In Footscray West, Victoria, Sealasash recently completed a retrofitting glass Footscray West project that gave a heritage home a modern performance boost while retaining its original timber windows. The double-hung sashes were fitted with EnergyTech (ETech) Glass by Viridian, our most affordable upgrade option for homeowners wanting improved comfort without the need for full double glazing.
Despite being a single-glass product, EnergyTech provides excellent performance. Compared to the thin, outdated panes it replaced, the new glass delivered an impressive 37% improvement in thermal efficiency, helping to keep the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Affordable Performance Without Compromise
Not every project requires vacuum or laminated glass. EnergyTech offers a cost-effective solution that makes a significant difference while preserving existing timber frames. For many homeowners, pairing this type of glass with sealing is the smartest first step. As explained in our Simple Solutions Work article, small changes like sealing and better glass selection can transform how a home feels day-to-day.
Results of the Footscray West Retrofit
The homeowners now benefit from:
- 37% greater thermal efficiency compared to old single glass
- Retained character of original sash windows
- An affordable performance upgrade without altering the home’s style
This project shows how retrofitting glass Footscray West homes with Viridian EnergyTech is a practical and affordable way to improve comfort, efficiency, and sustainability.
