Wellington Double Glazing Project not just for Snowy Temperatures
With the present weather patterns in Wellington and across New Zealand, the snow is serving up a cool reminder of just how unpredictable the weather can be. But it hasn’t all been about trying to keep warm in these extreme temperatures. Kiwis around Wellington flocked to their windows (and braver ones to the streets) to experience the once in a lifetime event of snow falling on their city.
It’s times like these that we appreciate more than ever the value of having warm windows. That is, windows where we do not have to wipe away the condensation to see the views.
For a recent customer of The Double Glazing window Company in Wellington, attaining warmer windows wasn’t just about being able to see through the glass clearly on cold mornings. It was also about taking a broken view of the harbour and turning it into a million dollar picture. All just in time to see the snow falling this winter!
“Our client has a home in Khandallah with fantastic views looking out across the Wellington harbour,” said Martin Gunn from The Double Glazing Company in Wellington. “For them it wasn’t just about improving the insulation of their windows. They wanted to turn a group of smaller windows into one large picture window”.
While double glazing was the perfect solution, delivering the finished result didn’t come without its challenges!
The Double Glazing Company’s solution had to meet design requirements that included handling the extremes of Wellington winds. Along with this, the location of the window itself meant that a crane was required to get the new double glazing unit into place.
