IWF has worked throughout Figtree for years, from the mid-century brick-veneer homes and post-war cottages on the flat to the elevated houses climbing Figtree Heights and Cobbler's Hill. Sitting in the foothills of Mount Kembla and Mount Nebo, these west-facing slopes cop strong afternoon sun and heat, though the escarpment shelters us from the salt air closer to the coast. We fit new builds and long-held family homes alike, servicing West Wollongong, Unanderra, Mangerton and Farmborough Heights.
Awnings are one of the most effective upgrades for Figtree's west and north-facing homes, cutting the intense afternoon heat off the escarpment before it ever reaches the glass. Folding-arm awnings suit the brick-veneer homes around Farmborough Heights and Figtree Heights, keeping living areas noticeably cooler through the hottest part of the day.
