Bob Burns Blinds Ask us about motorisation SAVE ENERGY AND KEEP COOL - SHADE SOLUTIONS Sandy White with sons Russell and Shaun carrying on the Bob Burns family business ON A HOT DAY, MORE ENERGY IS LOST THROUGH ONE SQUARE FOOT OF GLASS THAN THROUGH AN ENTIRE INSULATED WALL Bob Burns Blinds has the solution to insulate your windows. The classic awning has been proven to insulate your home from the fierce summer heat and has come a long way from when Bob first started. There are many new fabrics and styles available to suit all situations. There is still the reliable canvas in its many colours of stripes or plains, but for the modern lifestyle the Sun Screen is the fabric of the future. It has many heat resistant properties and will protect your home with up to 95% UV protection and still let you have your view. Awnings can reduce a home s internal temperature by 5ºC - 8ºC. Internal Sun Screens Roller Blinds are the new fashion statement with clean lines and easy operation. Bob Burns Blinds has a full range of sun screen products which give you UV protection but still let you have your view. The Combination Blind incorporates the sun screen fabric for privacy and view and full block fabric for privacy at night. New Products Panel Glides are a modern and stylish approach to furnishing your windows and doorways. The use of large flat panels of fabric create a striking minimalist look. They are perfect for large windows and sliding doors as well as room dividers. Panel Glide fabrics come in block-out which is ideal for sleeping areas or translucent fabrics which create a soft, filtered light effect whilst providing good levels of privacy. This gives you the ability for better light control which in turn can enhance the room ambience. Security and Protection Not everything at Bob Burns Blinds is about shutting out the sun: with the increase in the crime rate we can also help with securing your home. Our Stainless Steel Invisigard doors provide the strongest security available. The Invisigard door gives you the protection but doesn t obscure your view so you can feel safe at night while you enjoy the summer breeze. We also have a large range of decorative doors in many colours and designs. Bob Burns Blinds is a proud South Australian company and prides itself on employing South Australians. With the new decade, a new generation is now promoting South Australia.

Carport & Verandah Wholesalers WHY AN OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AREA WILL MAKE YOUR HOME THAT MUCH BETTER Light, airy and large a new dimension to your home and alfresco luxury to your lifestyle ADDING AN OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING AREA TO YOUR HOME CAN BE BENEFICIAL ON MANY LEVELS PROVIDING EXTRA LIVING SPACE, FUSS-FREE ENTERTAINING AND ADDING INCREASED VALUE TO YOUR HOME. Greg Smith, owner of Carport and Verandah Wholesalers, knows that his clients are often no longer looking to simply put up a pergola, but to build an outdoor entertainment area that will complement their home and create a whole new space to use all year round. This new space can be a sound investment and add a lot of value to a home - however, it is important to get it right from the start, so you can enjoy it for a long time to come! When planning to build an outdoor entertainment area, there are many different factors to think about: what is the purpose of this extension to your home? Is it to keep the weather out, purely an entertainment space, a place for the kids to play or a combination of all those? Another important area to consider is how the outdoor feature will suit the style of your home. You should ensure that the additions blend in. Greg and his team can help when deciding on structure, materials and colours. And they can provide you with information on the latest design ideas and flexibility in styles and concepts. Whatever the project, big or small, Carport & Verandah Wholesalers Greg Smith, Paul Bandik and Trevor Bannister bring a wealth of experience to the job, which is gleaned from over 25 years in the home improvement industry.
