Safety Glass Requirements
NZ Building Code requires safety (toughened or laminated) glass within 500mm of doors, at low levels (below 1,050mm), in wet areas, and at stairways/balustrades. When replacing glass in older homes, confirm replacement meets current code.
Double Glazing Worth It in Rotorua?
Yes — double glazing reduces heat loss through windows by ~50%, cuts condensation, and improves acoustic insulation. Retrofitting secondary glazing units into existing aluminium frames costs $400–$900 per window — cheaper than full window replacement.
