IWF has been fitting window coverings throughout Oak Flats for years, in the mid-century fibro and brick-veneer homes laid out along the Walter Burley Griffin-influenced streets near the Lake Illawarra foreshore. Sitting low on the lake's south-western shore, homes here deal with humidity, glare bouncing off the water and steady breezes rather than direct ocean salt, so we choose fabrics and finishes to suit. We service Albion Park Rail, Albion Park, Blackbutt and Mount Warrigal.
Awnings help Oak Flats' older brick-veneer and fibro homes cope with the low-angle glare coming off Lake Illawarra through the afternoon, shading windows before the heat and humidity build up inside. A folding-arm awning over a lakeside patio near Balarang also keeps outdoor areas usable well into the evening.
