Our Hunter Patios and Additions experts have put together a simple guide on what you should know about extending your properties. Contact our team for professional assistance.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
All the facts and information you need when making the decision to put an extension on your property

Have your circumstances have changed? Maybe there is a baby on the way. Maybe the kids have outgrown their bedrooms. Perhaps you want to be able to accommodate guests overnight or just have a space to entertain. You're on a fitness kick and have decided it's time to put in a gym. The car you've dreamed about since you were a kid needs a place to be parked.

Life can change, and your needs throughout life naturally change. Sure, you can move into a place that has any or all of the changes you want but the property market is still very hot, and interest rates are rising. Yet, you like your current neighbourhood, your kids are settled at school and quite frankly moving is the worst, it's never stress free.

It makes sense for you to extend your existing home instead of going through all the hassle of moving house. You can incorporate all the design features you want, decide on your budget and depending on the size and scope of your ideas, it can be achieved with a minimum of disruption to your everyday lifestyle. Like all good ideas though, there is a lot to take into consideration and so we have collected a list of all the important things to consider when making the decision to put an extension on your property.

Planning and approval

Depending on the size of your extension and the policies of your local council, you may require permits to be able to carry out the work you want done. Development applications, building permits, demolition permits and adherence to local town planning rules might all be necessary at some point. Check with your architect or builder who will usually be well informed about these issues and in most cases, will take care of the necessary paperwork for you.

It is also worth considering the impact any work you are planning might have on your neighbours. Any drastic alterations to your property can lead to issues like privacy concerns or possible overshadowing. Accessibility for workers may cause inconvenience and of course there is construction noise to think about. If you have a decent relationship with your neighbours, try and engage with them in an informal way. You can incorporate any concerns expressed into your planning and possibly head off the potential for messy and costly disputes at a later stage.

Project management

If you like a challenge, there's no reason you can't be your own project manager but you'll need to be able to dedicate a lot of time and organisational skill to pull it off. If you already have a job that requires a similar level of effort, it will be hard to make the time. A professional project manager knows the ropes, knows the tradies and knows how to get the job done as close to on time and on budget as possible. You also get the peace of mind knowing that all contractors will be suitably licenced and insured in case the unthinkable does happen.

How much will it cost?

Knowing your budget before you start is an important aspect of any project.

It's quite difficult to pin down the exact cost of a project before it's completion. Take the time to consider all of the factors that will influence how much you pay, from permits to building materials, from professional advice to the size of your project, from how tricky your site is to access to possible removal of hazardous materials. A quote will generally give you fairly decent idea of what to expect financially. The most recently released estimates from Archicentre Australia suggest you expect somewhere between $1900 to $3600 a square metre. Your builder will be able to give you the best estimate according to your requirements.

Check your insurance

You almost certainly have home insurance so it is vitally important to check with your insurer if your renovation plans are covered by your existing policy. Check if you need the added protection to consider construction insurance, ensure your existing policy isn't compromised by any work you have planned and keep in mind that your newly extended property may not be covered. A phone call to your insurer or a chat with an insurance broker should take care of any doubts.

When should I start?

This might be tempting fate a little, who'd want to be a weather forecaster these days? As a general rule of thumb however it is wiser to start your project in the drier spring and summer months (they were dry once upon a time!). Just be careful not to run your build too close to Christmas as tradies usually have at least a couple of weeks off over new year which might delay completion.

Adding value to your home

An extension can bring extra functional and financial value to your home. With the design to suit your lifestyle, you can enjoy greater quality of life, whether it means more space or better accommodating the needs of your family. There's also the financial benefit, depending on the additions you have made. Spaces that take of advantage of modern design trends and energy efficiency methods are definite selling points for homebuyers and investors. An extra bedroom, updated bathroom or kitchen, storage areas or an entertaining deck are all highly valued improvements.

Will I need to move?

This will be entirely dependent on you. A great advantage of extending is that it is often possible to live around the work being carried out. Check how your project will impact important areas of your home, such as water being cut off to allow plumbing alterations or interruptions to electricity or gas supplies. You can naturally expect some building noise and debris but again this may only occur during times when you are yourself out of the home for work or social reasons. It might even be the ideal excuse to treat yourself to lunch a bit more often!

 The Advantages of Outdoor Blinds for Home Privacy

# data[].attributes.body
Hunter Patios & Additions is a reputable vendor of outdoor blinds. Learn a few key tips on how residential property owners can benefit from outside blinds.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Valuable tips for residential homeowners

There are many good options for increasing outdoor privacy and, of all those options, outdoor blinds from Hunter Patios & Additions remain at the top because of the many benefits they offer in addition to keeping away prying eyes. How do you achieve privacy with your outdoor blinds? Here's how...!

10 tips on how to increase privacy with outdoor blinds

Just installing your outdoor blinds usually isn't enough - it's vital also to strategise their use. Here are some tips on how to increase privacy by using blinds (click on each one to find out more):

1. Choose your material

The first step, naturally, is to select the blinds. At Hunter Patios & Additions, we recommend you base this selection on two things: Level of privacy preferred, and aesthetics.

If you want complete privacy, choose blinds that have smaller meshing. This way, when the blinds are open, vision from the exterior is still minimal. On the other hand, if you only need partial obstruction, you may want the larger mesh options. Regarding aesthetics, there are many different designs to choose from. Match the design with the motif of the outdoor area to maximise aesthetic appeal.

2. Put the support structures in place

Outdoor blinds need proper support structures that need to be fitted correctly in order to function properly. Some important points to take note of regarding these supports are the following:

Pillars are excellent to use as braces for the ends of the blinds.

Outdoor roofs are perfect for completely obstructing the view. Blinds can also hang from these roofs if they're sturdy enough.

Existing structures such as gazebos and verandas are the best support structures for blinds.

Movable braces are also a good choice if one prefers mobility with outdoor privacy.

3. Optimise blind positioning.

Increasing privacy involves covering all bases and properly obstructing the view. As such, it's important to optimise the spaces covered when installing blinds. Some ways of doing so include the following:

Minimising uncovered gaps.

Obscuring the view from different angles.

Making the most out of the usable space.

Using the correct size and type of blinds.

4. Pick materials that suit your climate

Outdoor blinds are in constant contact with natural elements. This can cause damage over time, so it's crucial to pick the right kind of material based on the climate in the area. For example, stainless steel blinds can work almost everywhere. Wooden blinds, on the other hand, work great in sunny areas. These can also last long in rainy areas by using protective wood coats. Picking the right material can help make the blinds last longer and keep privacy up in the outdoor area whenever needed.

5. Create partitions

Partitioning your blinds involves using smaller segments to cover up a larger area. With this method, you can selectively obscure some areas while keeping visibility up in others. For example, if you want to increase privacy on the entire veranda, installing one long segment of blinds is a bad option, because obstructing the view becomes all-or-nothing.

To help address this, section the blinds in smaller portions so they also cover smaller sections of the veranda. This way, the homeowner can select which areas to obstruct at any given time. If you think this is the way to go for your blinds, contact us at Hunter Patios & Additions for more information.

6. Use window film for extra privacy.

Some outdoor areas like patios and gazebos have glass windows. These can benefit from the use of window film. Window films are easy to apply - simply stick the film on the surface of the glass to reduce visibility from the exterior. In addition, using both films and blinds can help increase privacy in their respective areas.

7. Motorise your blinds

Almost everything is automatable nowadays and blinds are no exception. Consider motorising the blinds to increase control over obstruction and visibility. Some even have automated opening and closing mechanisms based on the time of day.

8. Plants and fencing can help further increase privacy

Other installations can help further increase privacy in a property. Plants, statues, panels and fencing might seem like simple additions, but they work well at obstructing the view.

For fencing height, ensure that the fencing is high enough to keep away prying eyes. Regarding the material, select one that's both aesthetically pleasing and functional in terms of privacy. Wooden fencing, for example, is a great option.

9. Undertake regular cleaning and maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance of outdoor blinds are also crucial in preventing damage. Naturally, this is important since damaged blinds can undermine efforts toward increasing privacy in the property.

Make sure to remove dust or dirt, and always check for chips or dents in the material. Do a regular check for damage to prevent it from getting worse. Also, ask for maintenance tips from the manufacturer of the blinds. They would know how to maintain the product best.

10. Remove the blinds in extreme weather

Finally, always take down the blinds during cases of extreme weather. Luckily, these are not too common in Australia, but it still pays to be safe, in case they get damaged or ripped from your property or cause direct damage to the property itself.

Do outdoor blinds have other benefits?

Yes! Blinds aren't just used to increase your privacy. They can also protect the patio, garden, pergola, or gazebo from the elements. Outdoor furnishings are particularly susceptible to these elements, so it is necessary to have a barrier to prevent damage. These blinds can help protect these furnishings against strong winds, harsh sunlight, insects, dust, rain, and heat.

Outdoor blinds also contribute to the aesthetics of the property. This is particularly notable if the design matches the area where the blinds are installed.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Skillion Roofing

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Skillion Roofing

# data[].attributes.body
Let our experts at Hunter Patios and Additions help you choose from four different types of pitched roofs, differing in their steepness.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How can a skillion roof improve the function and look of your outdoor space? Let's find out...

Roofing is an integral part of every structure. However, there are many types of roofing options available and, while it's true that they all provide protection from the elements, they can vary in durability, design, and materials.

The choice of a roof should be based on both the preference of the owner and on research. Here, the team at Hunter Patios & Additions have outlined the benefits and disadvantages of installing a skillion roof.

Types of skillion roof

A skillion roof is a pitched roof with a single slope. It is also known as a mono-pitched roof and differs from a flat roof due to its steepness and pitch. Over the years, the skillion roof has evolved. These changes resulted in four different types of skillion roofs, differing in their steep pitch.

Butterfly roof - Also known as a V roof, the butterfly roof looks like the inverted version of a standard roof shape.

Oval roof - It is a curved skillion roof, which allows for a larger indoor space.

Split-skillion roof - It combines the traditional gabled roof with a skillion roof for a more stylish home.

Multiple skillion sections - Several skillion roofs at different heights add a unique character to the property.

Cons of a skillion roof

Of course, it is not all benefits when choosing to install a skillion roof (but we will get to those below). Skillions also come with a set of disadvantages that homeowners should be aware of before making their roofing choice:

No attic storage

Vulnerability to wind damage

Low ceiling height

Not suited for all types of property.

No attic storage

If you envision an attic for the house, then a skillion roof is a poor choice. The Australian building code requires that the attic space be at least 2.4m high to be used as a living space. A gabled or hip roof is more convenient for an attic space than a skillion roof. A skillion roof has a tighter angle than the two, making it impractical to build a liveable attic space.

Vulnerability to wind damage

Skillion roofs are vulnerable to strong winds and hurricanes. Hiring an expert roofer, such as Hunter Patios & Additions, during installation and utilising different roof slopes can make a skillion roof much stronger and more wind resistant.

Low ceiling height

When the skillion roof is too steep, it can result in a low ceiling height. It is therefore crucial that proper angle and design are observed to ensure you are happy with the results.

Not suited for all types of property

Since a skillion roof has no attic space and a lower ceiling height, it is not suitable for properties with a small amount of available space. It also cannot cover the entire house because of its limited span.

Pros of a skillion roof

Here are some thought provoking reasons to choose a skillion roof:

Easy construction

Good rain drainage

Modern design aesthetic

Easy solar panel installation

Skylight options

Durability

Suitability to house extensions.

Easy construction

The skillion roof is easier to construct compared with other roof shapes. Its single slope will not require many roofing materials, which also lowers the installation costs. This also means it will be faster to install.

Of course, cheaper does not have to mean plain and boring. Homeowners can go for attractive shingle roof colours for their skillion roofing to make it stand out from the rest of the neighbourhood in a good way.

Good rain drainage

Pooled rainwater on a roof is dangerous. It can lead to leaks and, as the moisture seeps into the walls, it can also lead to costly structural damage.

The roof should be able to let water drain properly to avoid roofing damage. Flat roofs are troublesome because they tend to collect water instead of directing it straight to the gutters and the drains.

A skillion roof also provides the same modern appeal as a flat roof. A skillion roof naturally prevents water ponding because of its shape. For a more dramatic look, homeowners can choose a steeply pitched skillion roof.

Modern design aesthetic

A skillion roof effortlessly gives a structure a modern and cleaner look. Simple and clean lines are in, both for homes and commercial structures. A skillion roof can instantly give the building an unconventional yet modern appeal. It can even instantly elevate the beauty of a shed and make it look more stylish.

Easy solar panel installation

Solar power contributed to 10% of the generated electricity in Australia in 2020 and 2021. The government is supporting the shift to this renewable energy source by funding solar research to benefit consumers.

Investing in a solar system installation is a great way to save on electricity bills, be sustainable, and help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. The shape of a skillion roof likewise makes the shift to solar energy much easier because it can easily accommodate the installation of solar panels, providing they the roof faces the best direction for your panels.

Skylight options

The mission to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable is a daily pursuit. Another way to save on energy usage is to install skylights which, like solar panels, are easier to install on a skillion roof.

Skylights let the household enjoy the natural light and warmth provided by the sun, as well as reducing energy consumption for lights during the daytime, and heating during the winter months. Skylights also make a room look larger than it actually is, making the house look and feel more spacious.

Durability

Because of its shape, a skillion roof can last longer than its counterparts. Its slope provides proper water drainage, saving it from water damage and problems. It also requires lesser maintenance, making it cheaper and more efficient in the long run.

Suitability to house extensions

A skillion roof can be easily installed in house extensions, without ruining the whole look of the property. It can be used for a shed, garage, patio, and other outdoor spaces.
