Why the Mini-Makeover is Hot

Posted on October 21, 2011 | Leave a comment

One of the biggest trends in renovating we might be about to see emerge is the mini-makeover.

Think: paints, cupboard handles, tap fittings, wallpapers (yes, wallpapers going up, not coming down) and the polishing of timber floors. Also light fittings and window treatments. Anything that changes the feel and adds a bit of pizzazz without spending the big bucks.

The INSTANT-OFF® replaces the aerator on any faucet and shuts off the water when you don’t need it. INSTANT-OFF® saves 7,500 – 15.000 gallons of water a year, stops drippy faucets and helps people who struggle to turn faucet handles. A recent scientific study proved the effectiveness of the INSTANT-OFF® to reduce the spread of germs caused by touching faucet handles.

Replace Plumbing Fixtures – Save Money and Water

Posted on August 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

What is a fixture? from the dictionary of Real Estate Terms: Improvements or personal property attached to the land so as to become part of real estate.

Bathroom fixtures include: faucets, shower heads, and toilets.

Bathroom fixtures have come a long way in the past couple of decades. Even a few years ago, most toilets used around 3.5 gallons of water each flush. Today’s high-efficiency models go as low as .8 gallons a flush, saving thousands of gallons of water. As water becomes an increasingly precious resource (at least 36 U.S. states will face water shortages by 2013), conserving it makes a bigger impact on our global community, and it is starting to pay off more in our pocketbooks.

How will this effect value? It depends, some people have gold-plated fixtures and that may affect value but energy savings that correlate to value needs an appraiser that is certified in energy analyst to answer that question.
