Wairoa woman Sally Hook never used to look forward to winter.
In her drafty 1950s house, the windows would rattle in the wind, and she struggled to keep heat in.
Hook reckons double glazing, enabled by Hawke's Bay Regional Council's Sustainable Home programme, changed things completely.
The programme has provided $814,782 to double-glaze 74 homes in the region to date.
HBRC procurement manager Mark Heaney said getting double-glazing can make all the difference to having a healthy home.
