Hi neighbours,
Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.

You can keep your new windows looking their best for many years by following a few simple tips:
- Vacuum inside the frame and hinges
- Brush off dirt
- Use a warm soapy solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the dirty window
- Rinse with clean water

Windows have working parts so it's essential that these parts are well maintained to ease the friction of the moving parts inside your window frames.

To keep your windows in great condition for years it's best to keep the inner chambers of your windows clean and clear of built-up residue.

If you need an expert to assess your windows & doors, give us a call today on 0800 252500 or click the link to book a visit!

Throwback Thursday: Rail freight

The war stifled building development in the 1940s but NZ Railways' new outwards goods

The war stifled building development in the 1940s but NZ Railways' new outwards goods
shed went ahead. The concrete structure at the corner of Colombo and Cass streets was the largest building in the South Island when it opened in 1945. If the shed represented rail's dominance in freight transport, the new Christchurch station, built soon after, symbolised an
expected golden age for passengers. The new goods shed allowed old sheds across the
tracks, and a little to the east, to be demolished, clearing the site for the new station. Who
would think, within 50 years, both would be redundant?
