US treatment for Maddie By Gabrielle Stuart MADDIE COLLINS has spent most of her life battling kidney failure – now the 13-year-old St Margaret’s College student has been dealt another lifethreatening blow. She was told last week while at Starship Hospital for kidney treatment that her heart is also failing. If Maddie had a successful kidney transplant, her heart could recover, but without one, she would be at risk of a heart attack, her mother Sarah Manson Collins said. The news had hit Maddie and the whole family hard, she said. “She was in the room when they told us and she said, ‘okay, how many months have I got to live?’ We said, ‘no, it’s not like that, you’re going to be okay,’” she said. •Turn to page 4

Heart specialist receives Queen’s Birthday honour RENOWNED cardiologist Hamid Ikram, who worked to open Christchurch’s first heart surgery unit, was named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours yesterday. Professor Ikram (right), of Fendalton, was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to cardiology and to education. He was one of 28 Cantabrians honoured, including Jim Anderton for his political work, bungy jumping pioneer AJ Hackett, and former City Missioner Michael Gorman. Professor Ikram retired in 2002, but has continued to research, lecture and privately practice at St George’s Hospital. He was instrumental in a longrunning public campaign in the 1990s to open a cardiac unit in Christchurch. The unit was finally opened in December, 1997. •Turn to page 5

YOU HAVE to hand it to Maddie Collins – she’s one heck of a plucky 13-year-old. Life threatening conditions, yet she still has time for a huge smile for the camera (see page 1). Maddie’s health battles have been documented a lot over the past year as her family tries to raise $350,000 for kidney treatment in the United States. More than $80,000 has so far been raised but there’s a lot more needed. She’s earmarked to go there next month, the first step in what will be a long – and hopefully – successful process. On another medical note, congratulations to retired cardiologist Hamid Ikram named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours yesterday (see page 1). The city owes him much. He was instrumental in the 1990s to open a cardiac unit in Christchurch. – Barry Clarke

HALL DECISION The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board has approved the demolition of the Yaldhurst Memorial Hall. It is not economically feasible to repair and strengthen the facility after it received damage in the February 22, 2011, earthquake. The board decided the memorial plaques will be removed from the building and put into secure storage until the community and the city council deliver a future plan for their preservation and display. It has requested proceeds from any land sale be retained for use in the Yaldhurst rural community as the city council’s contribution towards a local facility, including reinstatement of the memorial features.

Cars parked at St Teresa of Lisieux Parish on Puriri St, Riccarton, and Our Lady of Victories Parish on Main South Rd, Sockburn, have been targeted on Saturday and Sunday nights in recent weeks while the owners attended mass. St Teresa priest Father Antoine Thomas said little things like passports and bags had been taken from cars.

$350,000 sought in fundraiser •From page 1 Kidney problems can force the heart to pump harder, putting a lot of strain on it. An American study has found children on dialysis for kidney problems were 1000 times more likely to have a fatal heart attack. The family has been fundraising to take Maddie to The John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, United States, next month where more advanced treatment may make it easier to match a donated kidney. In 2012, her father, Adam Collins, donated one of his kidneys to Maddie, but her body rejected it. “We know we’re fighting uphill to find a match for Maddie, but you’ve got to believe in miracles,” Mrs Manson Collins said. The treatment offered in the United States would make it less likely Maddie’s body would reject a donated kidney. However, it comes at a price – the full treatment is expected to
WISH: Maddie Collins, 13, with her dog Coco. Maddie needs to travel to the
cost about $350,000. Givealittle pages have already raised more than $80,000 for Maddie, and people in the community had also been incredibly generous, Mrs Manson Collins said. Many people, from family members to total strangers, had also volunteered to be tested to see if their kidneys might be a match for Maddie. She had no idea how many, as the family were not allowed to know unless a match was found. But even though none so far had matched Maddie, Mrs Manson Collins said every person willing to donate an organ had helped someone. “It’s not just about Maddie. We don’t have enough organ donors and that’s what this is about, so if I can make more people talk about organ donations I’ll have succeeded,” she said. She said Maddie had been finding things tough, as her treatment meant she missed a lot at her school and couldn’t do many things with her friends. “People say she looks so well, she looks so healthy, but you don’t see kidney failure until you lift up
her shirt and see all those lines in her body,” she said. But she said Maddie’s love for animals, the people around her and her passion for life kept her strong. “Maddie is incredible. When she gets on her pony everything is right for her, even though I know how much energy it takes her to ride. Her inner strength puts some of us to shame sometimes,” she said. •Regular updates on Maddie’s condition will be posted on her Facebook page – www. facebook.com/groups/ maddiecollins •Maddie’s givealittle page is www. givealittle.co.nz/cause/ givethegiftoflifetomaddie •More information about becoming an organ donor or being tested to see if you would be a match can be found at www. cdhb.health.nz/HospitalsServices/Specialist-Care/ Nephrology/kidneydonation

Solution in the works for Rapaki Rd parking By Caitlin Miles A SOLUTION to parking woes on Rapaki Rd may be presented to the public in August. Parking on Rapaki Rd near the Rapaki Track has been an issue for residents for some time. The road leads to Rapaki Track, which is popular with walkers, runners and mountain bikers. In November, the city council proposed to ban parking on Rapaki Rd due to ongoing concern from residents about safely accessing the street and their driveways. A parking ban on one side of Erewhon Tce was also included in the plan because cars are often parked on that street if Rapaki Rd is full. City council acting head of transport Steffan Thomas said submissions on the project showed concerns over how the surrounding roads, such as Vernon Tce, would be impacted by the ban. As a result, the city council held off putting restrictions in place until city council staff could work out a plan for the surrounding streets.
PARKING CONCERNS: A new plan to ban parking like this on Rapaki Rd is expected to be presented to the public in August.
City council staff are currently preparing a proposal on parking restrictions for Rapaki Rd and the surrounding areas and plan to put it out for public consultation in August. City council staff went through the feedback from the community and are working on a proposal they plan to take out to public consultation in August. City council Transport Operations manager Aaron Haymes said staff went through
Discover this unique Emporium
the feedback from submitters taking into consideration the concerns on the surrounding streets. The city council received 93 submissions on the plans. Sixtysix supported the idea, 24 were against and three submissions were unclear. Thirty of those submissions, both for and against the parking restrictions, were concerned over the impact on the surrounding streets, particularly Vernon Tce.

Jaz Tuihana Vivian Our People Tomboy takes non gender-based Jaz Tuihana Vivian, 22, is making her mark in the fashion world with her unconventional clothing range. She talks to Georgia O’Connor-Harding Tell me about your fashion brand Losers Are Cool (LAC Crews)? I have always kind of had the dream of doing a tomboy clothing line but I have never really known enough about it. So I did a business course last year and it made me a little bit more confident about releasing it. A couple of my friends are in the fashion industry. I bounced ideas off them, came up with a name, put it all together and released it. There is actually nothing online that is purely tomboy clothing. What I wanted to do was take away that awkward shopping down the wrong aisle thing and make it all online so people don’t have to go into the shop. What made you realise you were a tomboy? I have always been a tomboy out playing rugby and getting muddy with the boys. I am not
a girly girl at all. Mum always tells me about when I was a kid she would dress me in a pretty pink dress and then I would go steal my brothers’ clothes just before we were about to go out. I played rugby for eight years. I had to take time off this year because it was getting too busy but I am into staying fit and healthy. It
makes you feel better at the end of the day. Tell me about your idea to have non-gender based clothing? I think these days in our society you know everyone is breaking down the barriers. And a lot of things have come to head that you know back in the day would be
special $29 offer FREE
scorned upon. I think with everyone breaking down these barriers why not me as well. I don’t understand why there is girl and boy clothing – it just puts that line in the middle. Have you always had a passion for equality? Just growing up being a tomboy you always have your battles. You have people at school and stuff saying things to you and it makes high school really uncomfortable. I thought if I could make it easy for people that are younger, that is me doing my bit. Was it a mission creating these clothes? It was a big mission but like I said, I had a few friends in the fashion industry so I bumped heads with them and thought what isn’t working about the clothes now and what I can improve on. Together we came up with a few ideas. I made it very basic so I can add onto it. My sister Jayde Vivian is an upcoming model so she was my model and her friends are interested in photography. Everything about it means a lot to me. It hasn’t been about making money. It is about making a difference. How did you get into the business side of things?
Definitely, I left high school at year 12. I was never into school but I knew I had to carry on doing something so I went to the New Zealand Institute of Sport thinking I would be a personal trainer and then I did a marketing paper in the curriculum. It was just what we had to do and I aced it. My teacher pulled me aside and said that was the best marketing paper she had seen. I was like why don’t I venture from that and do something with it rather than sitting in a gym all day. That is when I got into business. I was the class clown at school and it is a better feeling being successful now having not actually enjoyed school at all. What were your experiences like at school and how did you stay true to yourself? I had a lot of support from my family. Especially my mum. We have quite an open relationship. When I came home from school she could tell I was upset. I think that was the best. There were a few teachers at school I really related to. I think a mixture of that and people telling me I am unique is what pulled me through. But I definitely got bullied a lot.

clothing to the fashion world Getting out of school must have been the best for you? Absolutely, I was definitely a misfit. But I wouldn’t encourage anyone to just drop out of school - you have definitely got to have a plan. Mum said as soon as I had a plan I could sign out. How did you come up with the Losers are Cool idea? It just stemmed from school. I thought you look around the classroom and you have your popular kids, nerdy kids and out-right losers. The losers end up being the ones everyone wants to be around because they are genuinely the most successful ones. Do you think people began to look at you more positively as you all got older? Yes definitely, I have people messaging me now saying: ‘I know we didn’t get on at school but what you are doing is awesome.’ You get the support from those that influenced you to do this. It makes you feel a lot better. It all happened for a reason. What are your other passions? I work in hospitality as a bar tender at The Sideline Sports Bar in Richmond. I do my clothing line throughout the day. My job opened my eyes. I have been at the bar almost four years. I think being in the hospitality industry and
seeing people from all walks of life has opened my eyes to equality issues in society. Everyone should be themselves and not be put down. What do you think of the Southbridge community? I love going to my mum’s in Southbridge. The people there are genuinely interested in what everyone is doing. I know you get the small town stuff but people are interested in you going far. I like that aspect of country life. Everyone is genuinely happy and they have been supportive to people of all ages. One of my mum’s friends bought my own clothing. During those tough times at high school how did you overcome being bullied? I still get really bad anxiety. You have just got to remind yourself you are going in the right direction. It is hard at high school, there is the councillor but people feel intimidated going there because it seems like they have got an issue or weak. You have to find someone to talk to – even if it is just a teacher you have a comfortable relationship with. I am a pretty outgoing person so I didn’t find it that hard. Tell me a bit about your sister Jayde? At the start of the year she went
to New York Fashion Week. She is signed with NZ Models & Talent. They took a group of girls over there to Australia to do workshops. She said it was an amazing experience and opened her eyes up to the industry. She has left school end of year 12 as well and I suppose she is trying to find her feet. My brother Tyler is in a band called Idiio. It is short for idiosyncratic meaning unique. He used to be in a band in Christchurch called the Make Believes. I think we are all pretty creative. Are there any other plans you have for the future? What I really want to do is be a wedding planner and with my clothing line I want to make tom boy wedding apparel. That is my end goal. I want to do suits but tailored to fit women better. I could go into the dresses. I could make a dress that is more comfortable. Have you always had an interest in weddings? I have always been fascinated with love I think. It is amazing and with all this stuff going on with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. I think it is important to try and embrace and make people feel comfortable when it comes to their super special day in the life.

Homestead burns down By Mark Thomas – specialist fire investigator FIRES BEING attended at the moment are completely in keeping with this time of year. The old “metre heater” rule was broken in St Albans St a few weeks ago where clothing drying against a wall heater began to smoulder. As the time was 5.40am, the household was in bed asleep but were alerted by a working smoke alarm. Everybody got out and the house wasn’t badly fire affected. You can’t have too many smoke alarms. Without them, relatively minor events like this one can turn into a complete disaster. Some people coming home in Hoon Hay last week found their house completely full of smoke. An ash bucket had been smoking away, probably all day. Ash can remain hot for up to five days.
GONE: The old wooden home was destroyed in the fire last week. PHOTO: CAITLIN MILES
Fire ash needs to be completely removed from the house and preferably scattered in an area that can’t ignite. Too many washhouses and wood sheds have been lost from this seemingly unlikely source of fire ignition. I like grand old houses. Unfortunately, one in Kaituna Valley, Banks Peninsula, burnt down last week. Thankfully, the wheelchair-bound owner was taken outside early on and
no injury resulted. But the house is gone. Rural homes are often long distances from fire stations. What can be a minor event in town, where the fire crews are only minutes away, can be catastrophic in the country half an hour from the closest station. That’s why we recommend home sprinklers, particularly in rural areas. They might just save an irreplaceable homestead.

$122m highway progressing Belfast bypass now 80 per cent complete THIS IS what the Western Belfast Bypass looks like two years after work started. The New Zealand Transport Agency released drone footage this week of the $122 million project which will see a new four-lane, 5km stretch of highway constructed. Bypassing Belfast, it will extend the Christchurch Northern Motorway (SH1) and connect into State Highway 1/Johns Rd, west of The Groynes entrance. The bypass is part of the Government’s Christchurch Roads of National Significance programme, a multi-million dollar plan to make it easier and safer to travel throughout Christchurch and the Canterbury region. NZTA Christchurch highways manager Colin Knaggs said the project, which got under way two years ago this month, is about 80 per cent complete. “Over 375,000 hours have been worked on this project so

Rd, and over a new onramp that will link Main North Rd to the Northern Motorway.” These three structures are a major part of the project and are now close to being finished which is a great milestone for the project team.

Mr Knaggs said a lot of the work that went into these bridges is underground, hidden from view. “Before the project team could start building they had to carry out ground improvement work, constructing around 2400
columns of gravel and stone into the ground to make it denser,” he said. “This reduces the effects of liquefaction and ensures the bridge embankments remain stable, preventing damage to the bridge structures during an earthquake.” In addition, more than 30 steel encased reinforced concrete piles support each structure and extend 18 to 20m below ground level. The drone footage shows the 2km long mid-section of the project which has been out of public view during construction. “Aside from some road marking and other minor finishing touches, this section of the project is also close to being finished,” Mr Knaggs said. Over the next two months the project team will be working to reopen the new-look entrance to The Groynes and finishing a new pedestrian subway that will take Waimairi Walkway and Otukaikino Track users under the Western Belfast Bypass near Dickeys Rd, along with other road work. The bypass is expected to be completed by early 2018.

Burnside trumps bowls awards By Andrew King BURNSIDE HAS been named top club at Bowls Canterbury’s annual awards. Club president Alan Bryce said it has been a huge year and it was nice for members to see their hard work rewarded. “We have great bowlers and coaches here and it is great to be recognised,” he said. Burnside co-hosted the World Bowls Alan Championships Bryce with Bowls Papanui, Fendalton Bowling Club and the Bowls Canterbury Centre last year. Burnside also had a number of its members honoured with current Black Jack Tayla Bruce winning sportswoman of the year and young player of the year. Bruce finished competing with the national squad in the trans-Tasman test series at the Broadbeach Bowls Club, Gold Coast, on Friday. She is now competing in the Gold Coast multi-nations event, which finishes tomorrow. Burnside up-and-comer Alex Wilkinson, 15, won most consistent female player of the year, most improved player of the year and her second white star award.

SPORTS
MISSING: St Thomas will look to hold onto the Connetics Shield against Papanui without their influential captain Michael White, who has been ruled out for the next four to six weeks with concussion.
Thomas eased past with a 3-0 win. Papanui coach Liam Campfens said it was time they put hands on the elusive shield, which they had never held before. “The effort from the squad in
the last few games has been fantastic, but the results just haven’t been falling our way. With the shield on the line, we’re looking to put that right,” he said. As the halfway mark of the competition approaches, only two points separate the top four
teams. Burnside will look to take three points against Shirley at 7.30pm tomorrow after jumping into second spot on the table from fourth, with a 9-0 thumping of Rangiora last week. Last year’s meeting between the two was a goal fest, with Burnside taking the honours 7-4. Middleton will take on struggling Christ’s at 5.45pm tomorrow after being beaten by Christchurch Boys’ High 2-1 last week. The men from Acacia Ave have slid from eighth to 10th on the table after two consecutive defeats and will be looking to get back to their winning ways. Riccarton take on St Bede’s at 4pm and CBHS play Rangiora at 5.45pm. CBHS’s victory over Middleton last week pushed them from ninth to eighth on the table, while Riccarton lost 6-2 against Cashmere. All games will be played at the Christchurch Football Centre. Points table 1. Lincoln, 11pts; 2. Burnside, 10pts; 3. Cashmere, 10pts; 4. St Thomas, 9pts; 5. St Andrew’s, 9pts; 6. St Bede’s, 9pts; 7.

Migraine relief Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck
It’s not very well known that almost 13 percent of people – including childrensuffer from headaches and migraines. It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world and causes 91 percent of the people it affects to miss work or reduce their functional capacity. In the past 10 years, the understanding of what causes headaches and migraines has significantly changed. The research now shows that the sensitisation of the brain stem in
your neck is what causes this pain; and the specially trained physiotherapists at Muscle People are well versed in how to treat it. Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle People, had this to say about her experience: “My migraines were debilitating and they’d often come without warning. Sometimes once a week, but generally about once a month. I’d moved up from Dunedin where I’d managed them
with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In Christchurch I was so reluctant to let anyone near my neck. I read the article and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I went to the first appointment with a page of all the concerns I had. The first time I met Laurie I remember walking out and feeling more in control. After about four treatments with Laurie and perfecting the technique she taught me I truly began to reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I feel a migraine coming on I now have the control to manage it myself, even stopping them from taking over, without needing someone to drive me in to the osteopath or the hospital for an injection to relieve the pain. With the technique Laurie taught me I’m armed and dangerous!” Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained in Australia in the award winning and ground breaking Watson Approach to dealing with headaches and migraines. This proven method examines and treats the movements of the first three segments of the neck, which when sensitised cause headaches and migraines. “In our clinics we see people from as far away as Invercargill who come to us specially to seek treatment” says Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium in Australia we went to just recently reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we
do, and honed our skills even more.” Generally patients will come to our clinic four or five times in the first few weeks of treatment. We show them some very simple exercises to do at home. After the first few weeks, treatment sessions are guided by how the patient is feeling. “Often patients come to us at the end of a long journey having tried quite a few other treatments, and we are able to help them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie says.

How’s your sleep? Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don’t get enough quality sleep. Insufficient sleep, or disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle, may cause you to feel stressed, moody, unhappy, depressed, frustrated, fatigued, as well as cause poor concentration, memory, weight gain, skin conditions and even be a factor in faster aging and degenerative diseases. Melatonin is your sleep hormone. It is secreted by your brain’s pineal gland at the day’s end to help you relax and prepare for sleep. As you drift into sleep more melatonin is released to put you into a deep restorative sleep. Unfortunately many of us do not produce enough melatonin to achieve a quality sleep, and to sleep continuously through until morning. If you have trouble going to sleep, and/or wake often throughout the night you could be low in melatonin. Montmorency Tart Cherries are an excellent source of naturally occurring phyto-melatonin. Tru2U Sleep Support contains 100% pure tart cherry concentrate. It is an excellent natural way to increase your melatonin levels and improve your sleep. It is ideal for the whole family Melatonin is only produced at significant levels by the pineal gland when it is dark. It is imperative to sleep in a dark room with no lights for your body’s natural production of melatonin. Research conducted at Michigan State University found Montmorency Tart Cherries to contain some of the highest concentrations known of antioxidants including potent anthocyanins. These
potent antioxidants help keep the body healthy. According to Dr. Lester Packer, PhD, world renowned cell biologist, “There is overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrating that people who eat a diet rich in antioxidants will live longer, healthier lives.” Tart cherry juice has been found to support joint health, mobility, flexibility and muscle recovery. It contains an enzyme called “uricase” that helps break down uric acid in the joints, which can lead to joint pain and gout. Montmorency tart cherry juice has also been shown to significantly reduce high blood pressure at levels comparable to that achieved by medication but without the side effects of medication according to new research from Northumbria University, Newcastle. Participants with the highest blood pressure saw the most benefit. Tru2U Sleep Support is 100% pure tart cherry concentrate. It is a great product to support healthy sleep and general good health.

How’s your blood pressure? There are many tell-tale signs our health isn’t what it should be. Finding out we have higher than normal blood pressure is an important one. According to Julian Marshall, owner of Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in New Brighton, making a few life changes can help you keep on top of it. “Our body is really amazing. It has the ability to heal itself of just about any disease if we make the effort to do the right things! Often there are signs that things are not right and this is the time to find out why. Disease doesn’t happen for no reason. Cardiovascular disease, one of the leading causes of death is generally very preventable. The secret is to make the changes before things get too bad!” Some symptoms of high blood pressure include, headaches, migraines, not noticing the cold, the feeling of pressure in the head and nose bleeds, but often the first sign that something is wrong comes in a more life threatening manner. “The kidneys don’t handle high blood pressure very well, and can become seriously damaged as a result. Or, worsecase scenario, you can suddenly have a stroke or aneurysm, or even a heart attack.” To have good cardiovascular health, the systolic reading – the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart pumps – should be 120 (or less) and the diastolic reading – which is the pressure in the arteries between beats or while the heart
is resting should be between 60 & 70. It is common when talking about blood pressure to say the systolic reading over the diastolic reading, i.e. 120/60. Blood pressure can vary considerably over a relatively short period of time. It is also best to check your blood pressure when you are relaxed at home. For this reason I recommend it is a good idea to purchase your own digital blood pressure unit and check your blood pressure regularly. They are easy to use and can give you a good indication of what may be effecting your blood pressure especially if it is high. A moderate increase in blood pressure can be caused by many things including stress & worry. Blood pressure over
140/70 is often caused by poor circulation. Poor circulation again can be caused by various factors especially plaque build-up in the blood vessels but also if the blood vessels are not supple enough or in poor condition. Calcium is an important mineral for good health. However it often builds up in the arteries as calcium plaque restricting blood flow. Researchers have found Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 can allow this calcium to be pulled out of the arteries and absorbed into the bones and tissues where it belongs. It can therefore help prevent osteoporosis also. Montmorency tart cherry juice has been shown to significantly reduce high blood pressure at levels comparable

to that achieved by medication but without the side effects according to new research from Northumbria University, Newcastle. Participants with the highest blood pressure saw the most benefit. Recommended dosage is 30ml, two or three times daily away from food. Not only will tart cherry juice help your B/P but its powerful antioxidants and concentrated nutrients can support good health, joint function, help clear up gout and give you a much more restful deep sleep. Drinking delicious Hibiscus tea has been shown to lower elevated blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, reduce muscle cramps as well as support the central nervous system. Try to drink at least 2-3 cups daily. The lack of magnesium can be a major contributor too, with most people having less than optimum levels. “Sure signs of being low in magnesium include having an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, migraines, muscle cramps, twitches and night time teeth grinding are just a few.” These are just a few supplements we highly recommend to help you support your good health and blood pressure.

Get rid of dampness in your house
Now wITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. RISING dAmp is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team

understands the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our New Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

The facts about home ventilation Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure Under the New Zealand Building Code, all buildings, including residential, need to be suitably ventilated, either with opening windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this provision is to safeguard people from illness or loss of amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are many benefits to forced, or mechanical, ventilation over opening windows, including warmth, security, reduction of outside noises and reduction of condensation. Traditional domestic ventilation systems are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from outside via the roof space and force the stale air out through gaps around windows and doors. The incoming air from these systems has to be heated or cooled to keep the house warm in winter or cool in summer. The Smooth-Air HEX390 is a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It extracts air from the house and at the same time brings in fresh air. These two streams of air pass through a heat exchanger, which warms incoming air in winter and cools in summer if air conditioning is being used. This means that up to 80% of the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure system is recovered, resulting in significant energy savings and therefore lower heating or cooling costs. Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation systems have been considerably more expensive than traditional positive pressure systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 balanced pressure system can be installed for a similar price as a traditional positive pressure system.
