Double Glazing Sydney Climate Control

Our double glazed windows and doors will help keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing heating costs and air-conditioning costs. We utilise the best of German engineering and most innovative of new developments in science to create an ingenious solution to helping alleviate the effects of climate change! Global warming will not reach you in your well insulated home if you have our double glazed windows and doors installed!

The power of the sun in architecture and building and construction is generally underestimated. In one home, we measured 7kW of solar energy per hour on a sunny January day in Sydney, which is enough to run some of your home appliances including air conditioners and heaters. This means that the same amount of energy is heating your home while you are using on an appliance to cool it! But there is no need to feel helpless, because by using high quality building materials such as upvc double glazed windows and doors, that can withstand harsh effects of UV rays and will improve insulation value of your home.

Up to 40% of heat or cold, depending on the season, can be escaping your home through badly insulated windows. Would you buy an appliance if you were told it could only operate at 60% capacity? And yet if your windows and doors have an inadequate u value score, you could be undermining your efforts to cool/ heat your home. U-value measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping. The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value.

One of the main areas of concern for ordinary single glazed aluminium and wooden windows is the insufficient sealing leading to draughts. If the window is not air-tight when closed, even if it is thermally enhanced such as wood, or even double glazed, the air transfer into the home from outside will negate any benefit of a thermally enhanced frame or glass combination. Attempting to heat or cool a home with poorly performing windows that don't close tightly or have gaps will only result in you wasting money heating and cooling the whole suburb. There can not be any climate control inside your home if your windows are draughty. It is critical to have an excellent weather seal, especially in coastal or mountainous areas where the wind can become a destructive force.

Also if it is not air-tight, it will not be water tight either; and in case of a storm where there is exposure to both wind and water, a poorly sealed window will be both draughty and leak water! Some areas of Australia are required to have impact resistant windows for protection against cyclones. Why not get the same performance double glazed windows and doors in your home and offer your family a new level of protection and security? Essentially cyclone-proof windows consist of safety glass (toughened and laminated) in a heavy duty frame, their design and construction seek to minimize the impact of wind and debris associated with a cyclone to you home.

A broken window provides an entry for cyclone wind, entering the dwelling, increases pressure, and damages everything in its path as it tries to find a way out. Such a difference in air pressures can cause a building to lose a roof or a even a wall. To protect against damage it is necessary to deflect wind (and anything it carries) and direct it around the building.

Don't make the windows and doors in your home a weak point in the architecture or construction - consider upvc double glazed windows and doors for structurally strong and wind resistant windows that will serve you equally well in an emergency. Double Glazed Upvc Windows and Doors are a reasonably priced alternative to cyclone shutters, so consider it an investment in your family's safety and comfort, resale value of your home as well as the environment.

Upvc is the ideal frame material due to its inherent qualities of resistance to corrosion, fire, water, and sunlight. Apart from the most obvious applications in coastal areas where salt destroys the appearance and function of aluminium windows, while wooden windows must be specially treated with chemicals or paint, upvc frames have also been used in commercial and industrial applications and in areas of high pollution or for high impact winds. In addition, the upvc composition includes ultra-violet components, which reflect the sunlight and resist damage. The profile will not warp because it contains aluminium or steel reinforcement and wont need to be repainted, chemically treated, polished or cleaned. However, cleaning may be required for glass, intermittently, as desired, which will be necessary regardless of the frame material used. Our upvc Double Glazed Windows and Doors are ideal for the get and forget consumer! The low maintenance factor of upvc windows and doors exceeds that of any other frame material, saves your time and energy for the important things in life!   Greater detail on double glazed low maintenace can be found here

Our Upvc Windows and Doors are ecologically sustainable in many ways: they are 100% recyclable; the non-lead stabilizers make the profile safe for children (upvc products even have medical applications in neonatal care), save energy and carbon emissions by being thermally efficient; do not contribute to deforestation or alumina smelter pollution. Research shows that the most promising potential for lowering environmental impacts of windows is expected to be through the optimisation of the design and specific construction processes, which means increasing the quality of the windows with respect to their main function of saving heating energy in the use phase (e.g. lowering the specific heat loss). Raising the amount of secondary material used, or lowering the amount of material required for the same function, may be another ground for optimization of the constructions.   Continued on the double glazed environmentally friendly page

For windows and doors that do more than just open and close, but actually work for you to reduce your household or office energy bill by utilizing an energy efficient profile system and double glazing. Convenient and comfortable in many ways, they are an essential part of insulating your home or office, for a more sustainable living experience. A standard aluminium sliding window can add 40% heating/ cooling loss in the home. Would you purchase an appliance that can only ever operate at a maximum 60% capacity? But this is essentially what you are doing when your home is poorly insulated! The same high performance extends to acoustic insulation, with a potential reduction of 45dB in our casement, awning, tilt&turn and bifold range. The high-tech weather seal in combination with fusion welding of frames and sashes make the windows completely air and water tight - they have been tested to withstand even cyclone strength winds!   Supplementary advice on double glazed high performance

Our Double Glazed Windows and Doors are difficult to break and when they break, they create a lot of noise. Our window units also come equipped with security systems such as multi-point locks, double-locking handles and hinge-side security devices. Windows made out of upvc, can only be forced open from outside with a great deal of ingenuity, time and physical strength. This is because plastic provides a tighter seal around the glass and it does not shrink like wooden frames sometimes do.   To obtain additional information on double glazed added security

Window Factory Double Glazed Windows and Doors exceed expectations in many hostile environments that are not suitable for other types of materials. Due to the unique properties of upvc, the frame maintains high tensile strength and modulus over a moderate temperature range, low thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical and corrosion resistance to a variety of aggressive substances. In general upvc has good acid and alkali resistance as well as excellent vapour barrier properties and excellent UV resistance. Upvc frames provide many construction advantages due to the material's inherent corrosion resistance, lightweight, ease of fabrication, and other labor-saving characteristics. In addition, upvc frames are high precision and can be manufactured to a tolerable value of +/-3mm, which is ideal for demanding architectural applications.   A complete guide for double glazed corrosion resistance can be found here

We only use quality extrusion that has been rigorously tested for UV radiation in harsh environments in desert or mountain conditions.

There are significant savings in electricity that will pay for your windows in 6-7 years and will reduce your CO2 emissions by about 100-150kg per year. For an indication of energy efficiency of a window or door, look for the U-value or R-value. U-value measures the overall heat transfer coefficient, or how well the window/door conducts heat and is also the inverse of the R-value. The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. Our windows boast a value of 1.8, which means they perform three times better than an aluminium framed window with a typical value of 5.4-5.6. And since windows can contribute to between 15-40% energy loss in a building, installing the most energy efficient windows available should be the intelligent homeowner's priority.   For supplementary material on double glazed draft proof click here
