On O’Grady Street in Clifton Hill, Sealasash recently completed a retrofitting glass Clifton Hill project to tackle draughts and improve comfort in a much-loved home. The property had been losing heat through its front door and original sash windows, leaving the interior cold and inefficient during Melbourne’s winter months.
Our team replaced the old panes in two double-hung sash windows with Low E EnergyTech Glass by Viridian. This high-performance glass provides improved insulation while fitting seamlessly into existing timber frames. To complete the work, we carried out full draught sealing on the windows and front door, ensuring that warm air stays inside and draughts are kept out.
Why Draught Sealing Matters in Clifton Hill Homes
Heritage homes in Clifton Hill often retain their character but suffer from energy loss through original windows and doors. Sealing makes a big difference. As highlighted in our Simple Solutions Work article, even simple draught proofing steps are proven to reduce heat loss and create a more comfortable living environment.
The Result – A Warmer, Draught-Free Home
With new EnergyTech glass and professional sealing, this O’Grady Street home now benefits from:
- A warmer and more energy-efficient interior
- Front door and windows sealed against draughts
- Retained heritage style with upgraded performance
This project shows how retrofitting glass Clifton Hill homes, paired with draught sealing, can create a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency while keeping the charm of original timber windows.
