Double glazing is the process of sealing two panes of glass together with a layer of air or gas in between.

Double glazing Wellington homes maximise their thermal insulation, making homes 50-70% warmer in winter, and also keeping homes cooler in summer.

In older style character homes, new and existing colonial and lead lighting windows can be double glazed.

There is a host of benefits to installing double glazed windows! These include:

Keeps the Home Warm in Winter

Double glazed windows insulate your home against Wellington winters, by helping to stop the heat from escaping to outside.

Insulates Against the Heat in Summer

In summer double glazing stops the heat outside from coming in through the windows.

Keeps Electricity Prices Down

Timber double glazing as well as aluminum double glazing puts your home at a more comfortable temperature. You use less heating and air-conditioning thus reducing your electricity bills.

Reduces Noise

Doubled glazed windows are essentially three layers of sound protection rather than just one. The gap in between the layers also contributes to eliminating noise. A single sheet of glass allows much of the outside noise inside.

Reduces Condensation

Condensation in winter can occur as a result of air condensing on the colder surface of a single pane of glass. Double glazing Wellington houses can help to stop this problem in all rooms including bathrooms.

Great for Resale

When selling your property the insulation benefits, reduced electricity costs, noise reduction, and reduced condensation are all factors that prospective buyers like to see, making for a quicker sale.

Double glazing is great for insulation, noise reduction, keeping your electricity costs down and eliminating condensation. It is a selling point when you are looking to sell the property. Your existing window design can remain intact if you choose. It is perfect for colonial double glazing, timber double glazing, older character homes, and also for lead lighting style windows.

Also known as insulated glazing, double glazing is the process of installing two panes of glass, rather than the standard single pane, to reduce noise and heat transmission through doors and windows.

Typically, in a standard house with single glaze windows, heat and noise are easily transferred through the glass. In summer, this means heat can penetrate through the glass, heating up your home. The same applies for winter, cold air is transmitted through the windows and doors around your home which causes it to cool down quickly.

Double glazing with timber is a great way to reduce your energy consumption and save money on gas and electricity bills. Rather than having to constantly turn on and off your heating and cooling to regulate the temperature, double glazing keeps your home at a more stable temperature.

Many people chose double glazing not only to regulate temperature in the home but also to keep noise out. If you live on a busy street with lots of traffic or near a train station where you can hear trains passing at all hours of the day and night, double glazing is a much more reasonable and affordable option that selling or moving houses!

Another benefit to double glazing with timber to your home that is important but often overlooked is security. A large majority of burglars enter the home through a window or glass door. Intruders can easily gain access through a single glaze window however have a much harder time entering the home through glass that has been double glazed with timber. The difficulty of this would usually be enough to deter them completely.

So for a quieter, safer, more energy efficient home anywhere in Wellington; consider double glazing your windows and doors by Absolute Glass Wellington.
