TIMBER WINDOW RETROFIT • CANBERRA

Double glazing retrofit for suitable timber windows

Improve comfort while retaining more of the original timber character where the existing frames and sashes are structurally suitable for an insulated glass upgrade.

A targeted retrofit option, but not the right answer for every frame

A retrofit can work where timber is sound, sash depth and rebates can accommodate the glass unit, and retaining the existing appearance is important.

Assess timber condition and glazing rebates
Review balances, hinges, locks and seals
Select glass thickness and cavity for the frame
Consider draught sealing and water management
Review heritage or appearance constraints where relevant
