A Guide to Getting Your House Winter Ready

After a long hot summer enjoying sun-soaked morning walks and lazy afternoons by the pool, winter is slowly sneaking up. While we still have time before we swap our shorts for jeans and iced drinks for hot chocolate, it is a good idea to prepare you home for the colder months.

Make sure your roof is in good condition

The Australian climate can be unforgiving, and your roof is the first line of defence between you and the elements. Sometimes, finding out your roof might not be in the best condition can come all too late. With one rainy weekend turning your hallways into a collection of pots, pans and buckets. Ensure your roof is in its best possible condition with no cracked or missing tiles, clean out gutters and investigate any damp spots.  Not only save yourself a future headache but is a great way to ensure a dry and comfortable winter!

Invest in money-saving additions to your home

Our natural instinct in winter is to switch on the heater, but the looming threat of a high electricity bill can be enough to switch off and reach for a second jumper instead!  A solution many Australians are looking toward to beat this battle between comfort and financial savvy is installing Roller Shutters. Among their many benefits including, added home safety, noise reduction and light control, adding Roller Shutters will effectively insulate your home and is a great way to keep warm while also keeping your electricity bill stable
