Blast Ventilation – Fresh Air for a Healthy Home
Blast ventilation is the most efficient way to ventilate your whare. By opening all windows and doors for a short time (5–10 minutes), you replace the air without losing much heat – the surfaces inside your home will stay warm even after the air is refreshed.
✅ How to Blast Ventilate
Open windows and doors throughout the home.
For best results, use cross-ventilation – open windows on opposite sides of the room/house to create strong airflow.
If there’s a breeze, it will move quickly through your whare.
Leave open for 5–10 minutes only.
Get into a routine:
Morning & evening (once a day in winter is okay).
Try before leaving the house in the morning – dry air is easier to heat and you’ll benefit from the sun warming your whare during the day.

Warm up your whare this winter
Cold home? Thin or damaged curtains? We can help.
We upcycle donated curtains, add lining, and provide them to whānau in need. We can also assess your current curtains to see if they can be improved.
Why it matters:
• Up to a third of heat is lost through windows
• Lined curtains keep your home warmer
• Lower power bills & better energy efficiency
• Less moisture, noise, and light
Need support?
We are now open for referrals – with priority given to Huntly
Have curtains to donate?
We welcome good quality curtains and fabric (no mould, rips, or fading).
