What to Do
Episode: # 14 14/07/07

To really get the most out of a great garden and great views the home needs to be designed to accommodate that. Having a home that is solar passive in design is great for cool summer shade and warm winter sun and Dean helps you make your existing home more eco friendly and functional.
A north facing property is drenched with winter sun but it means it cops the full heat of summer. Many owners of houses don’t want to loose their view of their garden or their winter sun so a great idea is a Vergola operable roof system.
The size of the louver is a major factor in how much airflow and natural light circulates and floods your outdoor area but this is a very attractive and value adding product that is going to make the home more usable, more energy efficient and more solar passive. With the completed structure in place the available natural light is still at a staggering 86% and delivers 89% unimpeded or unrestricted upward free air flow.
Vergola is unsurpassed in its ability to create a well lit and well ventilated outdoor living area. When Vergola is installed to a home where the walls have previously been affected by the exposure to the sun, you can completely redefine the energy efficiencies of the home.
As well as adding value to the property, the Vergola system will really enhance the design of the home; it has turned an entertainer’s delight into an entertainers dream.
For more great gardening ideas on how you can make your house a home take a look at the Garden Gurus newspaper, available at most Mitre 10 stores and local garden centres.
