Hawkes Bay Window UV Protection and Insulation  FAQ

1. What is Thermal Glass Coat  and how does it work?
The coating is a liquid that we apply to the inside of the window, it 'self levels' and chemically bonds to the glass so the window keeps it's glass like feel, and look.
It has a very slight blue/green tint so will not reduce the light entering the room.
It works by absorbing the heat forming a 'heat barrier' similar to a heat curtain, reduces the heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, resulting in a more comfortable living space.
