Budget is an important consideration when it comes to building or renovating a home. This means that homeowners are constantly seeking cost-effective solutions to fit within their budget. Do-it-yourself options save a significant amount of money, giving homeowners more leeway to spend money elsewhere, and preventing them from going over-budget. DECO products can easily be installed by DIYers and any handyman, with many of the range considered ‘beginner friendly.’
LIGHTWEIGHT
Aluminium’s lightweight composition makes it easy to use in building projects. Hollow aluminium profiles are available in large extrusions without carrying excessive weight, preventing the difficulty of installation and need for extra labour found with many dense timber products. Using lightweight aluminium profiles significantly reduces installation times and labour costs.

ONSITE CUTTING
Being lightweight and thin, aluminium can be easily cut down to the required length for any project. Cutting aluminium is as easy as cutting timber – all that is required is a mitre or drop saw with an aluminium blade, and protective equipment – making it easier to cut profiles onsite rather than cutting and then transporting them. A circular saw is recommended for long cuts, and a metal blade on a jig saw is ideal for cutouts. DECO’s aluminium splashbacks, DecoSplash, can also be cut onsite, to allow for necessary adjustments to the size and shape of the splashback and to fit around plug sockets and other fixtures.
