Retrofitting your existing windows with double glazing is a great way to improve your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and value—without the need for major renovations. Here at North Shore Double Glazing, we are a small family business in Perth specialising in installing high-quality uPVC double-glazed windows and doors into existing homes, offering a seamless process from consultation to installation. With over 40 years experience in double glazing, you can trust North Shore to take care of you and your home.
Whether you’re looking to reduce noise, enhance insulation, or upgrade to a modern, durable window solution, here’s a step-by-step guide to how we retrofit homes with our Kommerling double-glazed windows, a German-designed, energy-efficient system filled with argon gas for optimal performance.
Why Retrofit Your Windows with Double Glazing?
Before diving into the process, let’s explore why retrofitting double glazing is a smart investment for Perth homeowners:
Improved Energy Efficiency: Double glazing significantly reduces heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This helps you save on heating and cooling bills.
Noise Reduction: Perfect for homes in busy areas, double glazing helps block out external noise for a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
Enhanced Security: Our uPVC frames and toughened glass options make it harder for intruders to break in.
Increased Property Value: Energy-efficient and modern double-glazed windows are a great selling point for potential buyers.
Reduced Condensation & UV Protection: Keeps your windows clear and protects your furniture from fading due to harsh sunlight.
