Perth homeowners typically see noticeable reductions in their energy bills, with savings that accumulate over time, making double glazing a smart long-term investment. Learn more about the cost savings and energy efficiency benefits of double glazing.
- Does double glazing increase property value?
Yes, installing quality double glazing can increase your home’s resale value. Energy efficient windows and doors are highly desirable features for Perth buyers, offering thermal comfort, noise reduction, and lower running costs. The higher resale value, combined with energy savings, makes double glazing an excellent return on investment.
- What's the difference in cost between double and triple glazing?
Triple glazing costs more than double glazing due to the additional glass pane and increased manufacturing complexity. However, triple glazing offers superior thermal efficiency and noise reduction. Our team can help you assess whether the extra investment in triple glazing is worthwhile for your specific needs and Perth’s climate.
- What warranty does Penot Double Glazing offer?
Penot Double Glazing stands behind our products with comprehensive warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship. Our thermally broken aluminium frames and glazing units are built to last. Contact us directly for specific warranty terms and conditions for your chosen products.
- Are the windows and doors covered if something goes wrong?
Yes, our warranty covers manufacturing defects and installation issues. Our local Perth team is always available to address any concerns and ensure your complete satisfaction with your Penot windows and doors.
- How long do Penot windows and doors last?
With proper maintenance, our thermally broken aluminium windows and doors can last 20-30 years or more. Aluminium frames are highly durable, resistant to corrosion, and maintain their structural integrity in Perth’s coastal climate. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of moving parts will ensure optimal performance for decades.
- What is double glazing?
Double glazing consists of two panes of glass separated by an air or gas-filled space, creating an insulating barrier. This design significantly reduces heat transfer and noise compared to single-pane windows. At Penot Double Glazing, our double glazed units feature thermally broken aluminium frames for maximum energy efficiency.
- What is triple glazing?
Triple glazing features three panes of glass with two insulating spaces between them. This provides even greater thermal efficiency and noise reduction than double glazing. Triple glazed windows are ideal for homes in particularly noisy areas or where maximum energy efficiency is desired.
- Should I choose double or triple glazing for my Perth home?
For most Perth homes, double glazing with thermally broken aluminium frames provides excellent thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Triple glazing is recommended if you live near major roads, airports, or industrial areas where noise reduction is a priority, or if you want the absolute best thermal performance. Our local team can assess your specific situation and recommend the best solution.
- What is the energy efficiency difference?
Both double and triple glazing offer substantial energy savings compared to single-pane windows. Triple glazing provides approximately 20-30% better thermal efficiency than double glazing. However, the additional cost of triple glazing means double glazing often offers better value for Perth’s climate. Our team can help you calculate potential cost savings for your home.
- Can I mix double and triple glazing in my home?
Yes, many homeowners choose triple glazing for bedrooms or rooms facing noisy streets, while using double glazing elsewhere. This approach balances cost with performance where it matters most. Our team can help design a custom solution that maximises your investment.

- What are the main benefits of double glazing?
Penot Double Glazing delivers multiple benefits for Perth homes and businesses. Our noise reduction capabilities significantly reduce external noise from traffic, neighbors, and street activity, creating a peaceful indoor environment. You’ll experience substantial cost savings through lower energy bills thanks to improved thermal efficiency. The thermal comfort provided by our windows maintains consistent indoor temperatures year-round, eliminating cold spots in winter and hot spots in summer.
Our thermally broken aluminium systems deliver exceptional energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling demands while lowering your carbon footprint. The security features of our robust aluminium frames combined with multi-point locking systems provide excellent protection for your property. We offer extensive style and flexibility with a wide range of window and door styles to suit any architectural design. Installing Penot double glazing adds higher resale value to your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Finally, our condensation prevention technology reduces moisture buildup and potential mold issues, improving indoor air quality and comfort.
- How much noise reduction can I expect?
Double glazing can reduce external noise by 30-50% compared to single-pane windows, while triple glazing can achieve even greater sound insulation. The exact reduction depends on glass thickness, frame quality, and installation. Our thermally broken aluminium frames are designed to minimize noise transmission, creating a peaceful indoor environment even in busy Perth locations. Learn more about how our windows provide superior noise reduction.
- Will double glazing keep my home cooler in summer?
Yes, double glazed windows with thermally broken aluminium frames dramatically reduce heat gain during Perth’s hot summers. The insulating glass units block solar heat while the thermal break in the aluminium frames prevents heat transfer, keeping your home naturally cooler and reducing air conditioning costs. Discover more about the thermal comfort benefits.
- How does thermal comfort improve with double glazing?
Thermally broken aluminium frames and insulated glass units eliminate cold spots near windows and reduce drafts. Your home maintains more consistent temperatures throughout, meaning no more cold rooms in winter or hot spots in summer. This improved thermal comfort makes every room more livable year-round.
- Are Penot windows and doors secure?
Absolutely. Our thermally broken aluminium frames are inherently strong and rigid. Combined with high-quality multi-point locking systems, our windows and doors provide excellent security for your Perth home or business. Aluminium frames cannot be easily forced or damaged, offering superior protection compared to other materials.
- What style options are available?
Penot Double Glazing offers extensive style and flexibility with our comprehensive range of products. Our window options include tilt and turn windows, sliding windows, awning windows, casement windows, and stacking windows. We also create custom arch windows, curved windows, and pivot windows to suit unique architectural requirements.
Our door range features French doors, entry doors, sliding doors, stacking doors, lift and slide doors, smart slide doors, and pivot doors. All products are available in various powder coated colours to match your home’s aesthetic.
- How does double glazing prevent condensation?
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces. Double glazing keeps the interior glass pane warmer, reducing condensation dramatically. The thermally broken aluminium frames also stay warmer, preventing moisture buildup on frames. This condensation prevention improves comfort and reduces the risk of mold and mildew.
- What is thermally broken aluminium?
Thermally broken aluminium frames feature an insulating barrier (thermal break) between the interior and exterior aluminium sections. This prevents heat and cold from transferring through the frame, dramatically improving energy efficiency. Without thermal breaks, aluminium conducts temperature rapidly, but thermally broken frames perform as well as or better than other frame materials while maintaining aluminium’s strength and durability.
- Why does Penot use aluminium frames instead of uPVC?
Thermally broken aluminium offers several advantages for Perth’s climate. It provides superior strength and durability compared to other materials, along with slimmer sightlines that allow for more glass and natural light. Aluminium performs excellently in coastal environments and won’t warp, crack, or discolor in intense UV and heat. It’s also recyclable and environmentally sustainable, with powder coated finishes available in unlimited colours. Aluminium is particularly well-suited for large openings like our lift and slide doors and stacking doors.
- What glass options are available?
We offer various glass specifications including standard double glazing, triple glazing, Low-E coatings for enhanced thermal performance, tinted glass for solar control, and laminated glass for additional security and noise reduction. Our team will recommend the best glass configuration for your needs.
- Can I get custom-shaped windows?
