Climate Control
Our double glazed windows and double glazed doors are designed to maintain a comfortable home environment, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, thus reducing heating and air-conditioning costs. We combine advanced German engineering with cutting-edge scientific innovations to offer a smart solution against climate change. With our energy efficient windows, your well-insulated home will be protected from global warming.
The impact of solar energy on building design is often underestimated. For instance, on a sunny January day in Sydney, we measured 7kW of solar energy per hour, enough to power various home appliances, including air conditioners and heaters. This energy heats your home even as you try to cool it. However, using high-quality materials like uPVC double glazed windows and double glazed doors, which resist UV rays, can enhance your home's insulation.
Poorly insulated windows can allow up to 40% of heat or cold to escape, depending on the season. Would you buy an appliance operating at only 60% efficiency? Similarly, if your windows and doors have a poor U-value, your heating and cooling efforts are compromised. The U-value measures a product's ability to prevent heat escape; a lower U-value indicates better insulation.
Single glazed aluminium and wooden windows often have poor sealing, leading to draughts. Even thermally enhanced windows that aren't airtight lose their benefits. Heating or cooling a home with poorly performing windows wastes money. Effective weather sealing is essential, especially in windy areas like coastal or mountainous regions.
If a window isn't airtight, it won't be watertight either. During storms, exposure to wind and water makes poorly sealed windows draughty and leaky. Some Australian regions require impact-resistant windows for cyclone protection. Our double glazed windows and doors offer similar performance, providing your family with enhanced protection and security. These cyclone-proof windows feature safety glass in heavy-duty frames to minimize wind and debris impact.
A broken window during a cyclone allows wind to enter, increasing pressure and causing extensive damage. This pressure difference can result in a building losing its roof or walls. Proper windows deflect wind and direct it around the building, preventing such damage.
Ensure your home's windows and doors are not weak points. Choose uPVC double glazed windows and double glazed doors for structural strength and wind resistance, ideal for emergencies. These windows and doors are a cost-effective alternative to cyclone shutters, ensuring safety, comfort, increased home resale value, and environmental benefits.
