Hi guys, I'm building in Sydney south west near Glenfield. Thinking to upgrade the windows or glass doors to double glazing with thermally broken frame. Requirement is : be cool in summer and warm in winter and also saving energy bills. Thanks in advance.

You'll want to avoid having Low-E glass to the Northern windows, as this would reduce their heat gain from winter sun. An SHGC of 0.

Given these windows are mostly shaded in summer, but not winter, you are better transmitting the radiation. I'd also suggest you get more northern glass into the living, and reduce the western glass onto alfresco.

If you have massive glass expanses facing west like a new home in Harrison facing west to Flemington Road like a bloody fishbowl , no amount of window improvement is going to stop you from baking inside in summer. You have to stop summer sun even hitting any glass wherever you can. Awnings or eaves, plus landscaping are also critical for any windows exposed to the south-west afternoon summer sun.

As an aside, when checking out some architects for our design, I went to see Strine. Double glazing is easily the best home improvement you can make from noise and heat loss pollution do it now you will notice the difference how ever make sure the company is reputable and check at least two references. Well now you opening up a can of worms. Yes it does make a difference. If you read into some of the hits, there is a big difference between windows on different sides of the house, which City you are in, etc.

There are some readings from that search option that describe in great detail the rating levels of windows, insulation, aspect etc, and how this triggers whether your house gets a 2 star or 6 stars. A North facing window will attract more points than a south facing window. Stars are broken down into points. For example, my own house is rated at 5 Stars with 13 sub points, so I am just shy of 6 Stars although that was prior to internal fitout. Oh and one other reason we got the double glazing was the original s glass in the house.

It was thin and rattled whenever we closed a door or the wind was blowing. Not to mention we were worried the floor to ceiling windows would one day see our kids going through them. In that situation we were told the glass would shatter into nice jagged edges also!

No one is going to smash them and reach through to let themselves in very quickly! Made by Monaro Windows Queanbeyan. The difference in both noise and thermal properties was noticeable immediately — the chill you feel standing near an uncurtained window in the evening is there but only barely noticeable, compared to our other windows which are like standing in front of an open fridge!

We have quotes to replace the glass in several other windows with double-glazed units. The installation price includes routering out the timber frames to take the thicker units. Thanks for your comments — Aronde, my parents had double glazed done about 5 yrs ago and it was so much cheaper too. I asked all of the window companies who did quotes why it had gotten so much more expensive — answer was same for all.

Supply and demand — window manufacturers can basically charge what they want, so they go crazy! Very annoying! I looked into comfort glass as well, it relects light so thats how it works, however dbl glazing is more than double as effective as comfort glass from the research I did. Yeah, like Pandy sez.

I mentioned the thickness because of sound insulating properties. The Comfort Plus has some sort of reflecting mechanism I have a feeling it is a tint inside the window, not on the outside but that it works best for direct sunlight or something like that.

You can google E-glass and find out more. Comfort Plus is probably just a brand name. The only unfortunate thing was that the company that Spanline used to use Homespace did the work. My advice is that double-glazing works but is not a miracle solution to noise. Good luck. We had the whole house except for a sliding door upgraded to double glazed about 10 years ago. We have timber framed windows. Just Rite home improvements remove the existing glass and install the made to measure double glazed units.

Absolutely worthwhile for both heat and noise insulation. My father was visiting and had his normal room. Commented the next morning how it was much busier than normal the night before … no busier, he had simply slept with the window slightly open. Another on the noise front, one of my boys plays the drums … the neighbours never complain.
