Renovating your house can be a daunting task, but we are here to help!
Your windows and doors are most likely one of the major contributors to thermal loss and gain in your home, leading to higher energy use and lower comfort levels. So it makes sense to consider replacing your windows and doors and installing double glazing.
However, not all double glazing is made equal. There are many options out there and it is important that you do your research to ensure you are getting the best bang for your buck.
uPVC is the best material to house double glazed glass units for a number of reasons, so its not surprising that it is the most widespread window and door profile product in use worldwide.
uPVC has great thermal and insulting properties as it does not conduct heat like aluminium does. There is not much point putting a nice double glazed glass unit inside a metal frame that itself conducts heat into and out of your home.
uPVC is also a very stable material and has limited expansion and contraction with temperature change, unlike traditional timber and aluminium frames. This means that your double glazed glass unit is held securely, so the two panes of glass have less movement relative to each other, reducing the chance of leaking and breaking.
Combine these two benefits with low maintenance, weather resistance (including salt air), high noise reduction and a host of other benefits, uPVC is a smart choice in modern building.
Our uPVC windows and doors are all custom measured and made to suit your home. We can retain the style of your original windows to preserve the character and charm of your home, or redesign them with a fresh modern look.
Our qualified installers have a solid background in the building industry, so regardless of your building type, be it weatherboard, brick or something else, we have the knowledge to make the experience of replacing or fixing your double glazed windows as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

When refurbishing a property, it is tempting sometimes to take the cheapest option with a make-do-and-mend approach.
Sometimes patching up can work but often you’re just delaying the inevitable and the better option would be to bite the bullet and get the job done from scratch. This can certainly be true of windows because they are such a fundamental part of a building. Get the windows wrong and you jeopardise the whole project. One example is double-glazing existing windows. While this option can be a quick fix you will miss out on all the benefits modern uPVC window frames have to offer. If your chosen replacement windows are double glazed, – and in this day and age, especially in Melbourne, they should be – getting it right can ensure the future stability and integrity of your home, and that affects its resale value. If you plan to keep the property long-term, getting the right windows can save you a fortune in heating or aircon bills, and if you’re planning to sell in the not-too-distant future, you don’t want prospective buyers looking at the windows and seeing that they will need to be replaced. Either way, double glazed window replacement in Melbourne should be undertaken as a priority and custom made uPVC windows are the way to go.
Here in Melbourne, the climate is not as predictable as in other parts of the country and there are times in this fine place when you’re trying to keep the cold out and the heat in. To replace windows with double glazing is the only sensible thing to do and will therefore soon be stipulated by the national construction code. In addition to saving money, it’s all part of preserving the planet’s resources, because running an energy-efficient building is now a responsibility any good citizen must accept and double glazed entry doors and windows are the first step.
Protecting your investment is a fashionable phrase that applies in many spheres of life, and for most people, the biggest, most important investment is in bricks and mortar. Whatever else happens in our life, having your real estate is sitting there in good condition, can be the foundation that keeps everything stable. We can live in it, work in it, rent it out and live off the income or borrow against it for something else we need or want. Double-glazed window replacement in Melbourne is a key element in our stability because it’s a crucial part of the health of the property itself. Windows affect the ambience and the structural integrity of the building. We’ve got to keep the elements out, keep the place dry and maintain the temperature inside to keep everything in good condition.
It is therefore crucial to have good quality replacement double-glazed windows like the ones offered at Thermal Double Glazing.
If you bought this house because you liked it, but there was one glaring fault – the windows – the answer is simple: replace them.
