes people are putting more thought into
the statement their door is going to make for
their home. Solid timber doors are less popular,
(possibly due to upkeep)- however maybe
a timeless piece and shouldn?t be ignored,
particularly with the types of timber in the market
place. Glazing also makes a statement whether
choosing horizontal, vertical or square slots
and the type of glazing from an etched glass to
translucent glass radically effects not only the
privacy of the home but light emission too.
Windows are becoming more light industrial
orientated- being a bit chunkier, with sashless
and shug windows are, a popular choice with
modern homes.
Industry members say that the windows on the
fa?ade of the home make
the statement, however
windows can vary from room
to room according to the
rooms individual requirement-
as long as it is the same
manufacturer and material.
Rin from ?Future Windows?
in Mornington manufactures
long lasting timber windows
that meet the ?strict standards
of safety, function and
durability?. A high priority,
Rin believes, is in a window?s
strength, wind and water
resistance, air filtration
(for energy) and acoustic
efficiency and use if course
ease of usage. Doubleglazing,
Rin says, is becoming
popular particularly in our
ever-increasing awareness of
5 star rating requirements.
The choice of products
used being western red cedar
and merbou.
