Vote the Takoketai Black Petrel as your 2026 Bird of the Year 🗳️ We're behind Live Ocean's campaign to champion the Tākoketai Black Petrel - a bird that flies solo thousands of kilometres across the Pacific Ocean from Aotea Great Barrier Island and Hauturu Little Barrier Island, at just three months old. The Black Petrel has a strong claim to be one of New Zealand’s most underrated endurance athletes.

Good interiors deserve to last. Don't let sunlight fade them. The right glass helps reduce UV exposure, preserving your home while still letting in bright natural light. Specifying glass with superior UV control helps protects the integrity of interior design over time.

Our window performance is shaped by how the frame, glazing, and installation work together - not by any one component in isolation. When these elements are designed as one complete system, they can support improved thermal efficiency, warmer homes and better long-term building performance.
