Room to gain in the garage
Commonly referred to as the garage and thoughtlessly used as a dumping ground for unused and useless items, the time has come to review the shed space and make the most of it, according to Porter Davis Homes.
The typical use of the garage has changed said Porter Davis Director Paul Wolff, with home owners now keen to use the space as an additional room.
"Home owners are seeking more usable space in the home simply because lifestyle factors have changed, like children living at home longer."
"When you've got four or five adults, say two parents and two or three grown children, all living under the one roof, utilising the garage space is suddenly a very good opportunity to create more harmony within the home," he said.
Bucking the builder trend of using the display home garage as the sales office, or for additional storage space, Porter Davis has opened a display home that showcases a dedicated "utility area" within the garage.
"Such is the demand for the utility room that we've given up the sales and storage space so that potential home owners can really feel how well the area can work when properly organised."
"We worked with Garageking to seek feedback from clients and discovered they wanted to make good use of garage space rather than just having two cars parked side by side surrounded by boxes," he said.
The Porter Davis Churchill 33 on display at Alamanda Estate showcases a double garage with a streamlined, stylishly organised area, complete with robust PVC floor tiles, flexible Garageking steel wall and shelving.
The garage door is also fitted with the Cleverseal door seal to ensure warmth during the winter months, and to keep out dust, draughts and bugs, which Mr Wolff said made the area suitable for a multitude of purposes.
"Garageking is the space specialist who can develop and install clever designs to create a parent's hobby room, gymnasium, an additional study or rest place for children in an otherwise unutilised area," he said.
Graham Dudley, General Manager of GarageKing said it's not just about shelving the walls but providing the opportunity to completely change the dynamic of the garage.
"It is really a garage makeover, with the choice of colour schemes, layouts and ergonomics that maximise the space now and into the future."
"We are very proud to be working in partnership with Porter Davis, who have again shown initiative and innovation by seeing the bigger picture and meeting the demands of the public with our extensive products and services," he said.
