Don’t replace it – ecoGlaze it!
Converting your existing windows into tomorrow’s double glazing.

What is it?
ecoGlaze is a secondary glazing system.  It that uses a high quality transparent acrylic panel (like Perspex) that held in secured  to your existing windows and glass doors by specially designed mouldings.  ecoGlaze blends beautifully with your existing joinery to provide an almost seamless look – it is virtually invisible!  ecoGlaze is suitable for most timber windows (including lead lights) and doors as well as commercial grade aluminium windows.  ecoGlaze works with fixed windows, awning, casement and double hung windows.

What does it do?
ecoGlaze provides excellent thermal performance as well as acoustic benefit, reducing the heat loss from your windows by up to 50%.  It does this in the same way as factory fitted double glazing, by trapping a layer of still air between two glazed surfaces. ecoGlaze will provide thermal performance similar to good quality air filled double glazing. 

What makes ecoGlaze revolutionary?

• ecoGlaze looks fantastic
• ecoGlaze allows you to keep the same look to your home and enjoy the benefits of double glazing (works with lead light windows and doors)
• ecoGlaze is much more cost effective than replacement double glazing
• ecoGlaze is cut and installed on site.  This ensures that it fits perfectly to your windows – even if they are not longer ‘square’.
• No drama of researching and choosing a reputable window supplier or types of windows
• No mess from removing your existing windows
• No windows going to waste in landfill!

What good will it do?
ecoGlaze is a far simpler version of double glazing than replacing your windows. Secondary glazing will reduce the amount of energy that is transferred through your windows. In other words, it will keep the heat outside in summer and inside in winter. This heat retention not only means that you can be more comfortable but it also means that it takes far less energy to maintain the perfect temperature in your home, saving you money and reducing your greenhouse gas emissions.

Why secondary glazing?

• We know that many Australian homes can be pretty uncomfortable in summer and winter.  With energy pricing rising fast, many of us are now starting to look at ways to be comfortable in our homes without skyrocketing energy bills.   And it would be an even easier decision if our choices also supported the environment!

• A sensible place to start is your windows.  In winter, heat lost through a window can be 10 – 14 times more than through the same area of insulated wall.  Australians have been put off double glazing by the huge cost, the drama of researching and choosing a reputable supplier, the mess created by removing your existing windows and the waste in sending perfectly good windows directly to landfill!

• If you are renovating your home, ecoGlaze allows you to choose a cost effective solution that fits beautifully with your existing windows.  Your don’t have to change the look or character of your home to achieve energy efficiency.   So don’t replace it – ecoGlaze it!

• ‘When developing ecoGlaze, we focused on 4 areas:  your windows and doors needed to look beautiful, work the same, it had to be affordable and it had to be fabulously effective!”  says Lyn Beinat, CEO of ecoMaster.  ‘The feedback from clients we have received so far has been truly excellent.  We are on target to producing a solution for domestic aluminium windows for 2011.’

• ecoMaster has been the recipient of a number of awards over the years including the 2009 HIA GreenSmart Professional of the Year Award.
