Penrith 2750 gets hot summers off the river and cold, damp winters through the CBD and Panthers precinct, and single glazing is what makes homes noisy and expensive to run. Double glazed windows Penrith homeowners fit through us are IGU-built for real thermal and acoustic gain, not marketing.
How we spec Double Glazed Windows Penrith installs
For double glazed windows Penrith owners install through us, the IGU makeup is picked room by room. Western rooms cop the afternoon sun so we lean on low-e coatings and argon fill; roadside rooms near the Nepean Highway get a laminated outer for acoustic damping. Every double glazed windows quote lists the WERS-certified U-value and SHGC so you can compare on numbers.
Retrofit versus new-build glazing
On a retrofit we can either swap the IGU into your existing frame if it’s thermally broken and suitable, or replace the whole window with a new thermally broken aluminium or timber-composite unit. New builds are simpler: we spec the window from scratch to hit the BASIX target for the room.
Energy ratings and comfort
Every window we supply comes with a WERS certificate covering U-value and SHGC for that make-up, so you can compare energy performance directly against other quotes. On a whole-home retrofit customers typically report the biggest difference in the afternoons on west-facing rooms.
- 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 has been fitting double-glazed windows across Penrith 2750 since 1985, and we still dispatch every job from our own Jamisontown workshop just up the road. For WERS ratings, IGU options and pricing bands, our Double-Glazed Windows service page runs through the detail. Check the Penrith area page or book a home measure on 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.
