Build

Dear Home Building Enthusiast,

Is real always better than fake? While most people would say yes, the answer really depends on the context of the question.

For many homeowners and builders, faux products can save money over the long run because they are less vulnerable to weather conditions, easier to install and/or require less labour.

This doesn’t mean you should always choose the fake option over the real thing but we wanted to remind you that on your next build or renovation there is the option to ‘go faux’.

Enjoy!
