Dover Heights context

What ikea furniture assembly looks like in Dover Heights

Most Dover Heights homes built between 1955 and 1985 are double-brick with standard internal stud partitions. The brick takes 8mm masonry anchors fine, the partitions need stud-located screws to hold a wall-anchored PAX. The wrinkle is salt incursion through east-facing windows on ocean-side rooms — we swap the supplied zinc-plated anti-tip hardware for stainless on any wardrobe in a room that opens onto the ocean view. Newer rebuilds along the cliff top use insulated cavity walls; we wall-scan to find studs before drilling so we don't compromise the vapour barrier.
