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.
Venetian blinds work well in Figtree's post-war cottages, where tilting the timber or aluminium slats lets you knock back the glare pouring in off the escarpment through the afternoon without losing natural light altogether. They're a practical, adjustable option for the established homes around Mangerton and Cobbler's Hill that face directly into the afternoon sun.
