Hi,
I live in Melbourne and we are currently renovating our home, we have decided to get quotes on upgrading to double glazed windows/bifolds in the new part of the house, the existing house will not change. Is it worth spending the extra $$$ ?
The bifold doors (6no. 820x2040) will be north facing and I don't believe they will receive much (if any) direct sunlight (they open to a fully covered alfresco area) in the summer but will there be a lot of heat loss in the winter? The quote is an extra $1340 +gst to upgrade
There is a window in our living area (north facing) which is 3600 x 1800 which will be exposed to the sunlight, an extra $1165 + gst
The other windows that we are considering are 2 bedroom windows (800x1300) which are west facing and do get some sun in the afternoon, with these windows we will look at purchasing and external blind to proctect from the summer heat, do we still need to get these double glazed? Extra cost of $235 + gst for one, the other has an existing window which would be taken out and replaced at a cost of $1000.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
