THE kitchen has long been called the heart of the home and a substantial amount of time is spent there every day.
Modern kitchens have become more than just a place to cook – they have become an integral living space for entertaining, conversation and even school homework.
It makes sense to ensure that the area where the family spends a lot of time is comfortable and liveable. There’s nothing worse than a kitchen that is freezing in winter and hot during the sweltering Queensland summer. The solution? Double glazing.
Double glazing windows two panes of glass with an air gap in the middle and a specialised frame.
The frame, extra glass and air pocket create an insulating layer between the inside and outside of the window or door.
Standard windows with an ordinary frame and one pane of glass account for a whopping 87 per cent of the heat gained during summer and up to 49 per cent of the heat lost during winter in an average home.
Double glazed windows and doors can keep homes 40 per cent cooler in summer, 32 per cent warmer in winter and can increase thermal resistance by up to 94 per cent which not only keeps residents comfortable but saves money on heating and cooling bills.
They are custom made with uPVC or specialised aluminium frames that are non-corrosive, low maintenance and environmentally friendly.
And, most importantly, they will keep the most cherished part of the home at optimum conditions for comfort and liveability.
