My favorite glass
Hi I am Chris a glazier with 39 years experience.
When choosing to double glaze your home there are many different options available.
My favorite is the use of low E (energy) glass, I have found this to be the most efficient.
Low E has a special coating on it which allows light in and reflects heat back into your home reducing heat loss.
When made into a double glazed unit it is a great solution for a warm cozy home in winter keeping the heat in and the cold out, it also helps with reducing condensation.a warmer dryer home means less heating reducing power bills.
Low E also reduces solar gain allowing for a more comfortable cooler home in hot summer weather.
I can retro fit your home in wooden or aluminum, for a free quote call Chris on 021642428.
Below are some pictures of a wooden double glazed retro in process.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
