Poll: Should all homes have curtains?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.
