When we think of insulation we think automatically of pink batts, says Tony Barilaro, Director of Ryleho Group.
“But what about those great big holes in the wall of your house, which we call windows and doors? Did you know that 25-30 per cent of energy loss in your home is lost through poor windows and doors?”
With the ever-increasing cost in electricity prices, many home owners are looking at ways to reduce their electricity bill as well as help the environment. That is where Ryleho Group, a Queanbeyan based family company operating since 1986, can help you with all your double glazing solutions.

Ryleho manufactures a complete range of high quality timber products that are of the highest standard. Their range of products include timber windows and doors specialising in energy efficient double glazing.
Double glazing is two pieces of glass that are sealed together at the perimeter and have an internal air gap ranging from 6mm through to 16mm. The glass thickness is as per Australian Standards and will change according to the size of your window, explained Tony.
“Comfort Plus is a laminated glass, which is coated with a film to assist with insulation and Low E is a similar product but used in a double glaze insulated unit that will improve further the performance of the window.
“Double glazing will not stop the transfer of heat, but will reduce it. The sun generates warmth by emitting short wave radiation and it is short wave radiation that passes through the glass and warms up the interior of the building by being absorbed into the fabric of the structure, e.g. curtains, carpets, furniture, walls,” continued Tony.
“The energy is transformed into long wave radiation. As heat always moves from hot to cold, its means of escape is normally back out through the glass but the low ‘E’ has the ability to reflect these long wave radiations back into the building. This results in a lower winter time ‘U’ value (the measurement of heat loss through a solid object) and a more comfortable home along with lower heating costs.”
