Our team was recently invited to talk about new products for aluminium windows & doors on the “Magic Talk Radio Show”…
We explained everything about different window & door products that can help you create a more secure and energy efficient home. We also shared some great tips on “how to take care of your aluminium joinery” to extend the lifespan of your windows & doors…..
In case you missed it on the radio, here is small segment of the show, where we were talking about our new retractable insect screens for windows & doors. We answered customers' FAQ regarding our screens and explained how this great new product can help you and your family enjoy a bug free, spray free home this summer.
Enjoy it!

Upper Hutt’s Park Street recycling station is open 24/7
How it works
There are three containers, two for plastic, cans, and cardboard, and one (split into three colours) for glass. The containers are taken to be hand-sorted at the material recovery facility.
The two cardboard, plastic and cans containers are emptied on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at around 9.00am, and Saturday around 3.00 pm. The glass container is emptied weekly.
Appropriate use
At the material recovery facility, a scoop test is taken of the recycling. If the material is too contaminated, the entire container will be landfilled.
Please do not dump your recycling!
The station is cleaned daily by Intergroup. Any material that is left outside the containers will not be recycled and Council is charged extra to clean it up. Make sure you check all of the containers—if they are all full, come back another time when they have been emptied.

Perhaps you have a young child who has expressed an interest in ballet dancing. There’s no time like the present to get them into a class that allow them to fully explore their interest.
Maybe you already have some formal ballet training, but you stop dancing for any reason, now is a great time to check is your passion still there.
AT: 5 King street, phone number 021 168 6115, looking forward to seeing you there.
