A keen eye for detail

20 May 2010

With the heat in the real estate market rising, it's no surprise that home restoration is on the up and up, as shrewd householders utilise the uplift in the value of their property to re-invest and restore it to its former glory.

This is where companies such as Period Details come in. Period Details' expertise lies in bringing out the unique charms of the heritage buildings that play a key role in the fabric of Australian cities and communities. The Melbourne business supplies an impressive range of home renovation fittings and accessories suitable for any period, including Victorian, Art Deco and Classic Contemporary Styles.

Period Details' range includes original and reproduction classic or period lighting and shades, door and window fittings, electrical switches, fireplaces, timber and metal flyscreen doors and bathroom accessories. With pressed metal for walls and ceilings growing in popularity, Period Details also specialises in pressed metal installation and repairs, using the material in a variety of applications including feature walls, feature ceilings, or for bathrooms and kitchen splashbacks.

Period Details is currently promoting a new Antique Brass finish in its Traditional Hardware Company range, which includes door handles, locks and tubular latches as well as selected cupboard knobs and window fittings. The company has also acquired a range of hand made, aged copper and steel Italian light fittings, some of which feature matching ceramic coolie shades.

Established in 1986, Period Details began life as a small store, but since then the company's steady growth has seen it expand into large double fronted premises at 538-542 Burwood Road, Hawthorn. Much of the company's success is attributable to its investment in staff training to ensure thorough product knowledge. It also employs fireplace and lighting consultants who will advise customers for a redeemable fee.

Period Details will be showcasing its product range at the Building & Home Improvement Expo from 9-11 July at Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
