TwinGlaze Retrofit High Performance Double Glazing in Old Parliament House
In 2022 to 2023, TwinGlaze® undertook the restoration project of one of Australia’s great works … redefining the insulation of the Old Parliament House heritage windows.
A monument to Australian History … rich in heritage and architectural detail … needed a glazing solution that would improve energy performance and longevity without compromising its historic integrity.
Working closely with the architects and museum team, TwinGlaze® replaced the existing single glazing with high-performance Genuine Double Glazing, meticulously fitted into the original window frames with great care.
This was achieved without changing the structure or appearance of the windows, preserving their look and character both inside and out.
How TwinGlaze® delivered what Old Parliament House needed.
The architects and museum team required a seamless double glazing solution that would protect the heritage value and ensure long term use of the building for visitors to access and enjoy the chambers while preserving its significant features for years to come.
“Installation of double glazing to protect internal assets from UV exposure, address microclimate and mould risks and carry out conservation treatment to the timber window frames”
