Have you heard about double glazing<\/a> but have shrugged it off as a feature typically used for houses in colder climates? It\u2019s time to debunk this myth. Double glazed windows are perfect for Queensland homes because they\u2019re just as efficient at keeping heat out in summer as they are at maintaining a cozy house in winter. In this article, we\u2019re going to give it to you straight: how double glazing works, the benefits of double glazed windows<\/a> and why Queensland homeowners should combine these window systems with uPVC frames<\/a> for the best results!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double glazed windows are different from your ordinary, run-of-the-mill windows in a typical Aussie home. Instead of having a single pane of glass \u2013 yep, you guessed it \u2013 they have two. These two glass panels are separated by a gap called a spacer bar, which can be filled with inert gas or used to create a vacuum between the panes. Whatever the nature of the gap, its purpose is to slow down the transfer of heat into the home<\/a> in summer, keeping the inside of your house cool and comfortable. Double glazed windows are even more effective at stopping heat transfer into your property when shaded by roller shutters or outdoor sails that prevent the sun from beating directly onto the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why install uPVC window frames?<\/gwmw><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

uPVC window frames<\/a> may be a house feature that you haven\u2019t heard of. But they are a great compliment to double glazed windows when it comes to energy efficiency in your home and keeping the Brisbane heat at bay. Typically, windows in Australian houses are framed with aluminium<\/a>, but aluminium is a very effective conductor of heat. So it\u2019s only adding more heat to your home, adding to your home feeling like a big furnace during Summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, uPVC is a very sturdy type of plastic which does not conduct heat<\/a>, and which has outstanding insulative qualities. uPVC window frames ensure that all that good work your double glazed windows are doing \u2013 keeping the heat out of your home \u2013 is not impeded. With uPVC windows, no hot air is infiltrating your house because there are absolutely no gaps in the window frames that it can sneak through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are uPVC double glazed windows perfect for Queensland homes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
