Aluminium Retro Double Glazing In The Marlborough Sounds By The Glassman NZ

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.

Benefits of Double Glazing

Double-glazed windows and doors have many advantages over single-glazed ones. Double-glazed units...

  • provide a more comfortable living (or working) space
  • are more energy efficient and can result in lower energy bills
  • reduce condensation build-up
  • reduce noise transfer through improved sound insulation
  • are stronger and tougher to break, thereby providing added security

In addition, double glazing tends to increase the value of your home.
