Atlas Glass are experts in glazing and double glazing windows for timber joinery. They provide glazing for several timber joiners throughout Auckland. For homes that have timber joinery for double glazing, they recommend maintaining it with a sealant, keeping it clean and dry and then repainting or reoiling it within 18 months of installation.

The company says it is essential to keep the timber joinery in top form because it is a natural insulator and keeps the house warm and comfortable. Timber can easily outlast any other material like aluminium or PVC joinery options with proper maintenance.

The timber look makes for a more aesthetically pleasing window design. Depending on the wood and the finish it can be made to suit the surrounding architecture. Repainting and re-varnishing improves the value of the house. Wooden window frames are more environmentally sound as it saves energy. With timber nowadays coming from sustaintable resources, it is a better option over PVC.

Atlas Glass says combining timber joinery with modern glazing can be ideal for all types of properties – from traditional villas to modern residences. Timber window frames are extremely adaptable to any kind of design. When upgrading a home or if old windows need a makeover, modern timber joinery glazing will deliver a beautiful exterior with practical benefits.

The timber look is timeless, when upgrading the floor or investing in wooden frames. New timber frames and double glazing can provide a range of design choices. The double glazed windows will bring in natural light without being overwhelmed by the heat.

Double glazing is a way of creating an insulating gas layer - either normal air or special heavy gases - between two panes of glass. It lets in as much sunlight as single-glazed windows, but is better at holding in heat.

Double glazing is standard in most new houses but it's also worth installing in existing homes if the windows require substantial repairs or replacing. If there is a need to prioritise, it is good to install double glazing to the main heated areas of the house as well as to large windows.

Good double-glazed windows can halve heat loss through windows, significantly improve thermal comfort in the home and reduce external noise. The double glazing also reduces or removes condensation build up in cold weather.

Timber joinery is beautiful, functional and energy efficient. Atlas Glass can offer free quotes and discuss queries regarding timber double glazing.
