• The retrofit process involves removing the single glazing from the windows and changing the glazing bead that holds the single glass in place with a new flush bead to accommodate the double glazing. This process is all done without altering the existing window frame.

• The other main change is a new flush finished opening sash window, with an upgrade of hinges and stays to accommodate the heavier double glazing. Sliding doors require joinery adapters but can also be upgraded depending on the age and condition of the joinery.

• Another automatic upgrade that occurs during the retrofit process is the replacement of safety glass. This is for all fixed or opening windows and sliding doors that are subject to someone being able to walk into them (Human Impact standard) as part of the NZ Building code compliance.
