Consider Improving Insulation as Daylight Savings End Nears

With daylight savings set to end on Sunday, 6th April, it’s the perfect reminder that cooler days are just around the corner. As the temperatures start to drop across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty, it’s a great time for homeowners to take stock of how well their homes are insulated—and double glazing your existing aluminium windows and doors could make all the difference.

At Ryan Double Glazing, we specialise in retrofitting double-glazed units into existing aluminium joinery, offering a cost-effective way to improve your home’s warmth, comfort, and energy performance—without the need to fully replace your windows and doors.

Improved Insulation, Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Double-glazed windows provide better insulation, trapping heat inside during winter and keeping it out during summer, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.

With a sealed air gap between two panes of glass, double glazing acts as an insulating barrier, drastically reducing heat loss through your windows.

• Lower energy bills – With better insulation, you’ll rely less on heaters and electric blankets, meaning reduced power usage.

• Eco-friendly – Lower energy consumption not only saves you money, but also helps shrink your household’s carbon footprint.

Reduced Noise, Greater Peace

If you live near a busy road, in a bustling suburb, or simply value a peaceful living space, double glazing offers a significant noise reduction. The second pane of glass and the insulating air gap help block out external noise, creating a quieter and more relaxing home environment.

Improved Comfort Year-Round

• Less condensation – Double-glazed windows help reduce the build-up of moisture on the inside of your windows, which in turn helps combat mould and unhealthy dampness inside your home.

• Balanced indoor temperature – Keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.

• UV protection – Many double-glazed units also help block harmful UV rays, protecting furniture, flooring, and curtains from fading over time.

Extra Security and Added Property Value

Double-glazed windows are more difficult to force open or break, offering an added layer of security for your home. They’re also a smart investment, as potential buyers often view double glazing as a desirable feature, increasing your property’s appeal and resale value.

And the best part? Double-glazed units are generally low-maintenance—just a regular clean is all they need to keep looking their best.

Make the Change with Ryan Double Glazing

If your home still has single-glazed aluminium windows and doors, now is the time to consider an upgrade. Ryan Double Glazing can transform your existing joinery by installing double glazing directly into it—no need for full window replacements.

You’ll not only enjoy a warmer, quieter, and more energy-efficient home, but you’ll also reduce the risk of dampness and enjoy long-term savings on your heating bills.
