Double Glazing in Perth
Perth runs hot, bright and, near the freeways and flight paths, loud. A single pane of glass does almost nothing about any of it.
Double glazing puts two panes and an insulating gas gap between your home and the outside, so it stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter and a lot quieter year round.

Double glazing built for a Perth climate
We do not push double glazing on every job. Where it earns its money in Perth is west and north-facing rooms that cook in summer, and homes near roads, rail or the flight path.
When it fits, the difference is the kind you feel the first afternoon, in a room that used to be unusable by 3pm.
What it actually tackles
- Afternoon heat in west-facing rooms
- Glare and fading on floors and furniture
- Road, rail and aircraft noise
- Cold rooms in a Perth winter
- Condensation on the glass
- Energy bills from constant cooling
We start by asking what you are actually trying to fix, heat, glare, noise or all three. Then we spec the glass to that goal and your budget, rather than over-selling you the dearest unit for a problem you do not have.
Backed for 10 years
Sealed double-glazed units come with a 10-year warranty from our suppliers, on top of our 12-month workmanship guarantee. It is a real investment in the home, so it is backed like one.

How a double-glazed unit actually works
Low-E
Argon-filled units
A double-glazed unit is two panes of glass sealed together with a gap between them, and that gap is the whole trick. It slows the heat trying to get in or out.
What's in the unit
- Two panes of glass
- An argon-filled gap
- A low-E heat-reflective coating
- A sealed, warm-edge spacer
Get the unit spec right for the orientation of the room, and that is where the real-world result comes from.
Low-E and argon, in plain terms
The gap is filled with argon, a gas that insulates better than air, and the glass carries a near-invisible low-E coating that reflects heat. Together they cut the heat coming through a window dramatically, without making the room dark.

The qualified difference
Glazing is not a licensed trade in WA, so anyone can have a crack at it, and plenty turn up with no ticket at all. We turn up with the lot, 15 years on the tools and every job glazed to Australian Standard AS 1288.

What you notice once it's in
The technical stuff matters, but this is what you actually live with day to day.
Cooler summers
West-facing rooms that used to be furnaces by mid-afternoon stay liveable, and the air-con stops working overtime.
Warmer winters
Less heat escapes through the glass, so rooms hold their warmth and feel less draughty on a cold morning.
A quieter home
The gap dampens sound, so road, rail and aircraft noise drops to a level you stop noticing.
Less condensation
The inner pane stays closer to room temperature, so you get far less of that morning fog and the mould that follows it.
Most people say the noise and the afternoon heat are the two they notice first.
Retrofit or new units, which suits your home
You do not always have to rip out the whole window. There are two honest paths, and which one fits depends on your existing frames.
Retrofit double glazing
- Keeps your existing frames where they're sound
- Less disruption and lower cost
- Great for solid timber and alloy frames
- Quick turnaround on most homes
New double-glazed units
- Whole new frame plus the sealed unit
- Best when frames are old or failing
- Latest seals, hardware and thermal break
- The full-performance option
Get a qualified glazier on it
We will look at your frames and tell you straight which one is worth your money, not just the dearer option.
What double glazing costs in Perth
Double glazing is an investment, not a five-minute repair, so the price moves with the job. Here is what drives it.
Number and size of windows
A single problem window is a very different quote to doing the whole western side of a house.
Retrofit vs new units
Keeping sound frames and retrofitting is cheaper than full new window units.
Glass spec
Standard, low-E or acoustic-rated glass, matched to whether you are fighting heat, glare or noise.
Access and floor level
Ground-floor windows are quick. Upstairs or hard-to-reach openings take longer.
Frame material
Timber, aluminium and uPVC all fit differently and carry different costs.
We measure, talk you through the realistic payback for your home, and quote up front. No pressure to over-spec it.
Measured right. Cut right. Glazed right.
Measured right
On-site laser measure to a 2-3mm tolerance, and the right glass picked for the job and the standard, not guesswork.
Cut right
Float, toughened or laminated, cut to size with polished edges. We carry stock sheets so most repairs are done on the spot.
Glazed right
Installed clean, sealed properly and made safe. Glazed to AS 1288, signed off and tidied up before we leave.

Questions about double glazing
Can't see yours? Call us and we will give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Is double glazing actually worth it in Perth?
In the right rooms, yes. West and north-facing rooms that overheat, and homes near roads, rail or the flight path, get the biggest gain. We will tell you honestly where it pays off and where a single window is fine.
Can you retrofit double glazing to my existing windows?
Often, yes. If your frames are sound we can retrofit double-glazed units and keep the frames, which is cheaper and less disruptive than full replacement. We check the frames on the measure.
Does double glazing cut noise?
Noticeably. The sealed gap dampens sound, and acoustic-rated glass takes it further. It is one of the first things people mention near busy roads and under the flight path.
Will it stop condensation?
It greatly reduces it. The inner pane stays closer to room temperature, so you get far less of the morning fog and the mould problems that come with it.
What is low-E glass and argon gas?
Low-E is a near-invisible coating that reflects heat, and argon is an insulating gas in the gap between the panes. Together they cut heat transfer without darkening the room.
How much does double glazing cost?
It depends on the number and size of windows, the glass spec, and whether you retrofit or replace the frames. We measure and quote up front, and we will tell you the realistic payback rather than over-speccing it.
