Double Glazing: Upgrade Your Windows, Upgrade Your Life (and Home Value)
Stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and quieter all year round. Double glazing is the smart improvement your home needs – and we’re experts at it.
What is Double Glazing?
If you’ve heard the term but never been quite sure, here’s the simple version:
Double glazing means two panes of glass separated by a layer of air (or argon gas). That space acts like insulation, reducing the transfer of heat, sound, and condensation. Think of it as a protective barrier that makes your home more comfortable, efficient, and secure.
Why Double Glazing Matters in Canberra
Canberra has frosty winters and scorching summers. Standard single-pane windows lose (or gain) a lot of heat – meaning higher power bills and uncomfortable rooms. Double glazing:
- Cuts heat loss by up to 50% in winter
- Keeps heat out during summer so your home stays cool
- Makes homes quieter by blocking outside noise
- Reduces condensation and mold risk in colder months
It’s no wonder most new homes in Canberra are built with double glazing – but older homes can benefit just as much from a retrofit.
The Benefits of Double Glazing
- Energy Savings – Lower heating and cooling costs all year round.
- Comfort – Say goodbye to cold drafts and hot spots near windows.
- Noise Reduction – Great for homes near busy roads or noisy neighbours.
- Condensation Control – Prevents moisture build-up on glass, reducing mold.
- Security – Two layers of glass are harder to break, boosting safety.
- Market Appeal – Energy-efficient homes sell faster and at higher prices.
How YPP Delivers Double Glazing
At Your Property Profits, we:
- Retrofit into existing frames (if they’re solid), or install brand new windows if needed.
- Offer frame choices – timber, aluminium, or modern composites to suit your home’s style.
- Measure and install precisely for a snug, draft-free finish.
- Coordinate with rebates/incentives where available, making the upgrade even more affordable.
And the best part? If you’re renovating to sell with YPP, you don’t pay a cent upfront – the cost comes from settlement, not your pocket.
What Does Double Glazing Cost?
We believe in transparency:
- Double glazing typically costs from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars per window, depending on size and style.
- But it’s not just a cost – it’s an investment. You’ll enjoy lower power bills, more comfort, and a strong selling point when it’s time to move.
💡 Tip: In Canberra, a strong Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) can be a big selling factor. Double glazing helps boost that score.
Real-World Example
A 1970s home in the ACT had old single-glazed windows. We installed double glazing throughout. The owners immediately noticed:
- The home stayed warmer with the heater running less often.
- Outside traffic noise dropped significantly.
- The property was marketed as “fully double-glazed,” which buyers valued highly.
The result? The home sold faster – and for more than expected – with “energy-efficient comfort” highlighted as a key selling point.
Ready to Make the Upgrade?
Your windows are more than glass – they’re the comfort barrier between you and the outside world. Double glazing pays you back in comfort, energy savings, and resale value.
