“It’s going to be hot, hot, hot,” MetService warns at least for parts of the country as we head into a weekend split between scorching heat in the east and fresh rounds of rain elsewhere. 🥵♨️

A front moving over the North Island on Friday is forecast to clear by early Sunday, opening the door to a brief spell of settled weather before the next system rolls in.

Summer evenings, good food, and a house that stays cool when the party heats up. ☀️🎉

As the season gets busier, it’s always nicer hosting when your home feels comfortable — inside and out. Double glazing helps keep the heat where it belongs (outside), so you can focus on the BBQ, the laughs, and the late nights.

Another window out, a cooler, quieter home on the way. 🪟
This retrofit is getting a full upgrade — new insulated glass, better seals, and a big boost in comfort for the whole house. Sometimes the biggest improvements start with taking things right back to the frame.

A day of sweltering heat… and the fan can only do so much. ☀️
When your windows let the sun pour in and the cool air slip out, your home heats up fast. Upgrading to double glazing with Low-E glass makes a massive difference — keeping the harsh summer warmth outside while your home stays comfortable inside.

If today felt unbearable, it might be time to look at your windows.

“Shortcomings in the building standard that persist to this day mean many buildings could still have moisture problems, except this time it is from the inside. Regardless of its origin, moisture means damp, damp means rot, and rot is destructive and unhealthy.” 🪟

Even new homes built to code can trap heat and damp, leaving buyers with mould, rot and so

Interesting read.

"Sure, the temperature changes throughout the year with the seasons. Most of us have lived in homes freezing in winter and stuffy in summer. It’s a Kiwi rite of passage."

When the summer sun turns your home into an oven, it’s time to look at your windows. ☀️ Double glazing with Low-E glass helps block excess heat while keeping natural light — so you stay cool, comfortable, and energy efficient all season long.

Feeling the heat? ☀️ When your home gets unbearably hot, your windows are often to blame. Heat sneaks in three main ways:

1️⃣ Sunlight through the glass (solar radiation)
2️⃣ Heat transfer through glass and frames
3️⃣ Air leaks around old seals

Why double glazing helps:

✅ Two panes of glass with a sealed air gap slow heat transfer — keeping your home cooler on hot days and warmer at night.
✅ Low-E coatings reflect infrared heat while still letting in natural light.
✅ Argon-filled gaps and insulated frame edges stop heat sneaking around the sides.
✅ Modern joinery and tight seals cut down drafts and humidity.

Retrofit or replace?

Retrofitting lets you keep your existing frames while upgrading to insulated glass. It’s quick, tidy, and far more affordable than full replacement.

Summer smarts:

- Choose glass with a low SHGC rating for west- and north-facing windows.
- Add external shading or eaves to block harsh sun.
- Use evening cross-breezes to flush out heat.
- Close blinds during the day to stop the greenhouse effect.

Double glazing with Low-E glass = a cooler, quieter, more comfortable home — all year round.
