Manufactured Locally
Our production facility in Sydney is highly advanced, far surpassing those used by our competitors in China and India. We incorporate innovative manufacturing techniques from high-growth industries like nanotechnology, informatics, pervasive computing, analytical instrumentation, and opto-electronics. This enables production automation and emphasizes service through staff education and training.
We have identified significant defects in double glazed windows and double glazed doors, or their parts imported from China and India, regardless of the brand. These products often have numerous faults, omissions, flaws, and oversights, making them unattractive or even dangerous. Our specialized team of technicians repairs these products when no one else will.
Savvy consumers who learn from others' mistakes should consider:
Glass: Imported glass often has streaking, looping effects, or contaminated inclusions, affecting visibility. Ensure doors have safety glass as per Australian Standards. Float glass in doors can be dangerous in accidents, and bathroom windows should have obscure safety glass. Imported products often substitute cheaper alternatives for the correct glass, compromising safety and quality. The cost of replacing broken units and transportation outweighs any savings from importing glass.
Frame/Profile: Imported double glazed windows and doors often have thin, non-reinforced frames, making them ineffective for noise insulation and energy efficiency. Most imported uPVC double glazed windows and doors use low-grade profiles with inferior chemical composition, including lead and no UV protection. This leads to quick degeneration and structural failures.
Hardware: Hardware from China rarely passes a three-year operational cycle test and lacks corrosion protection, requiring extensive maintenance in coastal areas. Improper hardware installation can cause the sash to fall out of the frame, posing safety risks.

By purchasing from us, you ensure that all components meet Australian Standards. Our sophisticated, high-performance windows and doors offer value for money through cost efficiency and savings passed onto our clients. Buying directly from a local manufacturer eliminates the need for a middleman, reduces transportation costs, and supports the local economy.
Our industry is rapidly changing, and we are positioned for sustainable growth by staying close to our customers. We have a competitive advantage over those who import from China and India:
Customization: There is growing demand for double glazed windows and doors customized for noise insulation, energy efficiency, luxury residences, and environmentally friendly buildings.
Collaboration & Commercialization: We collaborate with customers, architects, and builders in new product development, building strong relationships and repeat business. Competitors importing from China are less adaptable to change and customer needs.
Adopting New Technologies & Streamlining Processes: We develop new products using technology from large corporations. By adopting the latest programmable controllers, industrial computers, servo drives, and composite materials, our machinery is always upgraded.
The low prices of Chinese and Indian manufacturers come from inferior components and non-existent quality assessments. Workers in these countries are underpaid and work in poor conditions. By contrast, our staff work in a comfortable environment with strict Occupational Health and Safety standards. Advanced manufacturing methods allow for precision, shorter production times, and re-skilled staff.
Many raw materials are imported as there are no local manufacturers for uPVC window hardware, plastic extrusion, and rubber seals. Our products meet 'Australian Made' criteria due to the labor content of cutting, welding, drilling, screwing, and assembly. Our double glazed windows and doors exceed Australian Standards through careful supplier selection and advanced manufacturing techniques. Competitors reselling windows and doors made in China cannot control quality, leading to additional costs, shipping delays, and long-term maintenance expenses for consumers.
