Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a sealed air gap between them, instead of one. That gap slows heat moving through the window - keeping warmth in during winter and out during summer and cuts down how much outside noise gets through.
Double glazing cuts heat transfer through the glass, so your home holds its temperature better and relies less on heating and cooling. It also helps reduce condensation on windows during Sydney's cooler, damper months.
Double glazing isn't a separate product - it's an upgrade option available across everything we make. Builders can specify it on any system in a new build, and homeowners can add it when upgrading existing windows and doors.
Velox Glass supplies and installs double glazing across all Sydney suburbs, for new builds, renovations and upgrades alike.

It also reduces condensation and outside noise. The biggest benefit usually comes from large glass areas, living rooms and bedrooms facing a busy road.
Yes. Double glazing is available across our full aluminium range – sliding, stacking, awning, double-hung, bifold, and hinge and pivot. We specify the glass alongside the window or door system, so it's built in from the start.
Not quite. Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them, mainly to improve thermal performance, though it also reduces some noise. Acoustic glass is specifically designed to cut noise. If noise is your main concern, acoustic glass is the better choice, and the two can be combined in one unit.

In most cases the full window or door is replaced with a new double-glazed unit, because older frames usually aren't deep enough to hold double-glazed glass. We'll look at your existing windows and advise what's needed as part of the quote.
