Pressed metal vintagelook bars in new whiteon-zinc finish

Large wall-light suitable for grand entrances and large hallways

These pressed metal Roxas bars in new white-on-zinc finish from Schots Home Emporium offer a nostalgic flair to alfresco entertaining areas or that exclusive “man-cave”! Vintage-style in pressed metal; each one finished to replicate an authentic aged appearance; can be used as a bar or a counter: KA267047WOZ – Small; KA267046WOZ – Medium; KA267045WOZ – Large.

Many new homes built in a French Provincial, Hamptons or Georgian style have large, grand entrances. These homes deserve a wall-fitting with large proportions to befit the size of the entry; and an ideal wall-light for these entrances is the Wayville wall-light. With a backplate of 450mm x 110mm and a projection to the shade of 240mm the Wayville is larger than most similar wall-lights and is suitable for large entrances. The Wayville wall-light has a simple but elegant design and will look good in any home that needs a large wall-light.

Whether they are used in the entry itself, up a large staircase or down the main hallway the Wayville makes a statement. It can also be used either side of a large fireplace; in a large master bedroom; or on the walls of a formal dining or lounge room. The Wayville wall-light comes in either an antique brass or antique nickel finish but is available from Memory Lane of Ascot Vale at this stage only with the clear glass shade.

Glass and antiqued-metal pendant-lights inspired by the cafes of Europe Schots Emporium recently stocked a new collection of glass pendant-lights inspired by the cafes of Europe.

KA220023NAT - Mauri Pendant light, Natural Timber and Clear Glass. Antique-finished Iron; created from timber and hand blown glass; white washed timber finial complements the clear glass shade; looks great when grouped above a kitchen island.

KA220035CO - Arusto Pendant Light, Copper. Created from hand blown glass and copper-finished components which complement the clear glass shade; looks great when on its own, as a hallway light and grouped.

Luxmore Ceiling Light. KA220026ABR Antique Brass and KA220026ANI Antique Nickel. Created from hand blown glass and antique-finished components which complement the clear glass shade; looks great when on its own, as a hallway light and grouped.

31cm Clear Sphere Pendant Light KA220020ANI Antique-Nickel and KA220020ABR Antique-Brass. Antique finished Iron and hand-blown glass; looks great when grouped above a kitchen island.

KA220034ANI - Float Glass Pendant # 8, Antique Nickel KA220032ANI - Float Glass Pendant # 6, Antique Nickel KA220031ANI - Float Glass Pendant # 5, Antique Nickel KA220030ANI - Float Glass Pendant # 4, Antique Nickel KA220028ANI - Float Glass Pendant # 2, Antique Nickel A stunning range of hand blown float lights. These magnificent lights can become the feature of any room. Each light in this range is hand blown, bringing its own character and features as created by the skilled artisan who spent the time crafting it so that no two pieces are alike. Part of the hallmarks of hand-blown glass are variations in glass thicknesses, air bubbles and lines from rolling the glass as it’s blown; these characteristics make this range stunning and are in no way flaws of the pendant.

Best for mixing heavy mixtures!

The patented Squirrel Mixer Prosteel20 drill attachment is the absolute best solution for mixing those heavy mixtures including wall textures, joint compounds, plaster, epoxy and other high viscosity products. Use the attachment with variable speed handheld drills between 5001500RPM. It mixes faster and more comprehensibly than other hand drill mixer attachments.

The secret lies in the patented Squirrel’s unique mixing cage, which pulls material from the top and the bottom into the centre of the can as in a vortex, providing a completely homogenised mixture within seconds. You can say goodbye forever to that long and tedious push-and paddle mixing. To operate simply attach the mixer to your variable speed drill and work up the speed to the desirable level.

Seves photovoltaic glass pavers Photovoltaic has transformed the already eco-friendly glass block into a new building instrument, ideal for lighting exterior applications while conserving energy. Composed of solar powered, low voltage illuminating glass pavers, the Photovoltaic Collection [from the Glass Brick Company] is a fast, easy and low cost alternative to electrical grounds-lighting. You can add soft droplets of light to dark exteriors or create glowing walkway patterns without the need for electrical installation, wiring or maintenance. Photovoltaic glass pavers come with a built-in solar panel to store energy during the day, which is then used to power the high-efficiency LED lights through the night. The Photovoltaic Collection is designed specifically for exterior use in commercial, public and residential applications such as walkways, bridges, balconies, patios, decks, gardens; as well as in exterior walls or panels.

Cleaning the mixer is a breeze. Straight after mixing, place the mixer in a bucket of water to spin completely clean.

The Squirrel Mixer Prosteel20 features an 80mm diameter galvanizes steel impeller cage with a 495mm x 8mm galvanized steel shaft. It sells for around $27.

Heavy-duty hardware scissors and snips Fiskars’ ground-breaking R&D has resulted in scissors and snips that make cutting easier, especially at the end of the cut where more force is required. The PowerArc™ Hardware scissors 22cm [$29.99] are ideal for cutting a range of materials including insulation, duct tape, cardboard, rope, tar paper, Tyvek and hose. The scissors feature stronger-coined blades to help prevent blade separation when cutting thicker material, and a serrated blade edge to grip slippery materials for better control. These hardware-scissors have bigger loops for large gloved hands and feature the Fiskars Softgrip® ergonomic handle for enhanced comfort and control. The handles are positioned so that your hand utilises full-strength, preventing long-term muscle pain and fatigue.

The PowerArc™ Snip [$29.99] is ideal for cutting a range of heavy-duty materials including light-gauge metals, gutters, vinyl siding, insulation, duct tape, cardboard, rope, tar paper, fascia and hose. The offset handle can be used to cut from above or below while keeping waste material away from your hand for safety. The Easy Action™ handle opens automatically to help reduce hand fatigue; and the notched blade cuts wire cleanly and smoothly. The PowerArc™ range features a bolted joint that won’t loosen over time, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Available at Bunnings.

FX Super Easy Concrete for DIY industrial-look finishes Concrete-finishes are a worldwide design trend from Sydney to Singapore and beyond. Previously, plaster finishes such as Venetian Plaster could be applied only by a trade professional, making it costly for the DIY market and home-renovators.

Not now! Responding to their marketresearch, FX Australia has developed an uncomplicated application method for plaster-style finishes, recently releasing an addition to their award-winning line of plaster products.

FX Super Easy Concrete is made for DIY home-renovators. NO PROFESSIONAL REQUIRED! It is a superior, acrylic paint finish. Its depth and movement mimic classic Venetian Plaster to give a subtle, undulated colour-effect. The coating dries to a matte finish; can be trowel-polished to a satin finish; or sandpapered to a high sheen, creating a perfect backdrop for both classic and industrial design concepts.

FX Australia is an expert in all things plaster, and you can be confident FX Super Easy Concrete will create the perfect concrete look. FX Australia is the brand that Tradies and contract-firms go to for their speciality finishes. Now DIY home-renovators can too!

Herringbone engineered timber flooring and reclaimed timber floorboards DESIGN FROM HAVWOODS. The classic herringbone pattern found great popularity in France during the Renaissance. Herringbone floors are subtle and sophisticated; and look elegant in a myriad of architectural styles and projects. This collection comprises a range of products in which the length of the timber blocks is an exact multiple of the width, enabling them to be laid in a herringbone pattern as well as in basket- weave and tumbling-dice configurations. The collection has been designed for easy glue-down installation and is available prefinished and unfinished.

Four tongue-and-groove boards have been added to the collection, 15mm thick x 305mm wide x 1672mm long with a micro-bevelled edge, and priced at $114.50 per square metre all with an oiled finish. OAK WILLOW [HW3190] is creamy white; OAK COPPER [HW3194] is coppery dark brown; OAK CHASE [HW3192] is golden light brown; OAK SILVER [HW3196] is a cool silver with pale brown tones.

RELIK. Reclaimed timber is often desired for its character yet its lack of uniformity can make installation difficult and lead to high levels of waste. In response, Havwoods developed the Relik collection, which comprises pre-finished engineered products that make more efficient use of timber reclaimed from barns, wharfs and docks. The result is easy-to- fit boards that are stable enough for Australian climates and suitable for use with underfloor heating. Relik offers a range of eight flooring options, the newest two being genuine reclaimed oak, priced at $184.50 per square metre. Each tongue-andgroove board is 15mm thick with a square edge detail and oiled finish. The length and width is undefined given the timber is reclaimed. OAK RILL [RECM2124] is a subtle golden brown; OAK RUSH [RECM2128] is a silvery brown.

Innovative collection of waterproofed timber flooring products from Carpet Court Carpet Court recently introduced Multilayer Hybrid – a collection of flooring options designed for use throughout the entire home. Across three ranges from two suppliers – Veles by Godfrey Hirst and Aqua Tuf in Standard and Longboard options from Embelton – Multilayer Hybrid combines the waterproof properties of vinyl, the durability of laminate and the look of timber. The products’ special multi-layer construction features a tough protective wear layer, stylish decorative film, composite core board and pre-adhered underlay to deliver comprehensive benefits to home-renovators.

The key point-of-difference lies in the composite core panels built into each board, which render the range 100% waterproof and offer impressive stability for Australia’s variable climates, meaning boards will not expand, contract or warp as temperatures change. These waterproof-properties allow Multilayer Hybrid products to be used throughout the entire home, even in bathrooms and laundries where hardwood is typically avoided due to its susceptibility to moisture. As the trend for timber flooring continues to grow, this new collection offers home-renovators the option to extend timber flooring into every room of the home.

In terms of design, Multilayer Hybrid comprises a mix of authentic timber finishes, including traditional oak and contemporary Australian species. It also provides a simplified installation process: sub-floor preparation is minimal, thanks to the products’ dense composition, which does not show imperfections; and pre-adhered underlay, which offers improved acoustics and comfort underfoot. There’s also no need to allow boards to acclimatise to the atmosphere. Instead, boards can be immediately clicked together using the robust locking system, making Multilayer Hybrid an ideal option for DIY novices, seasoned home-renovators, and Tradies.

For many households, old, leaking, and inconvenient taps are often the last on the “to-do” list, because replacing it can involve costly and complicated workmanship. All too often something needs to be broken, taken down, and re-connected, which leads to bigger operations and unexpected costs.

Quoss Reno Transformer series offers a range of products that will do away with these problems. You can now replace any old 2 taps to an easy-to-use, maintenancefree, and affordable flick mixer.

After eight years of R&D, Quoss patented an innovative fitting system that enables the water flow to be blocked off at the existing passage and redirected into the exposed Quoss mixer, which prevents any breakages in the walls or tiles when transforming. No plumbing or piping is needed, as the Quoss technology allows the mixers to be simply retrofitted within 30 minutes into any Australia plumbing fixture.

Once installed there would no longer be any on-going maintenance like changing spindle washers or re-seating the valves regularly, as the mixer system prevents leaks permanently. The Quoss system not only can be a cost-effective solution for home owners and renovators, but is also a perfect solution for renters because it doesn’t drill any holes in the wall and is interchangeable - simply take it with you when you move out without

Using the company’s fitting technology, a broad range of products can be retrofitted into all parts of the household including: flick mixers for wall-mounted kitchen and laundry taps, basin mixers, and chlorine-free high-pressure shower heads. The entire Quoss products are on display and available at offline shops in Auburn Megamall, Blacktown Westpoint, and our head office in Rydalmere. We are also planning to open 20 new shops in various Westfield locations around Sydney and surrounding suburbs throughout this year. A business incubation program that will help you start your own Quoss store at no risk is available, so please contact us at info@quoss. com.au if you are interested in joining our retail business.

Megatreat™ Liquid Stone™ Chemical Developments Pty. Ltd. (Port Stephens, NSW) in 1996 developed a building material that looks, feels and wears exactly like natural stone, yet comes in liquid form, right from a can.

Megatreat Liquid Stone is a revolutionary high-quality building material that has all the qualities of natural stone because it’s made with natural stone. Megatreat is a flexible material that will not crack, is super economical, easy to use on any type of horizontal or vertical surface, and can be tinted or textured to a wide range of finishes.

The high-grade natural sandstone, terracotta and limestone have a unique combination of stone aggregates and an acrylic-based crosslink polymer. It has been designed for both interior and exterior applications, for vertical and horizontal surfaces, in residential as well as commercial properties.

Cover that surface to give a cement rendered look.

Right from the can, with no mixing

or measuring, Megatreat can be spread, brushed, bagged, trowelled or sprayed onto almost any surface. For example; pebblecrete, concrete, slate, tiles, brick, wood, plastic, steel, wrought iron, glass, asphalt, fibro, blue board, hardiflex and laminates. For example: walkways, wall, roofs, floors, bench tops, pots, pool surrounds, patios, driveways, ceramics, even styro-foam planters.

These products can be coloured using a non-organic pigment or paint tint from your local paint store. These should be stirred in slowly to achieve the best effect. After application, simple finishing techniques can be used to create a wide range of natural stone and masonry results. It can be used in place of wallpaper, paint or panelling. Megatreat can be applied to achieve an effect that looks and feels like real stone.

There are four types of Megatreat Liquid Stone products:Liquid Sandstone: 3 natural colours 24 • AUG-SEPT-OCT 2017

Features and Benefits Summary: • Looks, feels and wears like natural stone

Megatreat Natural, Satin or Gloss Sealers, are applied once the Liquid Stone is dry (around 24 hours after application). These tried and proven range of sealers are easily applied, wash up in water and have no offensive smells. A slip resistant additive can be mixed in to the Satin and Gloss sealers for pool surrounds, shop floors and bathrooms.

The long lasting sealers give up to 5 years protection.

All of these products have been thoroughly tested by C.S.I.R.O. in Australia and Marshall Laboratories in the U.S.A. They passed all tests for flexibility, strength, fire resistance, ultra-violet light, crack resistant and mould resistant. These products are environmentally friendly, and wash up in water. Because of its advanced polymer base Megatreat products can flex with variations of temperature and moisture.

In 1986 our now, ex tiler Director Stephen Rapaport was the first to invent a solution to fix that “Leaking Shower Recess” without the need to remove tiles.

The Hitec Shower product was commercialised in 1990 and has been available in some tile stores since then.

Schweigen’s 2017 premium appliances

Combination cooktop/ downdraught extractor

Schweigen recently released a premium collection of kitchen appliances called “Schweigen IN” comprising built-in ovens, cooktops and rangehoods. Each product features design details the company calls “intelligent style”. The induction cooktops feature three pre-set cooking programmes for temperature adjustment, and a timer to set cooking times for each cooktop zone. The ovens include a touchscreen and an integrated cookbook; an icool oven door with soft-open and soft-close; as well as full-length telescopic runners. The rangehoods use a German-engineered external motor with advanced energy efficient technology for silent operation.

Miele now offers two CombiSet cooktops combined with their latest downdraughtextractor. The central position of the Downdraught Extractor ensures the unimpeded extraction of steam and cooking vapours at pot-level. There is flexibility in the selection of Miele CombiSet modules that can be placed on either side of the Downdraught Extractor unit to suit different cooking preferences.

Prices: 60cm built-in ovens $1995 - $3495; 45cm oven/ microwave combi $1995; gas cooktops 60cm $1695 & 90cm $2495; induction cooktops 60cm $1795 & 77cm $2495; and many models of rangehoods from $1795 - $7895.

Combination cooktop ASKO has released a new version of its gas and induction cooktop, Duo Fusion II [HIG1994M, $5,999], offering two methods of cooking by combining a gas burner with induction in the one unit. The new model has been improved for greater functionality and ease of use, including a touch control for the gas burner to ensure the same temperature every time for consistent cooking. Duo Fusion II features the Volcano wok burner and two induction zones – one bridged and one extra-large zone – so the induction areas can be used in a number of different ways for different sized pots and pans. You can experience wok cooking while also utilising one of the six auto programmes on the induction cooktop for speed, safety and precision. Duo Fusion is a 90cm cooktop with a 57cm induction zone and a 33cm gas wok burner, combined onto one piece of 6mm matte black ceramic glass offering an understated, minimalist design. The flexible Bridge Induction enables the combination of two cooking zones to create one large cooking area. You can use each induction zone separately or bridge two for larger pots and pans.

26 • AUG-SEPT-OCT 2017

Model CSDA 1010 [$5,999] has two induction units, each with two rings, one of which is a casserole zone.

Model CSDA 1020 [$6,999] comprises an induction cooktop on one side and a Teppanyaki stainless-steel contact grill on the other.

The CombiSet Extractor features a powerful fan with an energyefficient Eco motor offering three power settings and a booster stage.

A dishwasher-proof 10-ply metal grease filter comes pre-fitted to the extractor unit. In situations where the CombiSet extractor cannot be ducted to open atmosphere you can purchase a recirculation conversion kit, which includes a long-life charcoal filter that can be regenerated in the oven up to six times before replacement. The fan unit installation is flexible enough to allow vent ducting to lead off in the most suitable direction. In recirculation mode, filtered air re-enters the kitchen through a grille in the cabinet-plinth. This grille can be accommodated in a plinth with a height of only 10cm.

Built-in vacuum drawer ASKO recently released their builtin vacuum drawer [Model ODV8128G, $3999]. Combining Scandinavian design with state-of-the-art technology and functionality, the drawer vacuum-seals food for sous-vide cooking, as well as for storing, packing or portioning food.

The sleek, black pearl glass finish and stainless steel side profiles integrate effortlessly with any kitchen design. The 14cm high drawer has been co-designed and prepared for installation with both the 45cm and 60cm combi steam ovens in the Elements

by ASKO range.

“Plug and play” oven Belling has added a 10Amp “plug and play” oven to its Black inbuilt ovens series [IB605FT $699.95], which can be plugged into any standard 10Amp outlet without the need for professional electrical installation. This 60cm, 80-litre gross capacity, multi-function oven offers five functions, together with rotary controls and digital minute-minder. The deep-dish oven tray and fan assisted electric oven allows you to use all the shelves at once without the flavours of different foods intermingling, saving time, energy and money. You can simply remove the shelves, and if required the inner oven glass, for quick cleaning.

Other features include fanned grill and defrost function; plus a threeyear domestic warranty. Available at Harvey Norman, Joyce Mayne and Domayne.

1920s house given a Laminex makeover An original 1920s house was recently renovated in Camberwell, Melbourne, offering an example of the way heritage and innovation can seamlessly combine to create a comfortable home-renovation.

Retaining the character of the dwelling was paramount for the owner who was keen to ensure all remodelling work remained sympathetic to the period-features; and that original materials were recycled into the new design wherever possible. As such, the home-renovation is a juxtaposition of two eras: creating a deliberate distinction between period rooms restored to their former glory; and the extension.

While the creation of the open-plan area at the rear of the house is a change from the original aesthetic, the contemporary design elements are underpinned by historical architecture. Doors and bricks from the demolished outhouse and kitchen reconstruction were repurposed for the extension walls and, left exposed in certain areas, created a focal point. The discovery of a Laminex benchtop installed in the original

1923-kitchen offered an opportunity to reference the design choices made by the previous owner. A combination of Laminex and essastone

by Laminex products were used to emulate Scandi-style centred on natural materials. Concrete polished floors and exposed brickwork blend with Laminex Impressions textured surfaces in Sublime Teak Riven finish creating the look of real timber cabinetry across the front island base, overhead panels and oven surround. Green-design was a focus; and the Impressions range enabled the renovating-team to bring the outside in thanks to its realistic look and feel. The quality of the material also means that the surface won’t fade or pose any colour change issues in the future.

The kitchen joinery is complemented by essastone by Laminex Silica benchtops along with a contrasting Metaline Splashback and Panels in Nimbus. Using Metaline offered a glass-like appearance, while being easier to install and more affordable. The colour palette is extended throughout the living space to create a feeling of cohesion, with the bathroom cabinetry featuring the same Laminex Impressions textured surfaces in Sublime Teak Riven finish, topped with Laminex Freestyle Surfaces in New Kosciusko for the vanitytop. The vanity panels subtly accent on-trend limed timber floors; while the clean white base of Laminex Freestyle Surfaces in New Kosciusko emphasises the paler tones within bold, art deco wall tiles.

Remove Ceiling Dust Danger in your roofspace!

If you live in an older house in Melbourne your ceiling cavity probably contains high levels of lead. Years of pollution has caused a build up of lead particles in the dust which collects in the roofspace/attic.

fore any work begins. This will avoid trades-people contaminating themselves and the surrounding environment as they work.

Important: Dust should be removed before installing attic ladders, skylights or breaching the ceiling in any way.

Once in your home the lead particles will pass straight through the filters of normal vacuums and be easily inhaled.

CEILING ALERT uses trailer-mounted machines fitted with special HEPA filters.

The dust is collected in a drum on the machine and is disposed of (drum and all) at an E.P.A. approved Toxic waste centre.

Lead testing has shown that most older houses have high lead levels in the ceiling dust. In some suburbs they are as high as 20,000 PPM which is over 60 times the safe limit of 300 parts per million.

Ceiling Dust can contain: • Lead • Pesticides

Because the dust from pollution fallout is so fine the lead particles are easily absorbed into our bodies.

This is especially so for children who ingest lead at 4 time the rate of adults.

Lead attacks the immune and central nervous system. In children, who are still developing, even small quantities can cause impaired brain function, loss of IQ points and affect their memory and learning ability.

In addition to lead and other toxins the dust also harbours allergy causing dust-mites and lice from bird nests.

• Chemical pollutants • Rat, mouse &

cockroach dung • Dust mites • Asbestos particles • Formaldehyde • Other heavy metals

Fire Hazard: In some areas (especially in houses near railway lines or where there were coal-burning generators) ceiling dust can be a major fire hazard. The amount of coal fly ash in the dust can make it extremely combustible.

Insulating your home?

We believe it is extremely foolhardy to lay new insulation amongst layers of toxic dust. Insulation that has become contaminated must, invariably, be discarded once the home- owner becomes aware of the potential health risk the dust poses.

Wherever possible, CEILING ALERT accesses your ceiling space via the roof to avoid contamination of the home.

Once the entry hole has been created it makes sense to insulate at the same time to avoid the trouble of trying to get bulky insulation through the manhole.

CEILING ALERT can supply and install the insulation of your choice.

Our services include: • Toxic Dust extraction • Insulation: (Supply only or install) Polyester Batts • Insulation Removal • Aircraft Noise Reduction Acoustic Batts

Italian bathroom vanity and basin range Falper, Italian manufacturer of bathroom furnishings, have introduced Quattro Zero in Australia through Rogerseller [Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth].

Ceramilux is an engineered composite material made up of natural minerals mixed with resin. Once finished the material is coated with a resin layer or gel coat to give the product extra strength and UV-stability to prevent discolouration.

Floor-to-ceiling heated towel rail in matt black Thermogroup has added a floor-to-ceiling Heated Towel Rail to their range.

Tubular tapware and Sculptural bronze accessories with a touch bathroom basins priced of greenery at $2699 Greenery, a zesty yellow-green is the 2017 Pantone Colour of the Year. A colour that is so closely aligned to nature, Greenery is a great choice for bathrooms and one that will team effortlessly with many colour combinations and finishes. Kohler’s Toobi tapware collection is one way of introducing this beautiful hue to the bathroom – along with green towels and soaps; plus lush verdant foliage. While the inspiration for this modernist tapware collection was the original, freeform delivery of water – a bamboo pipe - the final execution is contemporary, with a lush green pop of colour at its spout. The result is a tumbling flow of water enhanced with the in-vogue greenery as the water leaves the spout, in the form of a small, interchangeable insert fitted inside the spout.

Bronze has a long history and is possibly best known as a popular material for artworks. And If you’re looking for a sculptural statement piece that could easily pass for an objet d’art, Merwe’s Loch or Moat basins in bronze are great choices for bathroom-renovations. These basins from Merwe Bronze [an Australian family business located in Queensland] are made from silicon bronze [as used in bronze public sculptures]; a lead-free material that will age and change over time adding further organic gravitas to your bathroom. The patina of the bronze changes depending on your water properties. The Loch and Moat basins in Bronze are priced at $2699 from Candana Bathroom Ware.

The Toobi collection comprises a range of 5-star WELS-rated basin and tall basin mixers, bath and shower mixers with and without diverter. The water consumption of the Toobi tapware is 6-litres/minute.

The accessories comprise double robe hook, double and single towel bar, hotelier shelf and toilet-paper holders; with each piece featuring the same tubular styling as the tapware. Very smart! Prices on the tapware range from $354 to $418; and on the accessories from $85 for the robe-hook through to $278 for the double 610mm towel bar; the hotelier shelf is priced at $461.

Home electricity-storage Solar-power storagebattery battery Dramatic increases in household electricity bills across Australia – particularly in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia – are behind a German battery group’s entry into the Australian household energy storage market: Deutsche Energieversorgung GmbH recently introduced its lithium-based SENEC Home Energy Storage System.

Battery energy storage using existing or new domestic solar panel installations is becoming popular in the Australian power market. With surging power prices and increased concerns over reliability and supply, households and businesses are interested in ways to increase or improve the security and price of energy delivery. Lithium-based batteries have proved their worth after initial teething issues globally; and there has been a successful crossing of lithium technology into affordable, high performance domestic energy storage applications using solar panels.

Energy storage batteries offer households greater control of their electricity, particularly to better optimise usage and tariff options around peak times and off-peak periods; and to move most of their reliance on power from a grid network to their own batteries. Some battery-sourced electricity systems now have the capability to supply up to 80% of a household’s regular needs.

The Australian Senec range offers 5.0kWh, 7.5kWh and 10.0kWh models; has a design life of up to 20 years on the rechargeable batteries; has met all Australian standards; is extremely safe due to a protective shut-down system in the event of any incident; and enables “add-ons” to increase capacity. A backup feature on the system continues to supply electricity to a chosen circuit in the event of a broader grid power failure. It has been designed to be retro-fitted onto any existing solar system.

Sound bar for $649 that fits old and new TVs Synergy Audio Visual has launched the Cambridge Audio TVB2 Sound Bar, a well-designed and discreet addition to a home cinema set up. Providing larger-than-life sound and offering excellent technology and features at an affordable price-point [$649], the TVB2 is easy to operate and developed to work seamlessly with today’s streaming devices and services for the ultimate home cinematic experience. It is discreet in size with big bass sound and a wireless subwoofer; cutting edge, room-filling sound; Bluetooth and NFC - tap-to-pair for easy streaming from mobile devices; and three inputs with 4K pass-through provide exception image and sound quality from connected devices.

As different households have a range of TVs, both old and new, Cambridge has included both optical digital input and an AUX-in analogue input, so that any TV can be connected. The TVB2 is an HDMI switch, able to have up to three HDMI input sources which can include satellite TV boxes, Blu-ray or DVD players, digital streaming platforms and the latest games consoles. Included in the box are all the cables needed including HDMI, Optical and an AUX cable for a simple plug-and-play. Also in the box is a bracket to wall-mount the soundbar above or below the TV.

Evergen - backed by CSIRO and AMP Capital – recently released an intelligent solar home battery storage system, developed in Australia. This new storage-battery has self-adjusting, intelligent technology that learns and adapts to your home’s energy consumption patterns; predicts solar production by connecting to local weather stations; and communicates this information via an easy-to-use app.

Leveraging the combined strength of solar and batteries with smart technology, the Evergen system continuously analyses and optimises home energy costs, always choosing the most efficient source between solar, battery and the grid. The energy management technology was developed by CSIRO, which then granted the rights to Evergen. The system is remotely managed by Evergen; and regularly analysed and updated by CSIRO. Households with intelligent home battery systems, like Evergen, can better spread “load shedding”, voluntarily reducing electricity usage to prevent blackouts and ease shortages by significantly reducing demand on the network during peak times.

Evergen systems are best suited to freestanding homes and can be installed throughout Australia. The unit cost is competitive with comparable solar and battery solutions; and includes the solar panels and battery units as well as the intelligent-management hardware, home consultation and installation. Based on their pilot program, Evergen claims that the anticipated savings to household energy costs are up to 80% from the time of installation. Systems have already been operating within a trial-group of selected Australian homes for over 12 months and are subject to rigorous ongoing safety and performance testing in collaboration with CSIRO.

Home automation system connects with iPhone, android or tablet device The HOMELINK+ Smart Automation System connects with your iPhone, android or tablet device through one app which you can then use to control the lighting in your house via the app or light-to-touch Wall Light Switch. The E-Touch Wall Light Switch [3 Gang] measures 72mm w x 120mm; is made from tempered glass crystal panel [front] and flame-retardant PC case [substrate]; with load power of 3W~300W/ gang [800W in total for 3 gang]. These products are available from Highgrove Bathrooms. Pricing: E-Touch Wall Light Switch 1 Gang $35.00.

E-Touch Wall Light Switch 2 Gang $43.00.

E-Touch Wall Light Switch 3 Gang $50.00.

RM Pro Remote $75.00.

RM Mini Remote $40.00.
