What is retrofit double glazing?

Monica from No. 8 Building Recyclers

Hi there! Hope you're all having a nice day
Today we are here to talk about retrofit double glazing. But what is it?
The name kind of gives it away, right? Anyway, it is the process of replacing a single glass pane with double glazed units, filling the gap between the panes with a poor conductor gas or leaving it under vacuum.
But why would you do it?
The gap between the panes acts as an insulator (for more info, ask a chemical engineer about heat transfer in different materials xD) keeping the heat inside and therefore reducing your power bill as well as making a small (but important!) step towards a more sustainable planet. During summer, the opposite happens, it keeps the heat out and your house cool.
There are other benefits, like reducing noise and condensation inside the house
Check out our website no8recyclers.co.nz..., there you can find more info and see all the many other workshop services that we offer

Cheers!
