			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing a building company is a difficult and time consuming exercise. People look for a company that is honest, reliable and provide quality service and finish.</p>
<p>These are the characteristics that Homeplus Improvements ensure each of their clients receive during the building process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living in Adelaide we all enjoy entertaining outdoors but at times the hot sun on your Pergolas Iron roof can deter you from sitting outside. Homeplus Improvements one of Adelaide&#8217;s leading home improvement builders has a roofing system that enables you to spend more time outdoors.</p>
<p>Stephen Davies, General Manager, says the Hunter Douglas SHADEMASTER<sup>® </sup>Insulmax Insulated Roof is actually a roof and ceiling in one. Capable of spanning up to six meters and strong enough to walk on, Stephen says it is ideal for add-on leisure and entertaining rooms, patios and carports, with impressive insulating properties for year-round climate control.</p>
<p>The SHADEMASTER<sup>® </sup>Insulmax Insulated Roof  has excellent insulating properties and is moisture resistant, providing superb temperature control all year round. The Polystyrene not only insulates, but also eliminates the problem of condensation (and with it, the inevitable mould and mildew).</p>
<p>It has a modern, slim-line appearance being a roof and ceiling in one and the low gloss ceiling (underside) gives an aesthetically pleasing ceiling finish creating an outdoor area that looks like part of your home.</p>
<p>Stephen says building a new outdoor living area using the Hunter Douglas  SHADEMASTER<sup>® </sup>Insulmax Insulated Roof combined with our ever popular Queensland Enclosure with Homeplus Improvements will create an entertaining area that you can use all year round regardless of the weather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people prioritise security and easy living in their retirement years looking for that extra peace of mind. Experienced builder Homeplus Improvements is providing platforms for a number of such families wanting to have their ageing relatives close by with cost effective alternative to a retirements village.</p>
<p>General Manager Stephen Davies says Homeplus can custom build a structure such as a granny flat that&#8217;s totally independent from the main dwelling but suits your needs and space.</p>
<p>Homeplus can build a cost effective granny flat, teenagers&#8217; retreat, games room or gym. Stephen says it could be a structure for retirees living near children as added security or something for &#8220;kids&#8221; living at home well into their 20s and needing more space and independence.&#8221;There are no mass produced, prefabricated materials involved and they can be built on site to your specifications by our licensed tradesman,&#8221; he says</p>
<p>Homeplus deliver steel frame construction for peace of mind against termites while sloping blocks pose no problem with its stump and bearer construction. Stephen says &#8220;if you are looking for an entertainment room adjacent to your pool to complete a special al fresco living experience, Homeplus can deliver it too. A detached room can provide self contained living with kitchen and bathrooms included&#8221;</p>
<p>This type of dwelling could also make it more tenable for families wanting to share the costs of home ownership whilst still maintaining the independence of each person according to Stephen. &#8220;Construction is still exactly as with all our other extensions and enclosures and we look after the entire process for the client&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>Materials used can either be Permalum Cladding or a rendered panel system. Homeplus Improvements is a member of the HIA and can build that extension you have always dreamed of for less than you thought.</p>
<p>Homeplus can deliver everything from Patios and Pergola Coverings  to Gazebos, Verandahs and Windbreaks. Winterlite Screens are another, attractive, affordable, and low maintenance solution to bolster your home&#8217;s value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homeplus Improvements has been a permanent fixture in the Adelaide home renovation market for almost 30 years.  Homeplus use tried and tested building methods and Australian made building products suited to the South Australian climate.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its’ second owner firmly at the helm, Homeplus has been working hard to keep pace with the ever evolving technologies available to the building industry. omeplus for over 20 years, Stephen Davies was so impressed with the company’s product and reputation that he decided to buy the business. Due to his passion for the industry and his attention to customer service Homeplus has firmly cemented itself as a market leader both in Adelaide and rural South Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

</a>
</p>
<p>With the warmer weather and holiday celebrations fast approaching, now is the perfect time to consider extending your entertainment area with the <strong>Queensland Enclosure</strong>. This product is unique to Homeplus Improvements and is manufactured at our warehouse at Hindmarsh.</p>
<p>The <strong>Queensland Enclosure</strong>’s innovative design features versatile and hardy aluminium components that ensure low maintenance and durability. The Queensland Enclosure provides an outdoor area that will require only an occasional hosing-down to look great and will never need to be re-painted.</p>
<p>The room’s benefits also include protection from the elements and unwelcome insects, and the fantastic <em>Naturelite</em> light-diffusing panels will shield you and your family from harmful UV rays.</p>
<p>At the same time you can enjoy up to 75 per cent more airflow than conventional windows through the specially designed dado-height wall modules. These modules are made from three screen frames fitted with transparent tinted PVC which easily slide up and down. The PVC has a unique structural memory that &#8220;remembers&#8221; its shape and will return to it if knocked or scratched.</p>
<p>This is a fantastic innovation for areas where children are at play, as there’s no glass to break and cause injury!</p>
<p>The enclosure is so versatile that it can be used as an outdoor living space in its own right &#8211; or it can cover a courtyard, patio, or the outdoor living area of your choice. It can also be fitted to heights lower than normal.</p>
<p>Now is the perfect time to take advantage of this locally-manufactured product, one that is designed especially for the Australian climate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Curb harsh effects of the sun or bolster privacy with Winterlite aluminium screening. </strong></p>
<p>Manufactured in South Australia and distributed throughout the Pacific region by Homeplus Improvements, <a href="http://www.homeplus.com.au/winterlite/"><strong>Winterlite</strong></a> is an attractive, affordable, and low-maintenance screening solution that adds value to your home. </p>
<p>Used for the top of new or existing pergolas, it can be directed in such a way that sun is let in in the cool winter months and hot sun out is kept out late in the afternoon when summer returns. This is possible because the design imprint of Winterlite sheets is not flat &#8211; rather, they have something like a &#8220;little wave finish&#8221; pressed out.</p>
<p>Winterlite is great for using on the side of verandahs and pergolas, creating a great privacy screen. The sheets can be angled when installed in such a way that you can see <em>out</em> but not <em>in</em>. Winterlite&#8217;s unique shape also stops the heat from being trapped inside. Winterlite screens are also ideal for protecting cars from hot afternoon sun.</p>
<p>Winterlite is made from high-quality aluminium, powder-coated so buyers can choose any colour. And once installed, there&#8217;s no ongoing maintenance or repainting required.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a cost-effective no-maintenance way to improve your home&#8217;s look, and a great way to control the sun. It&#8217;s easy for the home handy-person to install &#8211; or we can do it for you. </p>
<p>Give us a call on <strong>(08) 8346 2222</strong>, email us at <a href="mailto:admin@homeplus.com.au?subject=website query">admin@homeplus.com.au</a>, or fill out the form below to have one of our friendly professionals contact you for a free no-obligation measure and quote!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new milestone for Homeplus Improvements: with every job we do, the customer will now receive an independent report verifying compliance with the new <a href="http://www.planning.sa.gov.au/index.cfm?objectid=1F05999B-96B8-CC2B-691B6F3A96013410">South Australian Housing Code&#8217;s requirements for energy efficiency</a>.</p>
<p>Some of the things included are:</p>
<ul>
<li>R2.5 wall insulation, plus cladding and gyprock to achieve R2.8</li>
<li>R3.5 roof insulation , with air space and gyprock to achieve R3.8 (with a light-coloured roof)</li>
<li>Windows with comfort glass or 6mm sun energy glass</li>
</ul>
<p>What does this mean? It means that our customers will be getting better-insulated extensions than ever before, which means greater long-term savings on heating and cooling bills, and a decreased carbon footprint across the lifetime of the building. Adding on isn&#8217;t just easy &#8211; it&#8217;s sensible!</p>
