Re: Double glazing.
Currently they have to hit '6 star' in some states (5 in others, ahem) and I think they can manage that without double glazing, just.
If Victoria moved to 7-stars, that would mean double glazing and proper insulation - which would then probably kick start proper double glazing in Oz as a whole. And the best chance of that happening is for the greens to have the balance of power come Nov....

Re: Double glazing.
Well the damaged window is still here. They are offering a $700 discount if they don't have to rip it out and start again. As it is mostly going to be behind curtains we have accepted this, and it is also going to be further hidden when they put the track for the retractable flyscreen on. The plasterer came yesterday and did a great job, so now we await the installers return to fix all the snags and fit said flyscreens.
They are a man down as one of the installers fell through a window he was installing!!

Re: Double glazing.
Installers will be here on Monday to fit the flyscreens and finish off the bits they didn't get around to.

Re: Double glazing.
Secondary Double Glazing
Sound Proofing & Noise Insulation | Intro | Granada Secondary Glazing
Easier to achieve in Australia, and since you can have a bigger gap, it can deliver better acoustic performance than sealed DG.
Of course, with the "made for Australian conditions" quality of the build on walls and ceilings, you might find sound leaks in via other routes...

Re: Double glazing.
They STILL haven't finished- not all of the bits and pieces were there, so they have to come back again.
Sigh.
