Is your home one of the million or so homes in New Zealand with little or no insulation?
Is your modern, "well insulated" home still losing up to 50% of its heat through its single-glazed windows?
Have you been looking for a way to achieve a more stable, comfortable temperature in your home all year round?
Then it's high time you took a look at what double glazing can do for the comfort of your family!
What is Double Glazing and RetroFit Double Glazing?
Double-glazed windows and doors consists of two pieces of glass sealed together with an air space in between. This air space acts as a thermal barrier - effectively reducing the transfer of heat between the interior and exterior of a building.
If you have existing single-glazed windows/doors and wish to replace them with double-glazed ones while keeping your existing frames, then this upgrade process is known as Retrofit Double Glazing.
The following video from our glass supplier gives a bit more details on the process.
