*** INSTALLATION OF THE WEEK ***
*** INSTALLATION OF THE WEEK ***
This week's installation of the week is on a Shower with a small amount of clearance between the shower frame and the roof.
We have completed the installation on this shower by using a low blow Showerdome. These domes are designed specifically for showers with less clearance than required for a normal Showerdome.
Our regular dome requires a clearance of at least 150mm from frame to roof, and our low blow domes can be installed on showers which have a minimum of 60mm clearance. The main use of the low blow Showerdome has been for tiny homes.
We're always striving to find the best possible solutions.🚿
Do you have a small space above the shower that you would like a Showerdome for?
Send us a photo of your shower to info@showerdomewaikato.co.nz and we can let you know our recommendations for the best possible installation.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
