WENDY HOUSES

WENDY HOUSES

Timbacore strives to provide all their clientele with quality products that are value for money. You can choose to let us manufacture and install for you, ask us to manufacture and you install, or you can DIY with quality timber supplies & products from our timberyard and retail shop.

Have you considered, when purchasing your next wendy house, what you need to know to compare price and value for money?

How familiar are you with Wendy houses, or do you prefer to make your purchases on a phone?

Let’s make one thing very clear. You have to see the product prior to buying it, and, you have to familiarise yourself with the product. Most people tend to only discover problems associated with a product when it is too late.

As there are no specifications set out for wooden cabins or Wendy houses as they are so often called, it is easy to end up on the bad end of a deal with little or no recourse.

With all the above in mind, we would like to share with you what we believe should be the specifications and ultimately, what you, as a client should look out for.

We have a wide range of Timber cladding, Loglap, Halflog, Shiplap, Flat weather board and Rustic cladding fixed with Gun Nails. We offer both Nutec and Shera board “handy plank”, fixed with stainless steel screws.

Floors: The 22mm tongue & groove flooring should be CCA pressure treated to at least H3, fixed onto floor joists which should be no more than 600mm apart.

Remember, our roofsheets hold a 15 year guarantee and our timber a 20 year, SABS approved, supplier warranty against rotting, beetles etc.

Timbacore is widely known within the industry and Westen Cape homeowners for quality, value for money and outstanding service.

Timbacore only does business with sawmills that vet their products. Long term relationships with select sawmills and importers mean that we are proud to uphold the guarantee we offer.

These come with a supplier guarantee of 15 years.

(We are also willing to work with other types depending on a customers preference, of course)

As the owner of Timbacore, Nathaniel Roberts personally handles the majority of sketches & designs for custom orders. The Timbacore team are all highly skilled at their carpentry trades and have the ability to offer recommendations on the type of timber to be used for a project, the hardware required, the correct application of products e.g. insulation & cladding, as well as spatial constraints or layout challenges. It’s all about the attention to detail, great service and the right product for the job, ensuring quality results.

Roof Structure: Timber should be CCA pressure treated to H2 at the very least. Timbacore however prefer to use H3. For example, on a typical pitch roof you have purlins at approx. 600cc onto rafters at 600mm cc, as shown in photo.

Timbacore’s success is testament to the Company’s commitment to putting their customers first and providing quality, guaranteed timber products and projects.

Roof Sheets: You get roof sheets and then you get roof sheets! There is a product on the market aptly named by some a ‘one year roof sheet’, which is 0.3mm thick and lasts approximately one year.

At Timbacore, our roof sheets are Colorbond and Zincalume sheets and they are all 0.47mm thick.

Timber frames for the walls: Once again, the timber should be CCA pressure treated to at least H2, and once again we prefer using H3 treated wood. The frame consists of vertical studs at 600cc and with top and bottom frames, as shown in photo.

Wall Cladding: The wall cladding may be Timber or Fibre Cement (Nutec or Shera board, nicknamed Handy Plank or Planking 8 or 9 x 150mm), however take note they all need to have a proper frame as depicted. The Timber Cladding must be CCA pressure treated H3 (not H2, as H2 is only for inside use) and also could be painted or Wood sealed on the outside to further protect against weathering.

Having started with one outlet in Johannesburg in 2002, Fourways now has 9 branches nationwide.

And Cape Town has just expanded into a great new building.

AIR CONDITIONING

FOURWAYS AIRCONDITIONING: A company on the move!

Fourways Cape’s new premises in Montague Gardens Great oaks, they say, from little acorns grow. And in less than 2 decades, Fourways Airconditioning has blossomed from a single small outlet in Kya-Sands, Johannesburg, into one of the largest suppliers of airconditioners and Heat Pumps in South Africa.

States Jenna Lemos, director of Fourways Cape: “Due to the amazing support we have had from airconditioning and Heat Pump installers in the Western Cape, we have been able to greatly expand our scale of operations over the years, including opening a branch in Helderberg in order to provide on-the-spot service for dealers in this area.

Top quality products “We’ve always focused not only on supplying top quality products – Samsung and Alliance – but also backing our dealers up with top-notch technical and spares support. As a result, the growth we have experienced has enabled us to move into a far larger building in Montague Gardens, Cape Town.

“This has given us ample living room with 500m² of office space plus a 2000m² warehouse so we’re able to carry an even larger selection of stock for immediate delivery. And there’s also a smart warehouse reception area.

Training facilities “Fourways Cape have always placed a high value on the training of installers and we have a spotless new training room. We’ve also taken another big step forward with a DVM system connected to S-Net as well as wi-fi. This means that our technical team can show installers first-hand exactly how to fault check, and also operate the system via an S-Net converter and wi-fi. Finally, to provide assistance by email or telephone as well as on-site, we have 3 qualified technicians and a spares specialist.

“Despite our exponential growth, we never want to lose the personal touch that has always characterised Fourways Air conditioning. It’s all thanks to our dealers’ wonderful support and for that we are very grateful.”

Our products Airconditioners: Fourways Airconditioning supplies both Samsung and Alliance split airconditioners, inverter and noninverter models, cassettes, ducted units, Free Joint Multis, consoles and portable airconditioners. Heat Pumps: Alliance retrofitted Heat Pumps, Commercial Heat Pumps and Swimming Pool Heat Pumps. In addition, Fourways Airconditioning provides nationwide sales and support for all the above products.

“ We’ve always focused not only on supplying top quality products Samsung and Alliance - but also backing our dealers up with topnotch technical and spares support.

All New Look Collection hinged doors are fitted with ‘Secured by Design’ locking mechanisms approved by the UK national police initiative that sets out to reduce crime at the design stage of home improvement.

When it comes to windows and doors, the range of choice seems endless – which makes choosing the right window company a tough task. With the New Look Collection we asked customers what three things are most important to them. The overall response is almost always security, quality and style.

Double-glazed glass units are fitted as standard, but single-glazing is an option if preferred.

All our products are thermally efficient, delivering low U values. We use sustainable materials and manufacturing methods. Our products help to lower energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions.

The high quality materials used in our products result in a technically superior frame – providing unrivalled security and performance.

The New Look Collection windows and doors are fitted with modern European hardware, with handles available in a range of finishes.

New Look Window Systems was established in 2006 in Cape Town to bring the benefits of over 25 years experience of manufacturing and installing uPVC windows and doors to South Africa.

All our windows (unless cockspur handles are chosen for the Ecotec Plus range) are fitted with burglar resistant multi-point locking systems for enhanced security and peace of mind.

The New Look Collection products come with a ten year guarantee on the frames and glass, and a one year guarantee on the hardware (handles, locks, hinges etc). UPVC insulating panels carry a five year guarantee.

We are Roos Garage Doors Cape Town and our factory is situated in Brackenfell Industria. We manufacture, supply and install Aluminium, Aluzinc Steel and Meranti Timber garage doors.

From humble beginnings, Roos Garage Doors Cape Town has grown into the largest garage door manufacturer and supplier in the Western Cape.

In January 2004, working from a garage out of a property in Brackenfell, we entered a very established and competitive market. By the end of 2004, we had no choice but to move into our own factory. At the factory in Okavango Park, Meranti timber doors were manufactured, installed and supplied. Growth was exponential and our customers demanded more choice.

By mid-2005 we moved to a larger factory in Stikland. In 2008 we expanded our product range to include the manufacturing, installation and supply of Aluzinc Steel garage doors. The Aluzinc Steel manufacturing plant was such a success that we purchased our own property at 6 Brass Street in Brackenfell Industria. This has been our new home and factory since 2014. More expansion was needed and Aluminium garage door manufacturing commenced in 2016.

Our garage doors are manufactured according to international standards and we strive to ensure

that you are provided with quality products.

Through excellent engineering and uncompromising quality, all Roos Garage Doors Cape Town products are manufactured with your safety and security in mind. We honour our factory guarantee and endeavour to deliver the best service possible.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE

OUTDOOR

FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE Established in 2011 by three passionate shareholders, Roger Thomas, Grant Nell, and Bronwyn Durham, NewLife Plastics manufactures a wide range of outdoor furniture and associated products from 100% recycled plastic packaging.

NewLife Plastics is going strong!

NewLife Plastics was born for a specific purpose, in a recycling and eco-aware environment that has since allowed it to sustain and grow at a steady pace. Many others had, and still do, make similar products and many more have either failed or had to curtail their businesses for reasons of nonsupply, too high a cost of manufacture, or due to failed marketing Based in Capricorn Park in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, NewLife Plastics employs as many individuals as it is able to from the area to give these young men a better life.

We manufacture furniture and outdoor products from 100% recycled plastic packing – the plastic packaging you use only once and throw away. We use your plastic bottle caps, jars, milk bottles, tubes and much more to make our long lasting products.

We pride ourselves on manufacturing a long lasting and eco-friendly product. Materials used are of the highest quality, ensuring our products are

long lasting and maintenance-free. We ONLY use plastic packaging waste and put no fillers in to the mix such as sawdust and wood – this means our product will last over 60 years, basically a lifetime!

Wooden furniture needs regular maintenance and will eventually need to be replaced.

Our products are maintenance free and will not rot or decay. We countersink our screws to avoid rust and we smooth out all the rough edges, no more splinters and broken planks.

NewLife Plastics furniture and products are durable and long lasting, stronger and denser than wood and available in four colours – brown, blue, green and charcoal black.

The furniture also looks good in your garden and by buying from us, you can tell your friends that you have taken more plastic out of the environment that you are using on an annual basis.

All of its partners in business, no matter how small are much appreciated as NewLife does not set itself apart from, but rather sees itself as integral to the SA plastics industry, in the service it offers to its customers and in generating employment.

For more information, visit our website or call us for a price brochure.

“NewLife Plastics owes its continued existence to the public and institutions who proudly buy benches made from recycled plastic for their homes and gardens, foyers, common areas and courtyards.

tecron water heating was established by Terence van Rooyen and the late Ron Adams in 1997.

The founders established the company with the firm belief that copper hot water cylinders are most suited for use in coastal areas, as well as areas with more aggressive water conditions.

A tecron hot water cylinder is a carefully refined copper water heater. Copper remains the global material of choice for the manufacturing of hot water cylinders, because it has proven its durability and reliability over decades.

Copper geysers have proven to be the geyser with the longest lifespan, because copper is naturally corrosion resistant and is used in its natural form

for the manufacturing of geysers. A copper geyser doesn’t require periodic servicing, like anode replacements. This makes a copper geyser more cost efficient over a long period of time.

Copper is an environmentally friendly metal. It does not deteriorate and has the highest recycling rate of any engineering metal in the world. Copper is naturally biostatic, so it prevents bacterial growth on its surface.

WHY SHOULD YOU MAKE USE OF TECRON WATER HEATING SYSTEMS? • tecron cylinders use standard SABS approved elements and thermostats - thus, it’s easy to find and replace if necessary.

• Standard Geysers • Slimline Geysers • Square Geysers • Point of Use • Combination Geysers • Industrial Geysers • Solar Geysers • Solar Installation Options • Spares, Parts and Accessories

SKYLIGHTS

make use of natural light with

KErEt SKyLIGhtS Keret Skylight designs, manufactures and installs custom-made skylights. We boast a truly revolutionary product inspired by Cape Town’s climate, lifestyle and great outdoors.

Keret Skylight cc is a family owned company, founded in 1990. Over the past 28 years Keret has developed and perfected a system designed specifically to suit Cape Town weather conditions.

allow more than 80% of natural light to filter through. Acrylic is about eighteen times stronger than glass, an added security benefit.

Why ACryLIC IS thE rIGht ChoICE for GLAZING?

Unlike other unsuitable systems brought over from different regions, Keret Skylight systems are designed and manufactured in Cape Town for Cape Town’s harsh weather conditions. Keret Skylight has dedicated over a decade of perfecting its systems and are the leading manufacturer in the Western Cape.

Drawing on a wealth of experience and knowledge, Keret Skylight guarantees to deliver the most advanced roofing system available. The owner, Amit Keret, is personally involved throughout the process and assures you of the best service.

WE SPECIALIZE IN: Pool enclosures, braai areas, patios, conservatories, atriums, spa rooms, entrances, carports and more custom made skylights.

Keret’s barrel vault domes are rounded in shape, draining water exceptionally well. The domes are self-cleaning-dust will simply wash off in the first rain or the skylight can easily be rinsed off.

StruCturES: Keret Skylight structures are made of ‘hot dip’ galvanised steel providing maximum durability in all weather conditions. All structures are finished in the colour of your choice. Structures are also strong enough to carry the weight of a person for maintenance & cleaning purposes.

We also offer stainless steel (marine grade) structures for a different finish.

GLAZING: For glazing, Keret Skylight uses acrylic. The acrylic is specifically designed for outdoor purposes such as glazing, signage, aeroplane windscreens, boating and more. The acrylic has an excellent optical clarity and cuts out close to 100% of harmful UV rays, up to 85% of heat and will still

In plastic sheets and laminated glass, exposure to the elements – particularly sunlight – can produce adverse effects. This includes yellowing, hazing, surface dulling, loss of impact resistance and delaminating in the case of glass.

High UV levels will further accelerate these negative effects. Acrylic sheets have the highest initial rating, as it maintains clarity and strength for well over ten years!

PoLyCArboNAtE: A strong plastic with high impact potential – polycarbonate is manufactured from high UV stabilised resin, however, note that the deterioration in terms of yellowing, surface dulling and hazing will be noticed after a short period of time.

Keret Skylight structures allows for the use of acrylic and polycarbonate sheeting for glazing. We recommend the use of acrylic.

Keret Barrel Vault Skylights add height, creating a sense of space and volume - even for smaller rooms. The added height generates good ventilation and increases the in-flow of air, making the room cooler.

The transparent tinted acrylic creates a classy finish which adds style and value to any enclosure.

Keret Skylight uses the finest materials and delivers a custom designed product, which is durable, functional and affordable - one of the reasons why we are the first choice for architects, builders and homeowners alike.

“The Keret system was formulated in Cape Town to specifically cater for its particular climate.”

DEhumIDIfIERS

DEHUMIDIFIERS

BY SPLENDIDAIR Servicing South Africa for 25 years.

Splendid Air is a family owned business that originated early 1990 trading as a sole proprietor specializing in research, development and consulting engineering. In 1994 we formally established Four Importers cc with Splendid Air as one of our trademarks.

Splendid Air imports a range of dehumidifiers from Olimpia Splendid Italy. Our premium range of dehumidifiers offer the most energy efficient way to bring comfort to your home and wallet.

Our range of dehumidifiers have the highest level of quality, technology, efficiency, design and are also environmentally friendly.

The Olimpia Splendid Italy range of dehumidifiers include the Aquaria Slim 12, Aquaria Silent 14, Aquaria 22, Aquaria 22 Thermo, Aquaria 28 and the Secco Prof 38.

DEHUMIDIFIERS: PROTECT YOUR HOME: A dehumidifier reduces dampness, mould, prevents condensation, protects against rust and structural failure in and around your home, keeping your home in optimal condition.

PROTECT YOUR ASSETS AND INVESTMENTS: With a dehumidifier you can avoid mould growth and chemical corrosion to protect your artworks, antiques, electrical appliances and fire arms.

Install a dehumidifier in your boat/yacht to maintain the humidity and preserve their value.

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH: The use of a dehumidifier dramatically reduces mould spores, fungus, dust mites and allergens.

This is highly beneficial, specially to those suffering from asthma, sinusitis, hay fever and allergies. Our dehumidifiers come with filters which extract the allergens from the air before releasing it back into the room, resulting in a far healthier environment.

HOW DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER WORK: The fan collects air from the surrounding space and pulls it into the dehumidifier. As the air passes through it comes into contact with the dehumidifier’s cooled coils.

These coils use condensation to pull moisture from the air. The collected moisture remains on the coils and drips into the dehumidifiers’ bucket.

The dehumidifier then reheats the air and exhausts dry air back into the room.

HOW OFTEN DOES THE WATER/CONDENSATE BUCKET NEED TO BE EMPTIED: This would depend on how much humidity there is.

Once the bucket is full it will automatically turn off.

With most models there is a continuous drainage option ie one can bypass the water/condensate bucket and plumb directly to an outlet point. The water/condensate bucket is easily removable and simply clips back in once emptied.

AFTER SALES SERVICE AND REPAIRS: We service and repair all makes of dehumidifiers.

AIRCONDITIONING: We sell, install, service and maintain all brands of airconditioning ie Samsung, Daikin, LG, Panasonic and Midea.

AIR PURIFIERS: We sell high quality air purifiers.

HEAT PUMPS: We sell, install and service all brands of high quality heat pumps for domestic hot water usage, swimming pools etc.

“We offer a free of charge, no obligation ON-SITE visit.

We service and repair all brands of dehumidifiers.

“

HOW DO I KNOW THE CURRENT HUMIDITY: Units have LED displays which show you the current humidity. You can select humidity levels from 40% upwards. The humidistat in the unit will also pick up if/when moisture levels increase with both continuous drainage/manual units.

Tel: 021 919 9584 • www.splendidair.co.za Email: info@splendidair.co.za

HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY DOES IT USE: All our units are incredibly economical with A+ energy ratings. Desiccant units tend to use more power than refrigerant units, but because they don’t need to operate as long the energy consumption is still fairly low.
