Kingswood 2747 sits alongside Nepean Hospital and student housing off Second Avenue, and the traffic and shift-work noise never really stops. Double glazed windows Kingswood residents ask for are usually acoustic-focused: laminated outer glass, low-e inner, argon fill for the western elevations.
How we spec Double Glazed Windows Kingswood installs
For double glazed windows Kingswood residents want, acoustic performance drives the spec because of the hospital traffic and student housing. A 6.38 mm laminated outer with argon fill and a low-e inner is our default upgrade. Every double glazed windows quote we send includes WERS numbers and a room-by-room breakdown of the IGU makeup.
Turnaround from quote to install
From accepted quote to install day is usually four to six weeks for a standard house of ten to fifteen openings. IGUs are lead-time driven: standard clear/low-e is around ten working days, laminated acoustic makeups add another week.
Thermal and acoustic performance
A properly made double-glazed window drops heat transfer by around 50 percent versus single glazing on the same aspect, and cuts perceived noise by 8 to 15 decibels depending on the outer laminated pane. Argon or krypton gas fill in the cavity, combined with a low-e coating, is what does most of the thermal work.
- Insulated glazing units built in-house with 6 mm or 6.38 mm laminated outer glass on demand
- Low-e coatings and argon or krypton gas fill on standard IGU makeups
- Thermally broken aluminium and timber-composite frames for retrofit or new-build openings
- WERS-certified U-value and SHGC figures on every quote so you can compare on numbers
- Retrofit the IGU into your existing frame or replace the whole window as required
Panther Glass runs double-glazed windows across Kingswood 2747 around Nepean Hospital and the Western Sydney Uni campus, dispatched from our Jamisontown workshop. For acoustic upgrade options and WERS numbers, our Double-Glazed Windows page walks through the makeups. See the Kingswood area page for coverage, or ring 02 4722 2787.
Frequently asked questions
Will double glazing actually cut noise from a busy road?
Yes, if the outer pane is laminated. A 6.38 or 8.38 mm laminated outer with a 12 mm cavity and a 6 mm inner cuts perceived road noise by around 10 to 15 decibels versus single glazing. Argon fill helps a little too.
Can you keep my existing frames?
Sometimes. If the existing frame is thermally broken and structurally sound we can swap the IGU into it. Older single-glazed aluminium frames are often not suitable, and a full window replacement gives a better long-term result.
