UPVC DOUBLE GLAZE NOW

UPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) Windows & Doors, are a low maintenance and highly superior building material, used to replace/substitute painted wood or even aluminium glazed units. UPVC is both Water & Air tight, which help deliver a host of benefits. UPVC Windows & Doors are fast becoming Australia’s preferred choice. Double Glazed Glass Units are thicker, tougher and far more durable than traditional single glazing, and when you add this to the UPVC frames, you have a Window or Door unit that is far superior to any other options available in Australia. UPVC Double Glazed Windows & Doors can typically last 20-25 years (and sometimes even longer).

With Multipoint Locking Mechanisms and Reinforced Steel in the UPVC Frame and Double Glazed Panels, it is little wonder why UPVC Double Glazing is considered the most secure Windows & Doors ahead of wood & aluminium. Overall UPVC Double Glazing is so resilient that it would take a very real effort and quite some time, to be able to break through them.

UPVC Double Glazed Windows & Doors are Environmentally Friendly due to their ability to conserve energy throughout the course of their lifetime. This is down to Thermally Insulated Frames which reduce external temperature transmission and Multi Paned Glass, which literally creates a thicker barrier between the home and external elements. Double Glazed units can also be Argon Gas Filled and/or Low-E Glass, which largely increases the Energy Efficiency and Performance of your Thermal Windows & Doors. Energy & Thermally Efficient Windows and Doors will reduce cooling during Summer and Heating during Winter, simply because of their build and design.

UPVC Double Glazing is Energy Efficient because they reduce energy costs. UPVC Windows & Doors are more sustainable because they would not need to be replaced, repaired or maintained as often, so less maintenance materials would be required over their lifetime and less landfill from discarded windows and doors being replaced. This not only lowers your Carbon Footprint, but is also a cost saving exercise.

While UPVC Double Glazing is more expensive initially, than its Wooden & Aluminium counterparts, the savings made on Energy Bills, repairs, maintenance and even replacements, would considerably outweigh the cost over time. Similarly, to purchasing Solar Hot Water. While the initial outlay can be considerably more than simply installing a traditional boiler, the savings over the life of the Solar Hot Water unit far outweigh the outlay!

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We think the best example we can offer here is simply to direct you to our Gallery. As you can see, our UPVC Windows & Doors are Highly Aesthetic and look far better than cheap looking aluminium or standard wooden. We do accept that Brand New Hardwood Windows look great, but unless you regularly maintain them, hardwood can deteriorate quite quickly, especially in the harsh Australian climate.

Thicker, Multi-Paned Windows that have Thicker, Denser Frames are obviously going to block out more noise that a simple single paned glass unit. Double Glazing can reduce unwanted external noise by up to 38 decibels. An acceptable level of outside noise can sit around 30-40 decibels. So as an example, large amounts of traffic on a busy road/highway can increase levels to approx. 60-70 decibels and should you unfortunately live near an airport, you could find noise levels as high as 100+ decibels. Couple this with the fact that every Australian Homeowner wants larger windows to enjoy natural daylight and this creates even bigger issues. When noise hits single glazed windows, the window pane vibrates. This causes the air on the opposite side of your window to vibrate and this is how we can hear the outside in. When you add an extra pane of glass, the amount of vibration is largely reduced and the unwanted external noise reduces exponentially.
