Features & Benefits
REDUCE
CONDENSATION
NZ homes are often cold and damp. With the increased insulation of double glazing, condensation is significantly reduced, resulting in drier windows with less mould and mildew.
INCREASE THE
VALUE OF YOUR HOME
Retro-fit double glazing can bring your home up to todays living standard and increase its resale value at the same time. Potential house buyers are looking for efficient, well insulated homes.
KINDER TO
THE ENVIRONMENT
A double glazed house consumes less energy to heat or cool it helping the environment. Your old glass and aluminium is sent off to be recycled.
ADDED
SECURITY
Two panes of glass are much harder to break than one. Improve the security further still by using toughened or laminated glass.
KEEPS YOU
COOLER IN SUMMER
With KDG's 4 Seasons Low E you can now reduce unwanted Solar Gain whilst allowing maximum light transmission.
WHAT IS
