Flooring
Flooring is one of the most important decisions for anyone building a home, and John Doulgeridis has worked very hard to provide a wide range of options for customers while approaching this vital aspect of product development. Customers can choose between ceramic or porcelain tiles, polypropylene, polyester, nylon or wool blend carpets, premium carpet underlays, and laminate or engineered timber, in all Carlisle Homes properties, so customers are guaranteed a hard-wearing, convenient, and stylish option right out of the gates.
If customers decide to go for engineered timber, they can choose between a wide range of stylish options. Along with pale, dark, and mid-tones, clients can also opt for one of five different herringbone patterns when choosing engineered floors.
Insulation
John Doulgeridis has been obsessed with architecture since his days as a student of Design and Planning at the University of Melbourne and this passion hasn’t waned since. During his decades in Victoria’s building industry, John has had the chance to explore a walkthrough style is important when creating a home John also understands that functionality is just as crucial. When customers plan out their homes they have the ability to make their new living space very efficient with thermal insulation. Modern builders like Carlisle Homes understand the importance of solid insulation especially when you consider how costly heat loss can be in the colder months. This type of modern insulation can also keep homes cool in the warmer season.
7-Star Efficiency
Every Carlisle Homes customer gets access to high-quality insulation provided by CSR Bradford, a trusted name in the insulation world. This means that every home built by Carlisle Homes achieves a seven-star energy rating. If that’s not enough, John gives his customers the ability to upgrade their insulation for even higher levels of efficiency.
Glazing
In recent years, studies have determined that older Australian homes can lose up to 40% of their heat through windows. Conversely these windows are responsible for 40% additional heat gain during the warmer months when everyone is trying to cool down, Fortunately, John has ensured that all of Carlisles’ windows are constructed with modern techniques that protect against draughts. In addition, customers can opt for double-glazed windows, creating a “thermal break” that reduces heat conduction. Double-glazed aluminium and Australian-made A&L Windows are available to all homes within the Affinity Collection and T-Range selections.
Investing in Better
Shopping online is clearly the norm these days, and John Doulgeridis has taken steps to modernise and streamline the digital services offered by Carlisle Homes. This has been a considerable aspect of his overall product development strategy, and customers now have the ability to plan and customise their homes from the comfort of their home computer. The Carlisle Homes website provides clients with the opportunity to browse through hundreds of design options, including different facades. They can also download brochures, check out different interior design tips, and much more.
Luxury Townhomes
In addition, John Doulgeridis has been keeping an eye on notable changes within the housing market as he continues to adapt and improve Carlisle’s product development strategy. For example the demand for medium-density housing is clearly growing in Victoria and this prompted John to enter the townhouse market. The company began its first townhouse project in Clyde North and eight houses became available in early 2021. These four-bedroom townhomes feature all of the high-quality additions that Carlisle is known for such as designer kitchens, double garages, and expansive backyards. However, the price point is more affordable for the average buyer with a price tag starting at just $590,000.
John expressed enthusiasm and confidence after Carlisle Homes had ventured into the world of townhouse living for the first time, and he highlighted the fact that he was able to set new standards in this niche. Thanks to Carlisle Homes’ innovative use of space, architectural styling, and innovative technology, homeowners were able to experience all of the luxuries associated with a full-size home.
