What is Retrofit Double Glazing?

How long will it take to Retrofit?
We will be able to Retrofit most homes in New Zealand in just one day. A typical home has 30 panes of glass in total and a team of Retrofit Double Glazing installers are fast and effecient. The most aspect of a Retrofit installation is the preperation before the installation takes place.
Are there different Glass Types?

What is the Cost of Retrofitting?
This is a question we get asked a lot! Retrofit double glazing costs can range from $350 per pane to $800. There are many factors that need to be considered by our team. Age of existing joinery, the type of glass required, whether scafolding is required, and of course, the size of your windows.
