Glazing
Australians' love big windows and great views – but glass gives the worst possible thermal value and is only one small step above having a completely open window.
Fortunately in recent times, major glass manufacturers have produced huge improvements in glass technology and now can provide a wide range of energy sensitive glazing solutions.
Many of those solutions can be retro fitted without making any change to the window frame structure. Others such as double glazing are a more complex solution. Another option is window films which have come a long way in recent years offering long term affordable solutions.
The following companies can provide you with advice and quotations:-

DIY Magnetic Double Glazing
DIY magnetic double glazing is inexpensive, easy to install & easy to maintain. Magnetic double glazing can be fitted to almost any surface.
Reduces Noise - Double glazing using 3mm acrylic can reduce noise levels by up to 38 decibels. The greater the gap between the window and the acrylic, the greater noise reduction.
Saves Energy - The walls and roofs of our homes are very efficient at maintaining consistent temperatures within the house. It's our glassed areas that let us down. Double glazing the windows will keep the temperature more consistent, reducing the need for heat in winter and cooling in summer.

Aneeta Windows
To cut out the suns rays Aneeta Windows can offer special tinted glass such as grey tint, evergreen, or comfort-plus glass (cooling stars).
To keep a house warm Aneeta can offer double glazing (their standard is 4mm glass / 8mm airspace / 4mm glass). Double glazing can also have clear or tinted glass or low-e glass (very high performance) and the airspace can either be filled with air or to give even better performance argon gas can be used (heating stars).
Aneeta has many different models to offer to help improve a buildings overall star rating.
• Single Glazed versions that will give a 3½ star rating for cooling and a 2½ star for heating.
• Double Glazed versions that will give a 4 star rating for cooling and a 4½ star for heating.
NOTE - a house can still achieve a 5 star rating with only 1 star rated windows installed, so our products above 1 star are an aid to designers / builders and consumers alike to achieve both the regulatory requirements and to create a more comfortable living environment.
You can access Aneeta windows WERS results through the attached PDF download.

3M Sun Control Films save energy, as well as helping to protect your furnishings, drapes, carpet, woodwork and artwork from destructive ultraviolet rays that cause fading. 3M Safety and Security Films provide fragment retention by holding glass together during destructive weather, smash and grab crimes or acts of terrorism.

3M introduces the new Prestige Series, a unique collection of window films with superior heat rejection, no-metal technology, low reflectivity, and a warranty backed by one of the world's most respected companies. Prestige window films mark a departure from traditional window films because they are transparent and not dark or shiny, thus they do not change the interior or exterior appearance of your home or building. Other clear window films on the market are constructed using metal, which has a tendency to corrode in coastal environments as well as the potential to interfere with cell-phones and other wireless devices.
