Doors and windows are also fitted with an additional internal security lock and grounds will have security motion activated lights in the parking areas and at other strategic points.
Sound and Insulation
The structure of the walls and roof (with injected foam barrier) together with thermal sealed windows gives Colibri Court a very high energy efficiency rating together with excellent sound insulation properties. The walls and floors are also further insulated to reduce sound transmission.
Floor Coverings
With the exception of the tiled floors in the bathrooms all rooms feature an engineered bamboo floor in a choice of two shades. Bamboo provides the look and benefits of hardwood flooring but has the additional advantages of being stain proof, termite proof and produced from sustainable forests.
