Why use double glazed windows
Windows and doors are key components in any home as it is a connection to the outside world, allowing us to see outside and thermally, by feeling what the weather conditions are like. Unfortunately compared to your walls and roof, glass windows and doors are not very good at providing insulation.
Even though Australia is known for its mild climate, anyone living here will know that we can have harsh Australian summers and very cool winters and because our homes are poorly insulated, the internal temperatures can be uncomfortable. As a result, energy efficiency is becoming more important to all homeowners as we look for ways to cut down on those energy bills.
If you are looking for a cost effective way to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, then double glazed windows are an excellent investment to consider.
When to use double glazed windows
- If you have rooms with windows that get very hot or cold
- If you live near a busy street or have trouble sleeping and need noise reduction
- If you have high energy bills and are looking to reduce them
- If you want greater security from your windows as single panes are easier to break
- If you are looking to replace your existing windows with something more durable and long lasting
- If you are building a home and want better thermal insulation and acoustic insulation
- If you are selling your home and want to add value with an additional selling point

Choosing the right double glazed windows
With so many different types of double glazed windows available, it can be difficult to make the right choice for your home. There are many factors that go into window performance. Some of these include:
Choice of window arrangement
The more air tight the windows are, the more energy efficient they will be. For example, sliding windows will let in more air than casement windows. Likewise the design of double hung sash windows means that it's difficult to eliminate air leakage. So how well the air is sealed should be an important factor in your choice of window arrangement.
Choice of Window Frame
Although there are many parts to a window, one of the most important considerations is the choice of window frame, especially if you have small windows. The smaller the window the higher the proportion the frame will become so the performance of the frame will dominate how much energy is passing through.
Traditionally, timber and aluminium windows have been most popular in the Australian market. Timber is a better insulator but needs more maintenance, while aluminium is the opposite - a poor insulator but easy to look after. When it comes to performance, our preference is to use UVPC windows (a synthetic material that is very strong and insulates well but is also low maintenance). UPVC windows have been popular in Europe and the U.S for some time and is becoming more in demand for Australian homes. If you want more information about UPVC windows, feel free to send us an enquiry form.
The glass performance
There are many more aspects to take into consideration when talking about glass. These include:
- glass thickness
- the type of spacers used
- the dimensions of the space between the two panes
- The use of gas or air between the panes
However an easier way to understand glass performance is simplified by two thermal measures - U value and Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) value. U value refers to the rate of heat flowing through a window whilst SHGC is a measure of the solar radiation going through the glazed windows and into a building. For both measures, the lower the number, the higher the energy efficiency.
