We specialise in retrofit double glazing (retro glazing) for timber and aluminium-framed windows and doors for homes across the Wellington area.
Retro glazing will improve the value of your property and save on energy bills. Using high-performance low E glass, your home will be warmer in winter, cooler in summer and more energy efficient all year round.
Retro glazing is a fast, affordable, and unobtrusive way of double-glazing existing windows, doors, conservatories and skylights, keeping and refurbishing your existing joinery and swapping out your single glazed windows with genuine high-quality and performance double glazed units.
Call us today for a free consultation! We work across the wider Wellington City region including the Hutt Valley and up to Plimmerton.
* Double glazing prevents moisture from condensing on windows but doesn’t reduce excess moisture building up in the air inside your home. To reduce excess moisture, ventilation is key, achieved by opening windows, controlled ventilation systems, extractor fans, dehumidifiers and air conditioning.
Retro glazing your home is a significant investment so it’s important to choose the best glazing system, specific glass types and genuine high-performing double glazing products for your property and needs.
These can vary with aspect (north, south, east and west) and your priority for controlling heat loss, solar heat gain, glare, fading, privacy and noise. You also need to factor in safety glass requirements for doors, bathrooms, low-level glazing and overhead glass, and ensure the glass types chosen are appropriate for your location and wind zone.
Our consultants are experts and will help you choose the best solution and products to achieve the outcomes you want in each room of your home.
You don’t need to replace all windows at once – or even every window. You can prioritise your spending on bedrooms and main living areas, particularly if these are south facing and lose more heat than they gain.
Our experienced consultants will guide you through the process to design a solution customised to your needs and budget, based on performance data.
The following case studies of retrofit double glazing projects we’ve completed illustrate a range of different house types and customer views, including ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs.
