Instagram influencer gets smart
» INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER , KATRINA @ greygoosehouse , has upgraded her cherished home with a new Kubu equipped composite front door , that was manufactured and installed by Infinity Windows and Doors .
With over 109k followers , @ greygoosehouse has become a highly influential social media feed for all things that reflect interior design , home and interiors , and lifestyle inspirations . But the introduction of a Kubu equipped composite door has been a decision based on security , reassurance and ultimately peace of mind .
Katrina said : “ Kubu is a revelation for us as a family and as a busy business owner , I
now know when my front door is locked or unlocked through the notifications which also tell me when our children have left and returned to the house . It was also fundamental for me from an interior design perspective to pick the perfect hardware .”
Lauren Bromley , head of brand for Kubu added : “ Kubu is not just a lifestyle choice , but one in which is part of a more secure and ultimately smarter home . There ’ s little impact on manufacturing processes for fabricators and no additional works or cost implications for the installer .”
