Wood verses aluminium windows double glazed retro fitted.

Chris Soutar from Soutar-able Glass

Now is a good time while the weather is more settled to update your tired windows with double glazing for a warmer cozier home.
Aluminium window frames are a natural conductor of cold and tends to draw in the damp hence wet sills and weepy windows,when double glazed this greatly improves the installation and can eliminate weepy windows.
My favorite are timber windows.wooden frames are natural insulators and when combined with double glazing provides great installation. Timber also can be repaired if damaged or rotten. If painted and sealed properly should last a long time.i do timber windows as well as double hung windows re weighted .
For a free friendly quote timber or aluminium windows call Chris 021642428 or vist my web site www.soutar...
I have 40 years of glazing experience and endeavor to do the best possible job for you, with pride in my work
For September 10% of timber windows.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
