SPECIALIST GLAZING

LEAKING.
CONDENSATING.
NON-COMPLIANT.

Specialist glazing remediation for existing buildings. We diagnose and resolve window and façade leaks, compliance issues and performance risks.

When windows are failing, a quick reseal is rarely the answer. WS Remedial Group’s glazing specialists diagnose the cause and deliver the right solution: remediation, retrofit or full replacement.

COMMON GLAZING PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

  • Water ingress around window frames
  • Colour mismatch in glazing replacement
  • Internal condensation and mould
  • High energy bills and heat loss
  • Poor acoustic performance
  • NCC 2022 energy compliance failures
  • Heritage constraints limiting options
  • Poor NABERS ratings impacting asset value
  • Failing seals causing systemic ingress
IS THIS FOR ME?

If Your Building Has Any Of These Issues, We Can Help

null

Water Ingress Around Windows

Leaks around frames are rarely a simple seal failure. The actual entry point is often elsewhere, we identify the source and fix it properly, not just treat the symptom.
null

High Energy Bills and Thermal Loss

Single-glazed or poorly sealed windows are often the largest contributor to cooling loads in commercial buildings. Glazing
upgrades can directly improve NABERS ratings and reduce operational costs.
null

Condensation, Draughts And Mould

Persistent internal condensation signals thermal bridging or air infiltration. Left unaddressed, it leads to mould, finishes damage and escalating maintenance costs.
null

Poor Acoustic Performance

Inadequate sound insulation affects occupant comfort and productivity. High Rw-rated glazing systems can reduce noise by up to 70% often without full window replacement.
null

NCC 2022 or AS 1288 or AS 2047 Non-Compliance

Buildings not meeting current energy performance or safety glazing standards face rising compliance risk, particularly during refurbishment. We scope and deliver compliant upgrades with full documentation.
null

Heritage Constraints Limiting Options

Listed buildings can’t accept conventional replacement. We install fully reversible secondary glazing systems that don’t alter the external facade, accepted by most heritage authorities.
WHY IT MATTERS

What Failing Glazing Is Actually Costing Your Building

Energy Costs Keep Climbing

Poorly performing windows force HVAC systems to work harder. In large commercial buildings, this is a significant and entirely preventable ongoing cost and a direct drag on NABERS ratings.

Water Damage Compounds Silently

Window leaks travel through wall cavities, insulation and substrate before becoming visible internally. The visible damage is rarely the full picture and the repair cost grows with every wet season.

Compliance Exposure Increases Over Time

NCC 2022 energy requirements, AS 2047, and AS 1288 safety standards for windows and external glazed doors in buildings apply at the point of works. Every year without a compliant upgrade is another year of accumulated liability and deferred cost.

Asset Value And Tenantability At Risk

Poor NABERS ratings affect rental premiums in premium office buildings. In strata buildings, unresolved glazing defects drive body corporate disputes and significant deferred liability.

An Assessment Changes The Picture

Our glazing assessments identify the cause not just the symptom – and give you a clear, costed path forward with a compliance review included. You know exactly what you’re dealing with before committing to anything.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Glazing & Window Repair FAQs

Can glazing upgrades meet NCC 2022 requirements?

Yes. The window system has a significant impact on overall building envelope performance. We scope upgrades that satisfy NCC 2022 Section J requirements with full compliance documentation.

How does glazing affect NABERS ratings?

Improved solar heat gain performance including upgraded glass and window systems directly affects the thermal envelope score, a significant component of a building’s NABERS Energy rating.

Can glazing be upgraded without replacing the entire façade?

Yes. We have specialist systems that maintain the structural integrity and watertightness of the facade while replacing the window system minimising disruption and cost.

Is secondary glazing approved for heritage buildings?

In many cases, yes secondary glazing is favoured because it doesn’t alter the external appearance. Approval requirements vary by listing. We’ve navigated this process many times and can advise on your specific situation.

Can glazing permanently fix window leaks?

A permanent fix requires finding the actual source first. Leaks that appear around windows often originate elsewhere in the wall, flashing or drainage. We conduct a comprehensive inspection before recommending any works.

How long does installation take?

It varies with scope and access. Before works begin, we prepare a detailed project plan with sequencing, access requirements and a clear program particularly important for live or occupied buildings.

Do you work on government maintenance panels?

Yes. We operate across Australia and have experience within government procurement frameworks including QBuild and NSW Public Works panel arrangements.

How much does glazing replacement cost?

It varies with specification and performance requirements. Our assessments always present options at different investment levels our goal is the best-performing system at your price point.
