Mobile glaziers Wellington, Retrofit double glazing Wellington

Keeping your home warmer in New Zealand weather does not necessarily mean having to get new heating insulation, in fact, well insulated homes can still lose up to 50% of their heat through single-glazed windows. The answer is installing double glazed windows. This is a cost effective option for not only retaining heat, but also for reducing outdoor noises, condensation and energy bills.

Double glazed windows are made from two cuts of glass sealed together with a space of air in between – this allows sunlight to pass but prevents heat from escaping. Double glazed windows are either installed or retro-fitted onto your existing aluminium windows, with only a small difference to the finished look. Installing double glazed windows in the home or workplace has many benefits:

The main advantage is added insulation – installing double glazed windows means that less heat or air is entering or leaving the home or workplace, lowering the need for residential heating systems or air conditioning.

Double glazed windows can add extra protection to the home or workplace, as most intruders try breaking in by smashing a window. The double layer in the window means that the intruder would spend more time breaking past each layer, therefore increasing their chances of being caught or triggering a burglar alarm (and therefore, hopefully, scaring the intruder away).

Noise made by close-by traffic or factories can easily be decreased by having double glazed windows. The insulation between the double panes of glass creates a much higher sound effective barrier than a single pane of glass, allowing residents to live in a much quieter, peaceful home.

You can also dramatically decrease your energy bill, as double glazing your home can reduce heat costs to up to 73%! This will mean a cheaper, warmer and healthier home for you and your family to live in.
