Winterglaze Double Glazing is designed to reduce heat loss through inefficient single pane windows, which up till now, have been the traditional windows installed in NZ homes. A single pane of glass quickly conducts precious warmth from inside your home, to the outside environment, which is a waste of energy and money.
Did you know that the heat loss through our double glazed window units can be significantly reduced compared to single glazed windows? In fact, our double glazed windows can reduce heat loss by over 54%, ensuring a more comfortable indoor environment in the winter.
While they’re known for keeping the cold at bay during winter, their impact extends beyond just insulation. In summer, these windows create a thermal barrier that keeps your home noticeably cooler by reducing the heat transmitted by the sun’s rays. In fact, you can enjoy a reduction in temperature of over 50% during the warmer months.
Whether your windows are timber or aluminium, the Winterglaze Thermal Spacer provides a separation between the original window and the additional secondary glazing unit, as well as allowing ventilation of the cavity. This patent pending design feature reduces fogging and eliminates infill distortion – common problems with many other secondary glazing products – while still allowing easy removal for cleaning.
A sliding screen with a colour matched metal handle and integrated interlocking edge allows you to open either sliding or opening awning type windows.
The Winterglaze system is only available through authorised Winterglaze dealers, who have the knowledge and expertise to advise and install the correct Retrofit configuration for your home.
Winterglaze Retrofit units are manufactured from high quality components, including the NZ manufactured Insulated Glass Units, which are vital to the quality of insulation offered. With a 5 year warranty and the backing of the nationwide HomePlus group, you can feel reassured that your double glazing needs will be expertly taken care of.
Winterglaze IGU Type | Decrease in Heat Loss |
Standard | 47 – 54% |
Low E and Argon | 69 – 73% |
Installation of standard IGU’s (Insulating Glass Units) can decrease heat loss by between 47-54%, dramatically improved by upgrading to a speciality gas instead of air in the sealed units, or special reflective glass products.
