When the Bay of Plenty sun is blazing, it doesn’t take long for Kiwi homes to feel more like ovens than sanctuaries. It’s a common story here in Tauranga, even in new homes fitted with standard double glazing, the heat still pours in. The result? Families relying on fans and air conditioning just to get through a summer’s day.
That’s why we recommend SuperTherm™ Cool double glazing, the smarter solution designed specifically for New Zealand’s unique climate.
Stay Cool Without Relying on Air Con
SuperTherm™ Cool is a specialised Low-E (low emissivity) glazing that reduces the amount of solar heat entering your home while still letting in plenty of natural daylight.
The benefits:
Cooler interiors on scorching afternoons.
Bright, open living spaces without harsh glare.
Clear views - unlike tinted glass, SuperTherm™ Cool doesn’t make your home feel dark.
It’s about finding that just right balance - or as we like to call it, the Goldilocks Standard of Comfort.
Why Standard Double Glazing Isn’t Enough
Standard double glazing is great for slowing heat loss in winter, but it’s not built to handle the strong Kiwi sun. In Tauranga, where the summers are long and hot, that means living rooms, bedrooms, and sun-facing spaces can quickly overheat.
With SuperTherm™ Cool, you get glazing engineered for summer comfort. It keeps your home cooler, helps protect against fading from UV rays, and reduces reliance on power-hungry cooling systems.
The Science Behind the Comfort
The secret is in the Low-E coating - a virtually invisible layer that reflects a portion of the sun’s infrared energy back outside. At the same time, it blocks damaging UV rays that fade furniture, flooring, and artwork.
As the exclusive RetroGlaze® partner in Tauranga, Elite Double Glazing brings this world-class technology to local homes. That means smarter glazing, expert installation, and solutions tailored to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does retrofit double glazing work in older timber frames?
Yes - we retrofit Tauranga villas, bungalows, and character homes. Our team carefully assesses your joinery so the new units fit seamlessly without compromising your home’s style.
Is SuperTherm™ Cool tinted?
No. It lets in plenty of daylight while cutting heat and glare. You’ll still enjoy clear views and bright interiors.
Will it reduce fading on my furniture?
Yes - the Low-E coating blocks the majority of UV rays, helping to protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork.
How is it different from standard double glazing?
Standard double glazing reduces winter heat loss but does little against summer overheating. SuperTherm™ Cool is built for New Zealand summers, reflecting heat before it enters your home.
Do I need to replace all my windows at once?
Not necessarily. Many homeowners start with the sunniest rooms — like living spaces and bedrooms — then upgrade in stages.
