Conversations around energy costs and consumption are increasing, much like the cost of energy bills themselves. According to BUILD, Heating and cooling account for about 40% of the energy used in the average Australian home. Improving insulation and upgrading windows can significantly reduce these costs.
That’s where we come in.
Here at Ecovue, we’re committed to bringing the highest quality double glazed windows and doors to our customers in Sydney and surrounding areas. By retrofitting your windows and upgrading to double glazing, you will notice an immediate change to your home’s comfort – as well as a significant change in your energy usage and costs over time.
U-Values Explained
Certified Energy helps us by explaining U-values – what they mean, and, most importantly, how they relate to saving you money.
The U-value measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element. In Australia, U-values are calculated based on the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4859.1:2018, with lower U-values indicating better insulation.
In short, the lower the number, the better the performance. Homebuilding & Renovating lays this out as below, on average:
| Window Style | Typical U-value |
| Single Glazed | 5.8 W/m²K |
| Double Glazed | 1.8 to 3.0 W/m²K |
| Triple Glazed | 0.8 to 1.2 W/m²K​ |
It’s the jump from single glazing to double glazing that’s most noticeable – visually, emotionally and financially. Here at Ecovue, we’re all about making you feel more comfortable at home with your new windows and doors.
