3 Design Details

Light Switches & Power Points

You no longer have to ruin a carefully styled room with a dated, chunky switch. These necessary electrical requirements are now a seamless design detail – a way to add colour, sophistication and smart technology to your home. Consider:

• Rustic orboho – try our Iconic Essence range with the birch timber detailing for a natural feel

• Modern and industrial – our Iconic Styl or Saturn Horizon ranges can give metallic and textured finishes

• Simple and minimalist – our glass-look Saturn switches will blend in effortlessly

• Make my home ‘smarter’ – try Saturn Zen with the C-Bus smart home system, or consider Iconic Bluetooth Connectivity options for a scalable smart home option

Glass

You’ve probably never considered that there are multiple types of glass (who does?) – but there are, in fact, a lot of types of glass. hey have different finishes, requirements and characteristics.

First, decide what you need your glass to do:

• Improve insulation

• Block out noise

• Filter light

Next, think about:

• Where will the glass be used
• Its height above ground
• Whether it’s doing multiple jobs (eg. is it acting as a balustrade?).

Before jumping in, confirm that your vision for using glass meets requirements, as the Australian Standards and Building Codes (which your builder can help you with) has strict regulations about how glass can be used. For instance, in some places in the home, glass has to have markings on it as a safety precaution. Find out if that applies, and whether that’s a design feature you’re happy to factor in.
