Glass walls, working water
Blinds in Newcastle East and the harbour apartments
From the East End towers to the apartments along the old rail yards at Honeysuckle, the wall is glass and the view is the point: ships, cranes, the water changing all day. The blind's job here is subtraction, take away glare and exposure, leave everything you paid for.
The apartment spec
Sheers first. On view glass we start from the most open fabric that solves the problem, usually a sheer that breaks the glare and softens afternoon exposure while the horizon stays sharp enough to enjoy. Bedrooms and any room used after dark add a blockout layer on a dual roller, because open weaves show a lit room at night.
Motorised where it earns it. A wall of glass three panels wide is a daily chore on chains and a single button on a motor. Battery tubes avoid wiring in a finished apartment; timers can manage the western sun while you're at work. We'll be straight about where a chain does the same job for less.
Strata, neatly handled
Most schemes here care about two things: what the window line looks like from the street, and how contractors behave in the building. We fit low-profile hardware in finishes that read uniform from outside, work to lift bookings and access windows, and leave common areas as we found them. If your scheme has a by-law on external appearance, tell us in the enquiry and we'll spec within it, it's a normal part of this work, not a complication.
Owners' corporations refreshing a whole line of units at once: the same window-by-window schedule scales to a building. Send the details through the form.
