Retro Fitting & Double Glazing
Why Change To Double Glazing
You may ask yourself why would I change from my single glazed windows and doors to double glazing, what am I gaining from this process?
A single pane of glass provides low insulation throughout your home and over the years the glass industry has developed ways to gain better insulation throughout New Zealand homes, keeping your home warmer, dryer and healthy.
Glass is a great heat conductor, therefore much of your homes heat loss is through your windows. By installing double glazing throughout your home, you will gain two pieces of glass with an air gap between forming a much greater insulation barrier.
The sun’s rays will naturally start heating up your home throughout the day, as the temperature outside starts to drop in the late evening, the natural solar gain you have created becomes trapped by the double insultation, helping you conserve your house holds energy bills.
