What is double glazing?

Chris Soutar from Soutar-able Glass

Double glazing is two separate panes of glass jioned together by a spacer in the middle and glued together with a sealer to create a complete sealed unit, this creates an air gap in between the 2 panes of glass making the unit insulated, you can also have a thermal spacer bar in between the unit that reduces any cold coming in from the side of the unit.double glazing can be made in various thickness ,depending on the thickness of glass used and thickness of the spacer,the most common being 19 -20 mm,.also many different options available with the glass.
Double glazing provides better insulation for your windows,reduces power consumption, warmer in winter and cozier in summer, it also reduces noise by damping sound waves.
If you are interested I do double glazing retro fit in timber and aluminium windows and offer a free friendly quote, contact Chris 021642428.

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.
