Double Glazing Designed for Tauranga Homes
From older timber homes in established suburbs to properties with early aluminium joinery and newer builds, Tauranga has a wide variety of homes and window styles.
While Tauranga enjoys a relatively mild climate, single glazing can still contribute to heat loss in winter, condensation and outside noise, while sunny rooms can experience overheating, glare and UV fading during the warmer months.
That's why we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach to double glazing. We assess your existing joinery, the orientation of your home and how different rooms perform before recommending the right combination of glazing and joinery.
Double Glazing Options for Tauranga Homes
Elite Double Glazing offers a range of upgrade options, including:
Aluminium retrofit double glazing
If your existing aluminium frames are still in good condition, we may be able to retrofit new high-performance double glazed units while retaining your existing joinery.
Timber retrofit double glazing
Retain the character of your existing timber windows while upgrading the glass and improving the comfort and performance of your home.
Aluminium Inserts
For suitable timber homes, aluminium inserts provide another way to upgrade ageing windows while retaining the existing outer timber surrounds.
Full Replacement Windows & Doors
Where existing joinery is no longer suitable for retrofitting, we can replace the complete window or door system with new thermally enhanced aluminium joinery and high-performance double glazing.
Choosing the Right Double Glazing for Your Tauranga Home
Not every room in your home necessarily needs the same glass specification. A sunny north or west-facing living area may have different glazing requirements from a colder bedroom on the shaded side of the house.
Our SuperTherm™ Low-E double glazing range allows us to tailor the glass specification to different areas of your home, with options designed to improve thermal performance, reduce solar heat gain, provide UV protection and improve acoustic performance.
We'll assess how your home performs and recommend the right glazing combination rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
SuperTherm™ Warm — Thermal performance
SuperTherm™ Cool — Solar control
SuperTherm™ Protect — UV + acoustic performance
SuperTherm™ Custom — Tailored specification

How Much Does Double Glazing Cost in Tauranga?
The cost of double glazing a Tauranga home depends on the size and number of windows, your existing joinery, the type of upgrade required and the glass specification you choose.
Retrofitting suitable existing windows can differ in cost from aluminium inserts or complete window replacement, which is why we recommend assessing your existing joinery before deciding on the best approach.

Double Glazing Tauranga FAQs
1. Can existing aluminium windows be retrofitted with double glazing? Yes. If your existing aluminium joinery is in suitable condition, double glazing can often be retrofitted without replacing the entire window. Our team will assess your frames and recommend whether retrofit or replacement is the better option.
2. Can you double glaze existing timber windows? Yes. Suitable timber windows can often be upgraded with double glazing while retaining their original character. We offer both traditional timber retrofit and replacement timber sash options depending on the condition and style of your existing windows.
3. How much does double glazing cost in Tauranga? The cost depends on the number and size of your windows, existing joinery, type of upgrade and glass specification. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can understand the options and costs for your home.
4. Will double glazing help with condensation? Double glazing can significantly reduce condensation on the inside of windows by keeping the internal glass surface warmer. Ventilation and managing indoor moisture are also important for reducing condensation in your home.
5. Is it better to retrofit double glazing or replace my windows? If your existing frames are in good condition, retrofit can be an effective way to improve performance while retaining your current joinery. Where frames are ageing, damaged or no longer suitable, full replacement may provide a better long-term solution.
6. What type of double glazing is best for Tauranga homes? The right glass depends on your home's orientation and how individual rooms perform. Sunny rooms may benefit from solar control, while colder or shaded areas may benefit from greater thermal performance. Our SuperTherm™ range allows us to tailor the specification accordingly.
