Can you Buy Double Glazed Windows and Doors Online?

Your guide to DIY double glazing in Perth

The cost of construction materials is going through the roof. International supply chains are slowing down renovations and building projects. Energy prices are skyrocketing, and Perth families are feeling the pinch.

No wonder you’re looking to buy double-glazed windows online.

Most big-ticket items, from furniture to fridges, are cheaper online. But when it comes to double glazing in Perth, buying online (or going the DIY route) will end up costing you more.

Here’s why.

What affects the cost of double-glazed windows in Perth?

The fit

Double-glazed windows and doors are made to measure. Unless they’re manufactured to millimetre-perfect precision, air will leak in, and you’ll be left with a security weak spot.

The function

Working with a Perth double glazing company means you get the best doors and windows for your space. With a wider range and greater customisation, you can ensure your double glazing maximises space and light.

The finish

While we can’t speak for other manufacturers, ARCO double-glazed doors and windows come with a Low-E coating as standard. Low-E (low emission) glass blocks harmful UV rays and cuts energy requirements.

The fixtures

Buying double glazing online might cost less, but you’ll be sacrificing security. Our multi-point locking system and steel-reinforced uPVC frames are designed to keep you safe.

The finances

ARCO double-glazed windows come with a 10-year glass warranty and a 25-year structural warranty. 

Is DIY double glazing doable?

The short answer is no.

To buy double glazing supply-only, you’ll need:

Exact measurements (or a site survey).

Transport.

Experienced installers.

The right equipment.
