Euro Double Glazing works very simply by installing 8mm frameless glass panes on the inside of your existing windows. The finished product is stylish & beautiful as there is no frame of uPVC, magnet or aluminium to ruin the appearance of your room; frameless = almost invisible. We use high-quality designer stainless steel hinges and our unique custom built window pane assembly will fit perfectly and functionally over what you have, allowing ease of opening for fresh air & cleaning. Our advanced sealing system gives the air buffer needed for superior acoustic and thermal insulation improvements. Security is enhanced with our Spanjolet handles. Euro Double Glazing is well suited to older homes with timber framed windows, especially where conservation and heritage considerations are integral. Features & Benefits Acoustic Problems Solved The location and orientation of a building can greatly influence the need for improved acoustic characteristics of the windows and glazing systems. Property located near flight paths, inner city locations near trains, expressways, noisy schools or businesses and major road traffic are all examples of acoustic problems. If noise reduction is your primary concern, an air gap of at least 80mm is optimal and this is very expensive with a typical IGU double-glazed window. If your windows are set deep in the wall, the Euroglazing system can be the perfect way to dramatically improve acoustic insualtion. Great Thermal Insulation The high thermal insulation properties contribute to a pleasant peaceful home with an even temperature. Turn off your fans and air-conditioning in Summer and your heaters in Winter. Preserve your Existing Windows It’s usually not until you’ve lived in a space that the need for double or secondary glazing becomes apparent. The choice then becomes whether to replace the entire window and frame or find something attractive, functional and affordable to supplement what you have. The EuroGlazing solution is just that and beyond all the technical advantages, it means your home will look the same from the outside, which is often a prime consideration. Architecturally Designed in Europe For over 20 years, our parent company has been designing and manufacturing these quality fittings and glazing systems in The Netherlands. Better for the Environment Keeping your existing timber windows, you not only save on your own heating and cooling costs, which reduces waste and your carbon footprint on the planet, but you also save the resources and energy cost required to manufacture new windows. “Where an old wood window is restored and equipped with a good storm window, it has been repeatedly shown in field studies to perform at least as well as a typical thermal replacement window — and at a much lower cost.” See this excellent webpage about preserving and enhancing old timber windows: http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/windows.htm High Performance Glass Profiles In Australia we can source some of the most technically efficient and condition-specific glass in the world. We work with major suppliers such as CSR who produce the innovative Viridian ComfortPlus™ and Viridian SmartGlass™ See http://www.smartglass.com.au/more/ These high performance glasses are available at EuroGlazing and constitute our premium range. If you are looking for long term cost savings, Low-e glass (low-e = low emissivity) is more cost effective than standard glass. Longevity Glass windows of 6-8mm thickness are better insulators than both thinner glass and acrylic or PVC. Glass is also much stronger and scratch resistant and does not discolour or go cloudy with age. There are no aluminium or uPVC frames to warp, shrink, corrode or need painting. Energy Savings The installed seal made out of a specialist 3M tape with low thermal conductivity, creates the air-tight seal when both the inner and outer windows are closed. This provides insulation, saves energy, thus saving you money and also contributes to a low carbon environment.
