Singer Homes constantly unveils new furniture lines that reflect the
needs and desires of its customers. In the last few months Singer Homes
has introduced three new sofa lines, including the affordable Araliya
sofa set, the coolly sophisticated Venice sofa set, and the chic new
Kelly sofa set. All of their sofa ranges are designed for today's
customer and adhere to the highest standards of Signer style,
functionality and durability.
The furniture superstore also offers elegant wardrobes, bedroom
suites, and dining room suites. Customers with children will be
delighted by the extensive range of children's bedroom suites on
display.
All these suites are artfully arranged in situ, along with a complete
range of home and office accessories, from TV stands and shoe racks to
printer stands and correspondence trays. Everything on display is also
on sale, meaning that customers don't have to wait for stocks to arrive
or for new furniture to be built.
Before going on display, however, every single piece of furniture is
individually inspected by the Singer's Quality Control team to ensure
that customers get only the very best.
Customers of Singer Homes can also avail themselves of flexible,
affordable easy payment options.
At Singer Homes, customers can also opt for a Lay-By payment option,
where they can pay an initial deposit, followed by regular repayments,
receiving their furniture purchase when full payment has been made.
With no increase in price while payment is ongoing, these payment
options are ideal in these times of financial stress. Customers have the
freedom to choose their own down payment and monthly payment amounts.
This flexible approach can also be seen in the furniture superstore's
pantry offerings.
Customers can select from a wide range of cupboards and worktops that
are custom-built to blend in with existing decor and furniture.
Singer Homes employs an experienced team of professionals to design
and install pantry furniture, free.

Amana Takaful steers home insurance
Amana Takaful recently gave fresh impetus to its home insurance
product, “My Home”, with an additional enhanced accident cover in a bid
to promote the importance of home insurance in Sri Lanka. “The market
for home security is growing tremendously in Sri Lanka and mainly
centred in urban areas.
The main drive for home security comes not only from the need to
secure the safety of our loved ones but also to safeguard our belongings
that mean so much to us. Insurance comes as an obvious need as it not
only gives you peace of mind but it also provides the financial support
you need to get things back in order”, said Amana Takaful PLC Head of
Technical Kester Amarasinghe.
“Insurance is almost the last concern in anyone’s shopping list and
home insurance is mostly off many people’s radar. However, little do we
realize that risks at home have the greatest affect on our lives and
feelings”, said Amarasinghe. Therefore, we intend taking this message to
our customers and potentials through a campaign of education that we
believe will surely help increase the importance we place on our homes”,
he said. “However, we have helped many of our customers who have seen
their belongings damaged due to lightning strikes and sudden explosions
which encourages us to cover people as much as possible,” said Amana
Takaful PLC General Manager Sales and Distribution Nazeem Ghafoor.
“Security systems are really meant for warning purposes but the true
need is to recover what is lost and that is a loss that is worth
safeguarding against,” he said. Amana Takaful My Home, is loaded with
covers that safeguard against more than ten natural disasters, fire and
damages caused by it and due to it, burglary, alternative accommodation,
loss of rent, architect’s, surveyor’s and engineer’s fees and many more.
Policies are also provided for additional reasons other than safety.
Home insurance is required to obtain housing loans from financial
institutions and with confidence building in the country there is a
growing need for loans. |
