Fire Proofing for business & residential

Fires spread QUCKLY - It takes 3 minutes for a manageable fire to turn into something that is dangerous and fast-moving.


You can help keep fires from spreading quickly by having your curtains and upholsteries treated with a fire-retardant solution. Fire-retarding curtain fabric dramatically slows the progress of the flame. We spray on a solution that helps prevent the fire from catching onto the curtains and igniting them, allowing the flame to travel upwards quickly.


The 2016 Building regulations now require curtains in ANY public space (such as a restaurant, school, hall) to have fire retardant curtains.


Our solution is quick to apply, odourless, can be applied on site, good for natural and synthetic materials, and we provide a 5 year Certificate of Compliance for AS 1530 Part 2 (the Australian & NZ standard for flame-retardant fabrics for use in curtains and drapes).
Call us on 0800 579 0501 to find out more.

2022 wild birds of NZ calendars and kererū prints

Louise from Woburn

Very exciting - the 2022 calendars and kererū prints are just back from the printers. I'll start getting them organised to ship out tomorrow.

I'll start getting them organised to ship out tomorrow. The printer said he used the same 270gsm fancy textured art card for the kererū prints that he uses for Weta Workshops art prints, so they are almost famous by association. There are only 20 and Caitlin will number and sign them.

Now for the exciting bit - the 10 winners, plucked from the calendar pre-orders, of the prints are Penny Williamson, Margaret Watt, Jana Sanders, Jim Norris, Tania Moir, Alice Christian, Margie Delaney, Sharon Major, Karen Ho, and Natasha Jelbert.

The remaining 10 prints are $50 each with the money going to help with the cost of Caitlin's study at VUW.

If anyone else that hasn't pre-ordered would like a calendar, I have 20 extra printed. First in first served, they are $28 each plus postage at cost or collect from Woburn, Lower Hutt. Email: louise@louisethomas.co.nz

Thank you so much to everyone for supporting my venture. I'll do it all again next year!

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Eddie and Valarie

"We were bought to SPCA because our family could no longer care for us. We are now looking for a home together. Eddie and Valerie are sweet guinea pigs who love their food.
We are very sweet to watch, and are getting better at being handled, but we really don't like it, like most guinea pigs. We will need a large grassy area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. At night, we will need to be inside with you as part of your family so will need an area inside your home. It will need to be large enough for us to fit comfortably for the night, or for days when the weather is just too awful to be outside in. If that sounds like your set-up, please get in touch with our Small Animal Team for an appointment."
