I highly recommend DIY Double Glazing. The team came out and measured my windows very quickly, and the provided me a quote within a few days of first contacting them. The quote was less than 1/4 of the price of replacing the windows frames, and the process was very easy. Once I made the order, we organised a delivery date for the windows, and the driver was very friendly and punctual.I replaced the glass in two double hung windows. It was about 1 day worth of work. The lead time for the glass was about 2 weeks, so the whole project was ordered and installed within one month, much quicker than all the other alternatives.I chose to do the installation myself, and it is definitely doable for those with a bit of experience on the tools.It has already made a huge difference in terms of temperature, and noise levels, and now that the windows are painted, you can't see any difference.

Been looking to upgrade our windows to double glazed windows for a while and we looked at multiple uPVC options until we found DIY double glaze. Mark was very knowledgeable during the consultation and the resulting quote in utilising our existing timber frames was a significant cost savings over even thee cheapest uPVC quote. The other positive was that DIY double glaze had a lead time of 6-8 weeks whilst uPVC options were looking at 6 months!The job was performed professionally and the team on site were friendly and accommodated our needs. The install occured over multiple days as we had quite a few windows to change out including double hung sash windows. The result is amazing and we really can feel the difference, having to use less heating/cooling with a real improvement on sound insulation as well. Last but not least, my windows are not sweating anymore, so there is no more build up of moisture at the base of the glass, significantly deterring mould growth.If you are considering a cost effective option to save on utility bills, reduce noise and eliminate mould from the windows, I'd highly recommend Retrofit/DIY double glaze and their amazing product and service. 10/10 from start to finish.

Cannot recommend DIY Double Glaze highly enough. We had 6 sash windows and 2 timber frame sliding doors fitted with new glass, and they did an incredible job maintaining the aesthetic of our old home and didn’t leave a trace of dust behind.From the first measure and quote visit through to 3 days and 5 different workers to complete the job every single person involved was professional, friendly and respectful of our home. Everyone could confidently explain the process and solve any surprises that arose without issue.We’ve noticed the difference in temperature immediately, could not be happier with the results!

I have just completed double glazing 19 windows on our home using DIY Double Glaze panels. The quality of the product and level of support from DIY Double Glaze is outstanding. From their comprehensive and detailed quotation and excellent communication, and 10 year warranty, to their ontime delivery and support, with a day's training and assistance on the project, all went smoothly and all window panels fitted perfectly. A highly recommended way to retrofit double glazing to your home at a reasonable cost if you have timber windows.Mark is extremely knowledgeable and provided great tips on obtaining a professional result. (btw, suggest you buy a $95 Chinese brad gun on eBay for the job ( the Makita equivalent is $550!). The cheap gun works a treat.)Our house is unbelievably quieter and warmer since installing.

I can't praise DIY Retrofit Double Glazing enough for their exceptional service. As homeowners with a heritage property, preserving the aesthetic while enhancing functionality was crucial to us. DIY Retrofit Double Glazing not only met but exceeded our expectations. Their expertise in retrofitting double glazing for timber frame windows was evident from the start. They guided us through every step, ensuring we understood the process and were comfortable with our choices. The installation team was skilled, respectful of our home, and completed the job with precision. The difference in warmth and noise reduction is remarkable. We're delighted with the results and would recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional and quality service.

Absolutely thrilled with the double glazing service provided by DIY DOUBLE GLAZE. We were concerned about energy efficiency and noise reduction. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They understood our concerns and recommended the best solutions tailored to our needs. The installation itself was seamless, with minimal disruption to our daily routine, big thanks to Val and Dan our installers. Now, our home feels more comfortable and quieter, and we're already noticing savings on our energy bills. Highly recommend DIY DOUBLE GLAZE for anyone looking to upgrade their single glaze windows!

DIY Double Glaze has just recently installed 8 panes of double glazing in my house, with my assistance. The process was seamless and we completed the project in one day. I'm very happy with the result and only wish I'd done it a long time ago. The difference in heat retention and quietness is obvious. I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic work on our house in Preston. The guys essentially rebuilt the whole window and sash mechanisms, installed new double glazing panels, and some custom draught sealing. All looks super neat and noticed the difference in temp straight away. Polite, very respectful of my home and couldn't be happier with the result - highly recommended

Liam and the DIY Double Glaze team did a great job on our windows. We could see the difference instantly - less noise, better insulation and no more condensation! It only took a few weeks from the initial visit for a quote to the completion of work, which I am also very happy about.

The team from DIY Double Glaze was amazing and the result is what we were hoping for. We bought our 20-year-old house two years ago and while the windows were in a reasonable condition for what they were (wooden sash-windows, single-glazing), the poor insulation and gaps were really bothering us. We looked into options for retrofitting as well as entirely new UPVC windows. While no doubt new frames and windows would have achieved an entirely different result and retrofitting can never do that, it's also about four times more expensive. We're talking some serious cash here! For us that wasn't feasible, so we went with retrofitting and are super happy with the result. It's warmer, less drafty (the guys also put additional sealing for those pesky gaps, which in itself helped a lot), we get less condensation and it's also more sound-proof. Aesthetically there's no drawback. We found the DIY team all the way through approachable, super friendly, patient with all our questions, and accommodating. They instantly created a trusting relationship and we felt in the best hands. Highly recommend!

We approached three different companies for double glazing quotes and choose DIY Double Glaze. They were meticulous in measuring our windows and provided a competitive quote with some pricing options for us to choose from. Their reputation is obviously good as we had to wait approx. 3 months before they could start on our job. We chose to have them do all the work i.e. no DIY from us. As the job unfolded we had 4 different crew members working at our home. All were professional, polite with a keen eye on detail. Of course there was some dust, glass / timber fragments etc and they did clean up each day. We are very pleased with the end result and the painting is now underway. More than happy to recommend Mark and his team.

Looks Fantastic and difference in the temperature inside is enormous; much more than I had hoped for! Was not an Easy install but was done perfectly after some effort from the installers. The Guy in the photo is the less shy of the installers on my job in front of my new four windows. I could not be happier and will use them again wherever I can.

I could not recommend Alan and the DIY double glaze team more highly. Alan was friendly, professional, easy to deal with and the cost was substantially cheaper than any other retrofit glazing or secondary glazing option I investigated (and cheaper on the day than originally quoted as the install took less time - honesty rarely found these days). I can't comment on the performance of the windows as yet, but the technical specs are on par or better than the other alternatives I investigated - they are true IGUs with argon gas and low-E coating. I would expect them to be superior to the secondary acrylic options, and a similar price.

Most cost efficient way to get double glazing in a existing dwelling in my opinion. The end result is of a very high level aesthetically (considering it's a retrofit), and thermally I don't believe you could get better (Alan believes his product (via the specific way he gets in manufactured) is actually closer to triple glazing and I believe him).His product, service and professionalism is as the other reviewers have stated, of a very high standard, and of great importance to me, honest and not commercially greedy.I was more than happy to pay for his time to install my windows given I don't have all the time, tools and experience required, however if you do, he provides detailed install instructions for free on his website.Highly recommended.

Alan was very easy to deal with and carefully laid out the details for us to understand. As we wanted noise reduction and thermal improvement, he was able to cater the window order to our needs. I worked with Alan to install the windows, which we did without issue. Even 6 months later when a window seal failed, Alan came over immediately and replaced it.

Alan was great! We had a large room with lots of very large windows to double glaze. Alan provided the windows and installed them with my parter. Total cost was under half of what we had previously been quoted by another company and made it possible for us to do it. Very happy with quality and have already noticed a difference. Alan was also very helpful in suggesting other ways we could improve the efficiency of our home and was very prompt in responding to queries and generally great to deal with. Would definitely recommend.

I bought an oversized fixed double glazed window for my bedroom from DIY Double Glaze with Alan and I was really impressed with his knowledge and skill to deal and move such huge, heavy and delicate panel. Very professional service and I highly recommend.

Don't replace your window frames!

If you have timber window frames or doors in decent condition, you don't need to replace them to achieve the full benefits of double glazing - simply replace the glass. Retain the character of your home, at 1/3 the price of replacing the window frames.

Are you into DIY renovations? Good news: you can replace your windows with double glazing on your own. We've created a detailed guide to help you.

We can manage the entire install for you, from end to end. From measuring to removing the old glass, it’s all on us.
 

Why choose retrofit & Double Glazed over replacement?

Double Glazing is far superior to single glazing and secondary glazing in many ways. Single-glazed windows are the largest source of heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Plus, they create uneven temperature distribution throughout the house. Double glazing fixes this. All our units are Argon filled and with the choice of Low-E coatings, they insulate much better than standard units.

icon 03

Reduced Energy Usage Up To 60%

Do the right thing for the planet, and your hip pocket. Use less energy to heat your home in winter and cool in summer. This is particularly important in Melbourne where our temperature varies from season to season.

icon 02

Silenced Noise Up To 50%

Double glazing is effective at reducing unwanted noise. Reduce the loud traffic, noisy neighbours or irritating barking dogs. Our Hush Glass laminate is industry leading to turn the volume down by over 30% on standard double glazing.

icon 04

Reduced Condensation

Internal condensation makes your home humid. This is not just uncomfortable, but can be unsafe as it encourages mould and mildew growth. Double glazing drastically reduces the temperatures necessary for condensation to initially form by providing an insulating barrier. 

icon 05

Increased Security

Double glazing is much harder to break though through than standard glass, and our range comes toughened and thicker than standard glass, along with laminated options.

If you have timber windows, most likely, yes! We can retrofit almost all types of timber windows, including Double Hung, Awning, Casement, Fixed, Clerestory, Doors, and Sliding Windows. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your window, and we'll check it out.

Double glazing retrofit can help you reduce energy costs, increase comfort, and improve the soundproofing of your property. It also enhances the appearance and value of your property. It is significantly cheaper than replacing the whole window frame with a new uPVC, Timber or Thermally broken aluminium but maintains similar performance. It is also more sustainable, as you are not creating waste by discarding the existing frame.

You do not need to replace your existing frames during the retrofit process. Our team will install the new glass pane to your existing window frame.

Yes, double glazing retrofit is a long-term investment that can save you money on energy costs, increase the comfort and value of your property, and improve its sound insulation for many years to come.

Yes, double glazing retrofit is an environmentally friendly solution as it helps reduce energy consumption, thus reducing your carbon footprint. As we retain your existing window frames, we reduce waste but not discarding frames like some other solutions.
