The finishing touchesWith all new homes, the fabrics, colours, window dressings and furnishings are the finishing touches, the ‘icing on the cake’. They are what we see, what we feel, they

set the mood, and they create ‘your look’, to be loved and enjoyed for many years to come. Furnishings express your individuality, transforming a house into your home.

Finishing WellIt’s not unusual that by the end of a major building project clients are exhausted. Too many decisions, challenges and delays, and all the hard work has stretched the reserves, the energy, and the budget. At this point the furnishings can be neglected as the projects may not finish as strong as they started.

Friday Homes projects are different to most as they take full responsibility for the outcome. They let you make the big decisions as they have sorted out the smaller details. No surprises and always on budget.

Lewis’s is excited to join this successful team and continues the Friday Homes approach, making the furnishing process easy, rewarding, taking responsibility for the outcome, and adopting the Friday Homes pricing promise. The secret to ‘finishing well’, is starting your furnishing planning early, coordinating this into all your other décor decisions and budgets. With the help and guidance of Wendy Elers, Friday Homes’ Interior Designer, supported by Lewis’s, we are sure you will finish your building project well. Achieving ‘your look’ to enhance your new home. Your success is guaranteed.

Winning Combination

Leave Lewis’s to manage the practical requirements

DAYTIME AND NIGHT PRIVACY Sheer curtains add a simple, soft and luxurious look to your room and they do also provide great privacy - allowing you to still have a view outside, without being viewed yourself. Blinds also offer a simple elegance, compatible with almost any type of interior, helping to create the perfect backdrop for art and furniture. There is a wide range of lightfiltering blinds available, which provide a great solution for privacy during the day. Most of these blinds can also function with night privacy solutions.

INSULATION For a warm and healthy home, the answer is insulating curtains and blinds for attractive energy efficiency. It is important to differentiate between what is a standard curtain and what is an insulated curtain. What gives a curtain its insulating properties is its insulating lining, and its well-fitting design.

A well-fitting curtain must be:- Fitted as close as possible to the window frame.- Measured and fitted so that they touch the floor.- Be a generous width so that they overlap the window frames at the sides and the curtain returns back to the wall, trapping the air between the window and the curtain.

LIGHT CONTROL & SUN PROTECTION

We need to make the most of the good things the sun brings, while being careful to minimise the harm. We know the harsh

UV rays in the sun damage our skin, but it can also damage our furnishings, flooring and furniture.

The good news is, there are a range of effective and attractive options available to protect the investments you have made in

your furnishings. Sunfilter curtains offer protection by reducing the volume of light coming through a window.

Likewise Venetian Blinds, Timber Shutters, Duette Blinds and Sunscreen Blinds also minimise the volume of light.

EASY CARE AND MILDEW MAINTENANCE

It is important to make sure that you place the right product and in the right fabrics at your windows. For high moisture areas of the home such as kitchens or bathrooms, we recommend a number of different blinds - an ideal choice due to their resilience against water & steam. Mildew that may form on the product over time can be easily cleaned off. There are certain fabrics that will perform better than others in high moisture areas of the home, but we do recommend lining your curtains in our Maxline 5 Star lining which is dust free, provides mildew resistence and is machine washable. Perfect for ensuring your home is kept both warm and healthy.

DURABILITY

You can be confident that Lewis’s focus and passion is on providing you with quality product. Beautiful fabrics can be expensive, and require a high standard of making and installation to be at thier best. We invest the time and care into producing a quality result, use the best equipment, and employ some of the most experienced curtain makers and installers. We believe that the most durable product is that with a lasting quality.

EASY OPERATION

We can provide smart operating solutions available to futureproof your curtains and blinds on any budget.

Automation is the ideal way to embrace today’s leading technology to provide tomorrow’s best performance. If

automating your curtains and blinds is something you would like to include in your new build, we recommend discussing this

early in your new build process to ensure connections are available through mains wiring.

CHILD SAFETY

It is vital to ensure that all children are safe from the dangers of curtain and blind cords. Curtains and blinds with long,

unsecured looped cords are a clear potential child safety hazard. We have taken the approach that child safety is no

longer optional for either Lewis’s or our customers, as we can never be sure that at some time in the future, a toddler or child

may gain access to the blinds and curtains in homes. All Child Safety Devices provided with Lewis’s products must be installed,

and are free of charge.
