My favorite glass

Chris Soutar from Soutar-able 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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
