Hi neighbours,
Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.

You can keep your new windows looking their best for many years by following a few simple tips:
- Vacuum inside the frame and hinges
- Brush off dirt
- Use a warm soapy solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the dirty window
- Rinse with clean water

Windows have working parts so it's essential that these parts are well maintained to ease the friction of the moving parts inside your window frames.

To keep your windows in great condition for years it's best to keep the inner chambers of your windows clean and clear of built-up residue.

If you need an expert to assess your windows & doors, give us a call today on 0800 252500 or click the link to book a visit!

It’s been a long year, so we have good reason to rejoice when thinking of the interior design trends we love most for 2021 and onwards.

From the growing importance of sustainable materials to elegant elements and a celebration of individuality and uniqueness, our 2021 trend edit will provide you with a curated look that will bring your home into the New Year with sensational style.

With many people’s attitudes on life changing during 2020, and many wishing they could get away this year, we take a look ahead at the interior design trends for 2021.


1. Take a maximalist approach to decorating
For those who love colourful decoration, this maximalist look channels the free-spirited essence of the celebrated Bloomsbury artists and their creative flair. Bravely mix contrast patterns across a scheme, harmonising the eclectic mix with different scales of print, and one or two grounding common tones to pull all the patterns together. The Bloomsbury artists painted not only their walls but their furniture, too. Mix large-scale wall decor with small-scale decorative details to create playful layers.
2. Combine checks and stripes
Everyone’s two favourite patterns combine for this fun new trend that mixes the classic check and stripe with new-season colours.

Mix and match patterns in different scales to create the right 
balance. In this bedroom the delicately patterned cushions and eiderdown soften the effect of the stripes and checks on the wall and bed.

3. Slide into sculptural furniture
Carefully curated displays of shapely figures and organic forms take centre stage creating quiet drama in neutral spaces. As the striking furnishings and lighting in this living room show, sculptural can be beautiful and useful. For those with a love of ceramics, group pieces together behind glass or on a humble window shelf. Curved and shapely furniture and vessels draw the eye, inviting your gaze to dance across the space.

4. Be bold with a primary palette
We love this considered trend which gives interiors an artistic edge by using two primary colours against a muted palette. Here, a statement lamp with big personality is the perfect way to bring colour into an existing neutral space. And such vibrant colour helps a piece to stand out from the crowd.

In larger spaces wooden furniture and natural jute flooring is given a new lease of life with a sprinkling of bright primary colours.


5. Transport yourself to warmer climes with a wall mural
Adorning interiors with maximum escapism, tropical wall-coverings full of lively patterns and dreamy painterly scenes are just what interiors are craving this year. This ‘La Passion De Diego’ mural by Elitis featuring oversized Mexican plant-life and a silhouette of Frida Kahlo has a woven pattern incorporated into the design to add texture and depth to balance the bold colour.'

Traffic at kidney shape roundabout

Quinton from Milson

Has anyone else experienced the major traffic backing up on both Gilespie and Tremaine coming into town? Its like our city exploded with traffic. I think the council might need to think of alternative traffic management there as they constantly need to patch holes there too.
