Double Glazing Heritage Windows

Maintain your home’s original character and aesthetic

Heritage homes often feature original timber windows such as sash windows or awning windows with intricate decoration and traditional proportions. Retrofit double glazing your existing heritage windows enables you to upgrade the performance of your windows while preserving their heritage style and charm.

Improved insulation, reduced heat transfer and improved comfort

A major benefit of double glazing heritage windows is improved insulation through a reduction in heat transfer. Heritage windows, which are often single paned, allow heat to pass though easily which will heat up your home in summer and make your home colder in winter.

By upgrading to double glazed windows with two panes of glass with an insulating gap, the amount of heat entering and escaping your home will stabilise, resulting in more even temperatures and improved in-home comfort.

Reduce drafts in older timber frames

Older heritage or period home windows may have small gaps that allow hot or cold air to pass into your home. Upgrading to double glazed windows with modern sealing techniques can eliminate these gaps and improve the comfort of your home all year round.

Reduce energy bills

With a more stable and even inside temperature you can cut back on air conditioning and heating usage, saving you money.

Reduce condensation

Condensation forming on windows is common in older homes especially during colder months. Double glazing your windows helps to reduce condensation by creating a thermal barrier that enables the inner pane of glass and the surrounding air to maintain a warmer temperature. This reduces the chance of condensation forming, which can lead to mould build-up on windows.

Improved Acoustic Properties 

Heritage or period homes are often located in established inner suburbs with busy roads or tram lines. Double glazed glass reduces external noise, creating quieter interiors that suit work-from-home spaces, bedrooms and living areas.
