The importance of a qualified tradesman.

When you’re designing your dream home you want to ensure you give it the best attention that it deserves. Not only do you want to install the best features and accessories you also want to ensure that you hire a quality and experienced tradesmen.

Building and renovations can be difficult and extremely stressful. To ease the pressure many people hire a tradesman so that the job goes as smoothly as possible. The work of the tradesmen will reflect in the quality of your home, and unfortunately there is an abundance of tradesmen in the building industry that are neither qualified nor experienced. Glaziers can call them self Glaziers without any trade experience or qualifications behind them. Our Boss here at Point Cook glass has been in the industry for over 25 years and his attention to detail and professionalism is a high priority.

Hiring a qualified tradesman will bring you a sense of security and guarantee, for you can be assured that the work will be of the highest quality and standard. Here are three things that you can do to ensure your job gets done professionally and of the highest standard.

Ask questions. It is important that you develop a positive and honest relationship with those undertaking work for you. Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions and do your research so that you are completely clear on what it is that you want to achieve. Make sure they know their stuff.

Check qualifications. If you are uncertain ask where your Glazier completed their apprenticeship. Make sure they have public liability and insurance. Check to see if they offer a warranty and remember – if you need a Australian Standard Certificate for your insurance co. – you want to make sure they’re able to supply you with one when the jobs finished!

Check references. Ask how long the tradesmen or company has been trading and what experience they have. Research past jobs performed and get recent examples of the tradesmen’s work if possible. Socail proof always lets you know how good or bad that company is.

When it comes to installing your glass splashback make sure that you get somebody that comes highly recommended because unfortunately in Victoria anyone can install your splashback. To avoid shoddy work, always check with your glazier that they’re a qualified tradesman fro peace of mind and good workmanship.

2013 trends in interior colours

So you are trying to decide on colours for your home, however every time you walk down the paint aisle of your local hardware store you feel so small as the colour options gradually overwhelm you. The colour choice process is often stressful and indecisive and the simplicity of choosing colour can be one of the most overwhelming choices when designing a new home.

There is no secret to getting it right; it all comes down to personal preference and style. To give you a little colour inspiration here is a forecast of colour trends that we will be seeing in homes throughout 2013.

Indigo. This beautiful purple colour is a striking statement colour associated with wisdom and honesty that enhances your living space. Like the dreamy ocean landscapes, this colour gives a sense of tranquility and stability.  Indigo is also a versatile hue, and it pairs very well with brights of a similar hue, such as citrus colours, as well as other blues, purples and greens.

Tangerine. This sizzling shade adds instant style to any colour-dehydrated room, creating a bold and timeless impact. Mixing this colour with timeless elements creates a look that is bold, fresh and modern.

Lemon. The shades of pale lemon are very uplifting and fresh. A dash of lemon will bring about a little happiness, sunshine and energy into a room.

Emerald. The colour emerald portrays “sophisticated” and conjures a feeling of “well-being”. A dash of this colour in the home will soothe the soul.

Neutrals. Gray is the new neutral and has been the trend for the last few years and according to colour experts it is here to stay for 2013. To be on trend, pair it with jewel tones of amethyst or emerald, citrus tones of lemon, or bold tangerine.

Designing your dream Kitchen

Over the years innovation and design has made it much easier and affordable to design our dream home. With the design of beautiful fittings and accessories, homes are looking more chic and beautiful than ever. However with the extensive range of options now available, it can become quite overwhelming when considering which options to use. Just like fashion, kitchens can date. You have the classic designs that last a lifetime and you have the trends that last only a couple of years. When designing your new kitchen you want to consider a look that will last at least 10 years.

A great way to preserve the look of your kitchen is to consider installing a Glass Splashback. Glass Splashbacks are a huge trend in both kitchens and bathrooms in homes all over Australia.  And the best thing about them is that they won’t be out of fashion and have to be replaced down the track in a few year’s time.

You might wonder why you should use Glass Splashbacks in your kitchen where years ago tiling was the  traditional fixing.  Firstly Glass Splashbacks are easier to clean and unlike tiles there are no cracks and spaces for mould and bacteria to live. And secondly the problem with tiles is that they can often crack and may fade and look worn out over the years.  If a tile breaks it is not an easy job to replace it, particularly if the tiles have been there for many years, for you may not be able to match the tile. Glass Splashback’s are made out of toughened glass and are made to last!

Glass splashbacks will give a whole new dimension and look to your home. Because they’re reflection – they add space too! So now that you know more about Glass Splashbacks, are you wondering if you can get it in that perfect colour? Yes! You will definitely find your perfect choice with us at Point Cook Glass. We can colour match to your needs and we even paint your Glass Splashback on site in our Melbourne factory. Let us help you create and bring your dream kitchen to life.
