Double Glazing

Metro GlassTech are specialists in double glazing for both new and existing homes

There are over one million homes in New Zealand with little or no insulation, and even modern, well insulated homes are still losing up to 50% of their heat through single-glazed windows.  New building standards now mean new homes will be fitted with double glazing recognising that single-glazed windows are notoriously poor at any insulation as single glass panels transfer cold very easily, reducing the temperature inside, thus requiring a greater amount of energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Metro GlassTech's high performance double glazing can significantly reduce heat loss, and make for a warmer, drier, healthier home for you and your family. Double glazed windows will help keep generated heat inside, keeping your home at a more consistent temperature - cutting down your power costs.

What is Double Glazing?

Double glazing is made from two pieces of glass sealed together with an air space in between. A double glazed window sits in your window frame just as regular single glazing would, but provides a number of extra benefits. Whether you are looking to keep your home warmer, quieter or reduce condensation, Metro GlassTech can recommend the best combination of glass types to meet your needs.

Specifically designed to reduce heat loss from homes and buildings, double glazing also performs many other benefits, including:

• Warmer in winter
• Cooler in summer
• Reduces condensation
• Reduces energy usage
• Reduces noise
• Enhances resale value

Double glazing works to maintain a consistent temperature in your home all year round, making it so comfortable you won't want to leave.

The work is quick and unobtrusive. Metro GlassTech will measure your windows, the new units will be made at one of our factories and a date set for installation. Unless you look closely you will probably never notice the change - except the temperature inside your home, the reduction in condensation and your increased comfort.
