Double Glazed Windows Melbourne

The simple addition of double glazing to buildings helps to solve a range of building design problems, from poor energy efficiency to poor sound insulation and more.  Many commercial and residential buildings like hospitals, shopping centres, apartment buildings, homes and offices have higher heating and cool costs than necessary. In many cases this is due to heat transfer through single glazed windows.

Often, expensive curtains or blinds are installed in an attempt to reduce this thermal transfer. While these do block sunlight from entering the room, they do not restrict the transfer of heat, so do not significantly improve a room’s insulation.

This problem may be easily solved by double glazing.  This involves creating a layer of inert gas, like argon, between two panes of glass.

If you have single glazed windows, don’t despair. It’s easy to retrofit double glazed windows to your home. When it comes to investing in your property, this one is a no-brainer.

Your home is your biggest asset and where you spend much of your time, so it makes sense to make it as comfortable and affordable to run as possible. Double glazing will reduce your energy bills and lower your carbon footprint, as well as improving your home’s liveability and security and even add value to your home.

The world we live in demands that the cost of double glazing always be a consideration.  That’s quite normal as, depending on your home, it may turn out to be an above average financial investment.

So, consider this – when people make an investment, they want see a return.  Double glazing certainly provides this!  Unfortunately, there are no specific rules on how large the savings will be due to the installation of double glazing because every house will have many factors affecting it to varying degrees. These include orientation, number of windows, natural shading, verandahs, building design and latitude.
