What is retrofit double glazing?
Hi there! Hope you're all having a nice day
Today we are here to talk about retrofit double glazing. But what is it?
The name kind of gives it away, right? Anyway, it is the process of replacing a single glass pane with double glazed units, filling the gap between the panes with a poor conductor gas or leaving it under vacuum.
But why would you do it?
The gap between the panes acts as an insulator (for more info, ask a chemical engineer about heat transfer in different materials xD) keeping the heat inside and therefore reducing your power bill as well as making a small (but important!) step towards a more sustainable planet. During summer, the opposite happens, it keeps the heat out and your house cool.
There are other benefits, like reducing noise and condensation inside the house

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
