GLAZING
We take a unique approach to our door and window glazing where you can integrate our glass options and shading system together in any of our single, double or triple glazed systems to create your unique product.
​
Our glass option is unique and can provide the following:
-
Glass thickness from 5 - 20mm thick.
-
Glass Coating - Laminated, Low-e coated and tinted glass
-
Special glass - Fireproof glass, sound-proof and burglar-proof glass.
Our shading options are:
-
Frosted glass
-
Switch glass
-
Integrated blinds with double, triple glazing systems.

GLAZING SYSTEMS
SINGLE GLAZING
This features a single sheet of glass from 5mm to 20mm thick, depending on the opening size. Single glazing is the worst performing option for energy efficiency if no performance glazing options are added. Performance can be dramatically improved by specifying different performance glazing which can lower the rate of heat transfer. However, in spaces which utilise gas heating, condensation on the glass can be an issue, and therefore we recommend using single glazing only in ancillary spaces like sheds, storage areas or cellars.
DOUBLE GLAZING
A double glazed unit features two sheets of glass with an inert gas space sandwiched between them. The benefits include good thermal and acoustic performance together with the opportunity to integrate additional options. By adding a micro blind between the two sheets of glass you increase performance by providing superior shading with the added benefit of privacy. You also can include the option of performance glass to further negate thermal loss. Double glazing is highly recommended for all climate conditions with the exception of extreme climate regions. Other benefits include:
-
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
-
Reduces outdoor noise
-
Durable with low maintenance
-
Increases the value of your house
-
Less condensation on your windows
TRIPLE GLAZING
Triple glazing is the gold standard for thermal performance and provides excellent acoustic qualities, reducing noise. This system can be integrated with other options and is highly recommended in locations which experience extreme climate conditions.
​
Does upgrading to double or triple glazing cost more?
The additional cost of using an efficient system can be recovered through energy savings and lower maintenance costs within three to five years, contingent on the optimum system being installed. For example we recommend double glazing in Sydney as opposed to triple glazing (other than for acoustic applications), as the temperature variations are not extreme enough to warrant the extra cost to install triple glazing. Our recommendation is to use double glazing instead of single glazing in most applications, as longer term the ongoing savings outweigh an initial higher price.
OUR FRAMES
10-YEAR WARRANTY
Non-Thermal Frames: are standard aluminium frames with no barrier to stop heat transfer from outside to inside (or vice versa). These are not recommended for an exposed north or west facing facade, as heat transfer makes the windows and doors very inefficient. They are suitable under a protected facade in regions which do not have high temperature fluctuations.
Thermal Frames: provide an integrated insulated sub frame which separates the inside from the outside sections, thus providing excellent thermal insulation. Advanced manufacturing technologies and economies of scale, now allows us to offer this more energy efficient solution at a minor premium to the cost of a Non Thermal Frame. Opting for the Thermal Frame for your glazing will provide substantial savings over the life of the window or door. We strongly recommend Thermal Frames for all projects.
