Double Glazing
Double glazed windows are highly efficient, reducing your heat loss or gain by up to 30% compared to single-pane windows. Double glazing is two pieces of glass which are separated by an air gap which is sealed and acts as a break between the inside and outside pieces of glass.
The air gap is filled with argon gas which increases the insulation between the glass pieces. Up to 40% of a home's heating energy can be lost and up to 87% of its heat gained through windows, so improving the thermal performance will increase your home's comfort and reduce energy consumption.
The thermal performance of a window depends on how well the glass and frame conduct heat (U value) and how well the glass and frame transmit heat from direct sunlight.
Benefits of Double Glazing
Reduce Heat Loss/Gain by 30%
Maintain consistent temperatures year-round with superior thermal performance
Lower Energy Bills
Save on heating and cooling costs every season with efficient glazing
Noise Reduction
Significantly reduce external noise for a peaceful home environment
Enhanced Security
Toughened safety glass improves home security and safety
Reduced Condensation
Less condensation on windows prevents mould formation
UV Protection
Protects furniture, carpet and curtains from fading
Optimized for Canberra's Climate
ACT Climate Requirements
The ACT falls within "climate zone" 7 and 8 (as per the Australian Building Codes Board), which are considered heating climates, requiring windows with specific performance characteristics.
- Low U-value for better insulation
- High Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
- Capture free heat from the sun
Low E Glass Technology
LowE glass is most suitable for colder climates with maximum visible light, passive heat gain and excellent insulation.
LowE glass has a transparent low emissivity coating that reflects heat while still allowing in maximum light, helping keep your home comfortable year-round.
Retrofit vs Replacement Windows
At Just Rite, we assess your current windows to determine whether to retrofit double glazing into existing frames or replace windows altogether.
Retrofit Double Glazing
Upgrade your existing frames with modern double glazing

Window Replacement
Replace your windows for a new modern look
Full Window Replacement
Full replacement of window (frame and glass) for more modern look
Improved Thermal Performance
Upgrading your windows boosts insulation, reduces heat loss, and keeps your home more comfortable year-round while lowering energy costs.
UPVC / Thermally Broken Upgrade
Upgrade to UPVC or thermally broken framed windows for superior performance
