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.
Elevated homes on Figtree Heights with a deck or alfresco looking out to Mount Kembla benefit from combined zip screens and awnings, shading the heavy afternoon sun while enclosing the space against wind funnelling down off the escarpment. It turns an exposed outdoor area into a room you can actually use through summer.
