Canberra’s crisp winters demand more than just funky, woolly jumpers and electric blankets! They require smart, energy-efficient solutions and specialist glass window installation to keep your Canberra home consistently warm and your energy bills in check.
Luckily, our team specialises in high-performance aluminium and double-glazed windows tailored for the Canberra climate.
Do Energy-Efficient Windows Make a Difference?
Windows are often the weakest link in a building’s thermal envelope. In fact, they can account for up to 30% of a home’s heat loss during winter. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows, such as double or triple glazing, significantly reduces this heat loss, leading to lower heating costs and enhanced indoor comfort.
The Science Behind Your Energy-Efficient Windows
Double-glazed windows boast two sheets of glass, separated by a little gap filled with air or a special gas like argon. Think of it as a tiny, invisible thermal barrier, which acts like a bouncer: keeping the heat inside when it’s chilly out and outside when the sun’s blazing. No more shivering in winter or sweating heaps in summer!
Additionally, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings on the glass reflect heat back into the room, further improving thermal efficiency.
Installation: The Key to Performance
You can have the fanciest, most energy-efficient windows on the market, but if they’re not installed properly, they simply won’t do their job. A sloppy installation can lead to drafts, heat leaks and even water sneaking into your home, which can mess with your comfort and damage your property.
That’s where Supaglass Industries comes in. We’re all about precise glass window installations in Canberra, making sure every window performs exactly as it should. We’ve got a tried-and-true method and use only the best materials to guarantee top results:
- Measurement and Fitment
Before installation, our team carefully measures the window opening to ensure a snug, precise fit. We also ensure the frame is level and square to avoid any distortion in the window’s structure. - High-Quality Sealants and Insulation
To prevent heat transfer and water infiltration, we use premium-grade sealants and insulating materials around the window frame. - High-Performance Frames
We use only the most durable and thermally efficient frames made from aluminium with a thermal break. The thermal break reduces heat transfer between the outside and inside of the building, ensuring that the window frame doesn’t act as a source of heat loss. Additionally, weather-resistant gaskets are installed to improve the overall air-tightness of the window. - Professional Installation Techniques
Our installers are experts in structural bonding techniques, ensuring that the window is securely attached to the building frame. We use mechanical fasteners and high-quality adhesive bonding systems, creating a stable, secure window installation that won’t shift or loosen over time. - Thorough Testing and Final Checks
After installation, we conduct thorough testing (like air pressure and water ingress tests) to ensure the window’s performance. We also double-check the window’s operation, making sure it opens and closes smoothly without any resistance or misalignment. - Long-Lasting Weatherproofing
Finally, our team applies weatherproofing measures around the perimeter of the window to provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.
What’s The Smart Decision?
Investing in energy-efficient windows is a smart choice for Canberra homeowners looking to up their comfort and reduce energy costs during these cold winter months.
