Why double glaze?
9 Great reason to get you home retrofit dougle glazing.
Cooler in Summer
During summer in New Zealand the temperature can rise to anywhere between 20-30ºC. This is sometimes a little too hot to handle and the inside of our homes become like ovens. To combat this Ryan Double Glazing can use specialty glass that helps to reduce solar heat gain and the impact of harsh UV rays which get inside during the warmer months.
Warmer in Winter
Double glazing is commonly referred to as window insulation. The double glazed unit works as a barrier between the inside of your home and the cold winter air outside. Double glazing can significantly reduce the heat loss reduction in your home. This means less energy consumption which means saving you money on heating bills.
Reduce Condensation
Condensation or ‘crying windows’ are common place in New Zealand homes. Condensation on windows can occur when the temperature of the glass is colder than the inside temperature of your home. This causes water vapour from the atmosphere to condense and settle on the surface of your window. Less water on the glass means curtains last longer!
Reduced Noise
Double glazing your existing aluminium windows and doors means noisy neighbours and high traffic areas will be less of a barrier to peaceful living. Standard double glazing alone will help reduce the amount of noise coming through the glass in your joinery. However, with the use of speciality laminate glass the impact of noise can be reduced even more.
Reduced UV Radiation
Carpets have faded over the years? Maybe even your upholstery too? This could be due to the harsh rays known as Ultraviolet (UV) light. UV is a harmful light that not only speeds up the fading of furnishings but can have damaging effects on our skin and eyes too. Double glazing helps reduce the amount UV light getting into your home by reflecting some of the harsh rays off the double glazed units.
Improved Security
Double glazed units are made up of two panes of glass with an air or argon gas space in between. This creates an extra barrier between the inside and outside of your home, making it harder for your windows to break.The use of toughened or laminated glass will help your windows to withstand a misdirected cricket ball or an attempted break-in by undesirables.
Meet New Building Standards
All new homes in New Zealand now need to be built with double glazed windows and doors. By double glazing your existing joinery, you will be bringing your aluminium windows and doors up to current building code standards without the need for permits and builders.
Every Home is Different
When it comes to double glazing, one size does not fit all. Every family and their home have individual needs and outcomes they want to achieve. Because of this, Ryan Double Glazing customises every single order to help achieve the best possible results. You can expect personal service.
Add Value to Your Home
Double glazing can add real value to your home by improving comfort, efficiency, and liveability. Warmer, quieter, drier homes are increasingly expected by buyers in New Zealand. Retrofitting double glazing into your existing aluminium joinery improves performance and brings your home closer to modern building standards, without the cost or disruption of full window replacement.
