Benefits of Retrofitting Timber Windows
Retrofitting double glazing into your existing timber windows is one of the easiest ways to improve the comfort and performance of your home without changing its character. By keeping the original frames, you maintain the home’s charm while gaining all the modern benefits of high-performance glazing. Homeowners notice immediate improvements in warmth, reduced condensation, quieter rooms, and far better energy efficiency — all while preserving the look and feel of their property.
Retrofit installations are completed with minimal disruption, making this a smart, cost-effective upgrade for older homes across Tauranga, Papamoa, Mount Maunganui and the wider Bay of Plenty.
Timber Retrofit for Villas, Bungalows, and Character Homes
Many Bay of Plenty homes — especially villas, bungalows, and 1940s–1970s timber houses — were designed with beautiful timber joinery worth preserving. Timber retrofit allows you to maintain those original details while bringing the window performance up to modern standards.
Our team specialises in working with older homes, carefully removing and re-fitting sashes, preserving decorative features, and protecting leadlights where required. You get a warmer, more comfortable home without losing the charm that makes these properties so special.
Timber Frame Repairs Included
Timber windows often need small repairs before they can be retrofitted. As part of our service, we can:
-
sand and realign swollen or stiff sashes
-
repair or replace worn timber sections
-
remove minor rot
-
fix glazing beads
-
adjust hinges and hardware
-
restore smooth, easy window movement
These repairs ensure your windows operate smoothly and are properly sealed for maximum performance. Instead of replacing entire frames, we bring them back to life, saving you money and protecting the craftsmanship of your home.
