What is double glazing?

Glazing refers to the glass and frames in window and even skylights. This type of glass has a significant effect on thermal performance. For example, up to 40% of a home’s heating energy can be lost and up to 87% of its heat gained through standard windows. Improving the thermal performance of your home’s glazing will improve comfort, reduce energy consumption and lower energy costs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had two new bathroom windows designed and installed both beautifully done and very pleased but also exceptionally pleased with ability of Winplex to be able to install flawlessly inside a tight time frame working in cooperation with the company renovating the bathrooms. Work completed in a half day without disrupting main job nor need for any external scaffolding access to first floor. Installer Jared was so friendly and professional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I have an apartment overlooking the Bay at St Kilda. It is 1959 vintage and the main picture window was very shabby. In our research Winplex windows stood out in the presentation of its product. The quote was very professional and we also felt a personal touch as Jerry Pantelios had local connections with the famous Jerry’s milk bar. Jerry suggested that we have a fixed window to maximise our stunning view. This proved to be great advice. He emphasised the quality of the German materials and this was the decider in accepting the quote. We also committed to a security door and the total price was surprisingly reasonable. The removal of the old window and new installation was not easy, but the installer did a brilliant job. The final finish exceeded our expectations and we could not believe how the window improved the view of the bay. The door installation also proved to be more complex than originally thought given the nature fixing to old concrete. The installer once again persevered and gave a great result. We are so pleased with the whole process from beginning to end and would recommend Winplex to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t praise this team enough. They were very dynamic to quote, measure on site and the installation went ahead of schedule despite being a very challenging job. The team works very well together and they support each other making it pain free. In very short time my home  became 40% more thermal efficient than with the old aluminium ones, and with total noise insulation. The windows have elevated the whole house. I knew this technology from Europe but when you buy these windows in Australia is critical to find an experienced vendor with a great installation team. I chose them for those two factors and I did not regretted it. It is also a great advantage to be able to see their showroom to make a decision regarding if they are what you want for your place. When I did my research and collected quotes, they came very close to top of the range aluminium traditional windows but these ones not only look much more solid but their performance is far superior so the $2k difference became un important. Also I can clean them safely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed to replace an existing door with a window.  We opted to go with Winplex's Tilt and Turn product as it gave us the best of both worlds, a door AND a window!  It's just been installed and we couldn't be happier.  A nice clean job, the installer filled all the nail holes in the new architrave and siliconed around the door - and the hardware looks good and feels high quality.  Communication was good and the installation carried out on time.  Happy to recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Winplex Windows. The quality of the windows is excellent, the tradespeople who installed them were exceptional. They were professional, considerate of my home, worked cleanly, and left everything spotless when they finished. It's not often these days that you find both a high quality product and such outstanding tradespeople. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Winplex overall has been incredibly positive. Right from our first meeting with Harry through the many changes of mind as we arrived at a great solution at an attractive price. When it came to installation we were really impressed with the way the team worked over two days. When they left all the old windows were gone and the house was spotless inside and out. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so happy I went with Winplex. They installed a 3 part sliding door and it makes my living room so quiet, the difference is night and day. Very solid construction, very thick glass and the team even insulated a cavity above the sliding doors with sound proofing material. Price was great, especially compared to competitors and the men who installed it were fantastic. If you’re thinking about which company to use, go Winplex !

Components of high quality double glazed windows

Our standard glass option is 2 layers of 4mm toughened glass with argon gas and low-E / U value of about 1.9.

All profiles are designed in Germany using Aluplast – one of the highest quality window frames known on the market. It’s engineered to give you the highest level of comfort. No other window profile comes close to the shelf life of the Aluplast product in Australian conditions, especially in coloured frames. This means, you won’t get discoloration over time with Aluplast versus aluminum.

The importance of frames

Having the right window and door frame is very important and will increase the benefits of double glazed windows. Winplex uses German-manufactured uPVC for all of our window and door frames.

UPVC is low-conductive compared with other materials, like aluminium, meaning that you’ll experience less heat transfer through windows. Window and door frames made with uPVC is perfect for homeowners who want to not only increase insulation but also reduce costs on cooling & heating bills.

Also, uPVC coating also protects against UV rays, so your frame will stay looking good even with prolonged sun exposure. Also, unlike traditional Timber frames, you won’t have to worry about it chipping or cracking due to weather.

uPVC Comparison with Aluminium and Timber

uPVC vs. Aluminium

Aluminum is a high conductor of heat and cold. This is to say that they aren’t energy efficient. Also, older aluminium windows gradually experience oxidation. On top of that, aluminium tends to contract and expand with changes in temperature, making them more likely than uPVC to experience seal failures over time due to cracks or splits between panels.

uPVC vs. Timber

Prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV rays), high winds and constant rain will cause timber frames to gradually lose their natural colour and turn grey. The durability and longevity of uPVC windows make them a popular choice for homes that are located in regions with extreme weather, such as extensive sun exposure, rain and/or wind.

uPVC

Heat Insulation

uPVC is a poor conductor of heat, meaning it provides excellent heat insulation.

Corrosion Resistance

uPVC does not rot or corrode over time.

Termite Resistance

uPVC is not prone to termite infestations.

Fade Resistance

uPVC frames do not fade, even in extreme direct sunlight.

Fire Resistance

uPVC material is self-extinguishing once a flame is removed, meaning it has excellent fire resistance.

Maintenance

uPVC window frames require no maintenance apart from occasional cleaning.

Noise Reduction

uPVC windows offer up to 90% noise reduction.

ALUMINIUM

Heat Insulation

Aluminium is a good heat conductor, meaning it allows heat to pass through easily, so is a poor heat insulator.

Corrosion Resistance

Aluminium is susceptible to rusting and corrosion over time.

Termite Resistance

Aluminium is not prone to termite infestations.

Fade Resistance

Aluminium window frames don’t typically fade, but can sometimes become discoloured over time, depending on the material used to coat them.

Fire Resistance

Aluminium has a high melting point, meaning it has good fire resistance.

Maintenance

Aluminium window frames need sporadic maintenance over long periods of time.

Noise Reduction

Aluminium window frames offer varying levels of noise reduction.

TIMBER

Heat Insulation

Wood is a poor heat conductor, so gives good heat insulation. However, with contraction and expansion over time, heat will begin to seep out.

Corrosion Resistance

Timber tends to rot over time, especially if not treated correctly.

Termite Resistance

Timber can attract termites which weaken and corrode the wood over time.

Fade Resistance

Wooden window frames fade quickly and need regular treatment to prevent this happening.

Fire Resistance

Timber catches fire and burns easily.

Maintenance

Timber window frames require regular treatment and painting in order to withstand the elements.

Noise Reduction

Timber window frames can warp and drastically increase noise levels.

How do you make your double glazed windows secure?

All of our uPVC double glazed windows are designed and built with security in mind.
Double glazing offers greater security than single glazing by nature. This is due to the fact that there are 2 panes of glass, thus making it harder to break. All our secure windows also feature the industry-leading multi-locking systems.

Should double glazed windows get condensation?

Condensation on the outside of new double glazed windows is not unusual; in fact, it’s perfectly normal. What happens when this occurs? The window blocks heat from inside your home reaching its exterior thus causing a coolant effect and leading to condensation formation at those locations where there are no insulation materials between you and nature’s elements such as cold winds or harsh sunlight.

Is triple glazing my best option in terms of soundproofing?

Unfortunately, no. Triple glazed windows are designed to increase heat saving and do not increase soundproofing. Double glazed windows are sufficient enough for soundproofing your home from outside noise.

What is the best option for double glazed - toughened glass or laminated glass?

Toughened glass and Laminated glass in double glazed windows and doors are types of “safety” glass. It is a common misconception that toughened glass, due to its name, adds strength or “toughness”, and it’s capable of withstanding considerable force or impact. However, toughened glass is not the same as bulletproof glass. Toughened glass is safer to break than float glass as it will not break into sharp, dangerous blades, but rather into small, blunt pieces that will not slice or cut in an accident.

Laminated glass will crack when it’s met with force, but it’s unlikely to smash because of a thin layer of laminate that will hold the broken glass together. Keep in mind though that it can be dangerous in a situation where you may need to break glass to escape, such as a fire..
