Introducing Improved Glazing

Total Lifestyle Builders is committed to saving energy and building environmentally-sustainable homes. We recommend the use of “improved glazing” in our home extensions as it will improve your comfort in all seasons and reduce your power bill:

• Cooler in summer
• Warmer in winter
• Reduces energy costs
• Low reflection

Improved glazing is different to ordinary clear glazing because it stops a large proportion of the sun’s direct heat from coming through the window.

The Low-E coating on the glass gives it better insulating properties by filtering the sun’s shortwave radiation (which cuts down on the amount of solar heat gain in your home). Improved glazing also has a neutral appearance (unlike tinted glass) that allows high levels of natural lighting to come through the glass.

Fitting improved glazing in our homes will eventually become a standard requirement for all Australian homes. At Total Lifestyle Builders we can provide expert advice on where to fit improved glazing in your home.
