A Healthier, Quieter Home With Classic Character – Ben and Astrid’s charming but ageing timber-framed home was struggling to keep the cold and moisture out. Black mould, draughts, and excessive condensation were affecting the comfort of the home, and worsening Astrid’s asthma. With traditional single glazing and deteriorated timber joinery, the home’s energy efficiency and livability were well below modern standards.

retroGLAZE® Insert Windows allowed the couple to retain the character of their original timber framing while eliminating air gaps, condensation, and heat loss. Thermally enhanced aluminium joinery and SuperTherm Warm™ low-e double glazing now deliver consistent warmth, eliminate draughts, and dramatically reduce pesky noise from outside.

Practical, Stylish Upgrades Throughout – The dated front door and French doors were replaced with modern, better-sealing thermally enhanced joinery, including a sliding door that opens onto their deck with ease and elegance. A digital lock and Etchlite privacy glass brought both style and functionality to the entranceway. With colour-matched hardware, tightly sealed windows, and improved airflow, the home is now warmer, drier, and noticeably quieter.

Ben and Astrid couldn’t be happier: “We’re over the moon with the outcome… friends and family have commented on how nice the windows look. If you’re on the fence, just do it!”
