GlazingAccording to the Australian Government’s Your Home website, up to 40 per cent of a home’s heating energy can be lost and up to 87 per cent of its heat gained through windows. So choosing the right glazing for your external doors can not only make your home more comfortable naturally, but can have an impact on your power bills too.
Energy-efficient windows and doors come in a variety of forms, including double- and triple-glazed, and low-E glass.Double and triple glazing: Double-glazed windows and doors can reduce heat loss or gain by almost 30 per cent in comparison with single-pane aluminium windows. Triple-glazed styles perform even better, while being no thicker, heavier or more expensive than double-glazed ones. Triple-glazed styles are ideal for cold climates. See more contemporary bathrooms
