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: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
