For noise reduction, the larger air gap associated with the secondary glazing system can deliver up to 70% noise reduction through your existing window. This will have you sleeping like a baby all year round.<\/p>\n<h1>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maintain aesthetic of your home exterior<\/h1>\n<p>For heritage\/ period or strata homes, retrofitting with secondary glazing retains the existing windows and aesthetic character of the building exterior. This allows the heritage windows to be featured, accentuating the historic look and feel of your heritage home. For strata buildings, secondary glazing allows the owner to enhance acoustic and thermal insulation without any structural changes or changing the look of the building from the outside, a key concern of most strata managers.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>3. Reduce costs without adding to landfill<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Retrofitting with a secondary glazing system is a more affordable alternative than a full replacement. This also means that the existing windows are not taking up room in overflowing landfills. Reduced heating and cooling loads will also provide returns through energy savings and make your home thermally comfortable all year round. Save money and the environment by retrofitting your windows with secondary glazing solutions.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Join the <strong>Home Show Club<\/strong>\u00a0and you&#8217;ll be the very first to receive more stories like this, free tickets, special offers, inspiration and more!<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #518e90\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brisbanehomeshow.com.au\/subscribe\/\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">Brisbane<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.melbournehomeshow.com.au\/subscribe\/\"><span style=\"color: #ec456c\">Melbourne<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900\" href=\"http:\/\/www.perthhomeshow.com.au\/subscribe\/\">Perth<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneyhomeshow.com.au\/subscribe\/\"><span style=\"color: #76cac5\">Sydney<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Replacing windows in existing homes can be a hassle, especially for heritage or strata homes.
