What is an alternative to double glazing Perth?
The only two alternatives to double glazing Perth are triple glazing (increased cost) and thermal curtains. As the name suggests, triple glazing uses three glass panes instead of one, tripe glazing is not cost effective at this time and doesn’t have the same improvement percentage increase as double glazing.

Thermal curtains are just like regular curtains that come with an extra layer of special lining that assist to stopping excess heat and cold. However, unlike the efficiency of double glazed doors and windows that work better it’s also not efficient in reducing noise or protecting your house.

Will you come and check our measurements?
Absolutely! For a quote we are more than happy to work off of rough measurements, however once you are ready to go ahead and you have paid your deposit. We assign you an installation supervisor who takes his own measurements to put into production. The reason for this, is every installer likes slightly different measurements (usually varies by a few mm), this ensures that each job is finished to the highest standard possible and prior to handover is checked by the area manager to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.
I don’t know how to measure my window. Will you help?

We are more than happy to organise a time to come out, meet with yourself and provide an consultation via our obligation free measure and quote. You can also book this right now through our website.
What frame do you use for your double glazing?
We use a UPVC product called Kommerling. We use UPVC over a traditional West Australian aluminium frame as aluminium is a thermal and acoustic conductor. Which detracts from the benefits of double glazing. UPVC and Kommerling frames in particular will assist your double glazing in thermal insulation and acoustic reduction.
Do UPVC frames wear in the Australian Climate?
At Climateframe we ensure we specify from Kommerling what is known as a “tropical blend”. A tropical blend has titanium dioxide in the UPVC mix prior to extrusion, this ensures no warping and discolouration. For a sample of a Kommerling double glazing frame don’t hesitate to reach out and request one. We can come and bring one to your measure and quote or you are most welcome to pop by and grab a sample for yourself.
Are double glazed windows worth it in Australia?

Absolutely! Windows with double glazing are impressively effective, curbing your heat dispersion or absorption by nearly 30% relative to single-glazed windows. The functionality of double glazing can be likened to woolen garments or fiberglass insulation, as it contains air between its two panels.

Are double glazed doors worth it?

In short, yes. Approximately 50% of heat dissipation in winter and almost 90% of heat accumulation in summer are believed to originate from windows and doors. The distinctive structure of double-glazed items offers up to quadruple the insulation against temperature extremes compared to their single-glazed counterparts.

Is it worth installing double glazing?

It is definitely worth it! No matter your circumstances, substituting a single-glazed window with a double-glazed one will instantly bring about a reduction in your energy bills.
