What is retrofit?

• Retrofitting is the process of upgrading your single glazing to new double glazing.
• Choosing to retrofit can help you save on your renovation budget. Instead of completely replacing your window which can be expensive, we replace your existing single glazed glass with a new factory sealed energy efficient double glazed unit, making retrofit a more affordable choice.
• Our process involves making minor adjustments to the frame (such as a new aluminium or timber bead) to account for the new double glazed unit. The aesthetics look virtually the same allowing you to retain the character of your home.
• Our double glazed units are factory sealed and then installed onsite. We do not use your existing glass. The process is relatively quick and hassle-free, leaving you to enjoy the comforts of your new double glazing.
• You can combine our high performance Low E technology with your double glazing for the ultimate energy efficient solution. This means there is less need for heating and cooling appliances, helping you reduce energy consumption and power bills.
  For example, with our advanced Low E technology you can get up to 79%* better heat retention compared to single glazing, keeping your home warmer and drier in winter.
  If you live in areas prone to overheating in the hot summer months we have solar control glass options that can reduce up to 74%* of the sun's heat, helping keep your home cooler in summer.
• Other lower-cost alternatives may be confused with Retrofit double glazing. Retrofit double glazing is a permanent replacement for single glazing, not a “clip-on” addition. It is a factory-sealed double glazed unit (as would be used in a new builds), fitted into your existing frames. Unlike a clip-on solution, our double glazed units are purpose-built and able to be tailored for each individual homes needs
