On Byron Street in Sandy Bay, Tasmania, Sealasash recently completed a retrofit double glazing Sandy Bay project that blended heritage style with modern efficiency. The home featured a mix of heritage Yorkshire slider windows and double-hung sashes, each with unique glazing bar patterns that gave the property its character.
Our team installed Glavenir Vacuum Insulated Double Glazing by Panasonic across the windows, dramatically improving thermal and acoustic performance. To complete the work, we added our draught and acoustic sealing system, blocking gaps, reducing street noise, and ensuring the vacuum glass could perform at its best.
Preserving Heritage with Glazing Bars
A key part of this project was maintaining the distinctive glazing bar patterns that set this Byron Street home apart. We carefully replicated the detailing to ensure the new glass matched the property’s original look. This meant the home retained its heritage charm while gaining all the benefits of modern glazing.
The Result – Comfort, Style, and a 5-Star Review
With the retrofit complete, the Byron Street property now enjoys:
- Windows that are warmer and 8.5x more efficient than old single glazing
- A significant reduction in external noise thanks to vacuum glass and sealing
- Heritage sash and slider windows upgraded without compromise
- Replica glazing bars preserving the property’s unique style
.
Our clients were so impressed with both the results and the professionalism of our team that they left Sealasash a glowing 5-star review.
