Double glazing uses two panes of glass separated by a sealed space, which slows heat moving in and out and reduces outside noise. Paired with an aluminium frame, it gives you a slim, durable window with far better comfort than single glazing.
Double-glazed aluminium window installation takes extra care. The glass units are heavier, frames are often deeper, and a poorly sealed perimeter lets draughts bypass the glass entirely. We measure precisely, pack and fix frames to suit the weight, seal the gap between frame and wall and finish reveals neatly, whether we are fitting a few windows or a whole house.
In short: Hustle Installations is a window and door installation team fitting double-glazed aluminium windows for homeowners and builders. Pricing depends on window size, frame type, glass specification and access. We aim to respond to enquiries within one business day and offer a free measure and quote.
Single-glazed windows are often the weakest part of a home’s thermal envelope. In winter, warmth escapes through the glass and condensation forms on cold panes; in summer, heat pours in. Traffic, neighbours and aircraft noise come straight through too. Double-glazed aluminium windows address all of these, which is why they are common in new homes and a popular upgrade in renovations.
We start by understanding your goal: comfort, energy savings, noise reduction or all three. That guides the glass and frame choice, such as low-E coatings, laminated glass for sound or thermally broken frames. We then install the windows with careful handling and thorough sealing so you actually feel the difference. See our main aluminium window installation page for other window types, or our aluminium window supply service if you want to source double-glazed frames.
Double glazing only works if the whole window is right, not just the glass.
Gaps around the frame. If the space between frame and wall is not sealed, air and sound leak around the glass, cancelling much of the benefit.
Frames that conduct heat. Standard aluminium frames transfer heat readily. Thermally broken frames reduce this and help limit condensation on the frame itself.
Wrong glass for the goal. Standard double glazing helps with heat, but noise reduction often needs laminated glass or a different pane combination.
Heavy units handled poorly. Double-glazed units are heavy, and rough handling can damage edge seals, leading to fogging between panes later.
We tailor each double-glazing job to the rooms, the walls and your comfort goals.
Double-glazed windows cost more than single-glazed ones, and the gap depends on several choices:
For indicative ranges, see our page on double-glazed aluminium window installation in Melbourne.
Because double-glazed units are heavier and frames are often deeper than single-glazed ones, we plan each opening carefully. We check whether reveals need extending, organise enough crew for the larger units and handle glass upright to protect the edge seals. Sealing gets particular attention, since it is what turns good glass into a comfortable room.

A double-glazed unit has two panes separated by a spacer and sealed around the edges. The sealed cavity slows heat transfer, and coatings such as low-E reduce radiant heat loss in winter and gain in summer. For noise, laminated glass on one or both panes, or panes of different thickness, usually performs better than standard double glazing alone. The frame matters too: thermally broken aluminium reduces heat moving through the frame and helps limit condensation.
Windows are generally expected to meet AS 2047 for wind, water and air performance, and glass should be selected in line with AS 1288 where required. In bushfire-prone areas, AS 3959 can influence glass and frame choices. On new homes, the glazing specification normally comes from your energy assessment, and our job is to install those windows so they perform as rated.
Many people invest in double glazing and are disappointed when rooms still feel draughty or noisy. Usually the cause is the installation: unsealed gaps, poorly fitted frames or glass that was not matched to the problem. Others are confused by technical terms and unsure which options are worth paying for.
We explain glass and frame options in plain language, match them to your goals and install the windows with thorough sealing. You get windows that deliver the comfort you paid for.
What sets us apart:
We match the glass and frame to whether you want warmth, quiet or both.
Frame-to-wall gaps are sealed so air and noise cannot bypass the glass.
Double-glazed units are moved upright with enough crew to protect edge seals.
We swap single-glazed frames for double glazing with neat reveals.
We install double-glazed packages to your new-build schedule.
Technical options are explained clearly so you only pay for what helps.
Tell us what you need, where the project is located, and what outcome you want. We ask the right questions, review the scope, and provide a clear quote with no obligation.
We inspect access, openings, levels, existing frames, surrounding finishes, and any site-specific requirements. Accurate measurement helps prevent delays, gaps, and unnecessary rework.
We confirm the installation approach, materials, scheduling, and finish expectations. For Melbourne projects, we can also discuss thermal performance, double glazing, weather sealing, and BAL rating considerations where required or relevant.
Our team installs with care, precision, and safety. We focus on alignment, fixing, glazing, sealing, operation, and clean presentation.
Before we leave, we check the installation, clean the work area, and walk through the finished result. You get a tidy site and a result built to perform.
Double-glazed aluminium window installation involves measuring each opening, confirming the glass and frame specification, removing any old frames, then fixing the new windows square and level and sealing the gap between frame and wall. We finish the reveals, test every sash and lock and clean the glass before handing over.
Double glazing noticeably reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer compared with single glazing, and it reduces condensation on the glass. It also lowers outside noise. The improvement depends on the glass, the frame and how well the window is sealed into the wall.
It helps, but if noise is the main issue, laminated glass or panes of different thickness usually perform better than standard double glazing. Sealing around the frame is just as important. We ask about the type of noise, such as traffic or neighbours, and recommend glass that suits it.
Yes. We remove the existing frames and install double-glazed aluminium windows in the same openings. Because double-glazed frames are often deeper, reveals may need extending, which we finish neatly. Each double-glazed aluminium window installation is planned so your home stays secure during the work.
A thermally broken frame has an insulating barrier inside the aluminium that reduces heat transfer and helps limit condensation on the frame. It is worth considering in colder rooms, homes aiming for high energy performance or where your energy assessment specifies it.
Fogging between panes usually means the edge seal of the glass unit has failed, letting moisture into the cavity. This can come from manufacturing faults or damage during handling. We handle units upright and with care to protect the seals during installation. If a unit fogs after installation, contact us and we will help arrange an assessment.
A few double-glazed windows can often be installed in a day. A whole-house replacement may take several days, depending on the number and size of windows and access. Glass units are made to order, so lead time is usually the main scheduling factor.
Yes. We remove old frames, packaging and offcuts, vacuum dust around each opening, protect floors during the work and clean the new glass inside and out. We also explain how to operate and care for the new windows. Any old frames we remove are taken away with us.
Glazing requirements for new homes depend on the energy assessment for the design, and many new homes use double glazing to meet them. Your designer or energy assessor sets the specification, and we install the windows to that specification so the home performs as intended.
