How Curtains Reduce Heat
Blocking Sunlight: Curtains act as a barrier to the sun's rays, preventing them from heating up your room. By closing the curtains during the hottest part of the day, you can reduce the temperature inside.

Material Matters: The type of fabric plays a crucial role in how effective the curtains are at blocking heat. Thick, dense materials like velvet or blackout fabrics can block more heat compared to sheer or lightweight fabrics.

Colour Choices: Darker colours tend to absorb more heat, whereas lighter colours reflect it. While dark curtains may block more sunlight, they might also trap more heat. On the other hand, lighter curtains can keep a room cooler by reflecting heat away.

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

An entry-level home in Hamilton’s popular Christmas suburb has sold for almost $100,000 over its reserve.

With the reserve set for $800,000, Lodge listing agent Blair Pointon said the owner was “blown away” when the three-bedroom house in Harrowfield went for $890,000 at auction this week.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Three failed eye operations in one week left Surindur Ralm effectively blind for months, unable to drive, work, write or cook.

The Waikato man then forked out $25,000 for further private surgery when he couldn’t get a date for the “urgent” procedure through the public system.

Loud explosion noise at 3:45am in Hamilton

Ian from Hamilton East

Anyone else hear a very loud bang or explosion at 3:45am? Seemed to echo around the whole area - much bigger than a car backfiring etc. Heard sirens out on Cobham Drive about 15 mins later. Hope everyone is ok.
