uPVC Colours
Add some colour to your project.
The system provider uses a special manufacturing technique to apply the décor lamination foil on the uPVC window profiles. This technique guarantees an even structure, a uniform colour, as well as maximum weather resistance while meeting the highest requirements regarding climatic influences.
Choose between a range of different decor laminations and designs.
Glass Options
Double glazing is a modern way to insulate a building and to primarily prevent heat loss. Instead of having one layer of glass, double glazed windows consist of two panes. The secret to double glazing being such a good insulator is a tiny gap between the two layers of glass, usually filled with argon, xenon, or krypton. The gas inside double glazed windows reduces the transfer of heat by convection. It basically lowers the rate at which the heat energy escapes from one side to the other.
All glass options are delivered as sealed units and are installed and adjusted by our Sydney based team of professionals. All glass (except Integrated Blinds) can be fitted with colonial grids or filled with argon gas. Our double-glazed windows and doors, and uPVC frames, are manufactured to size in our Sydney factory.
This is the most economic and popular glass type and provides all the basic thermal insulation and soundproofing needs.
Thickness available are 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. Clear glass also comes in a toughened type.
Tinted glass has been darkened to reduce the amount of the suns UV rays that enter your home.
Different Tints are available: Titanium, Grey, Blue, Green, Bronze.
Obscure glass is also known as frosted glass and is typically used in bathrooms where privacy and light is required.
Thicknesses available are 4mm, 5mm and 6mm. Obscure glass also comes in a toughened version.
Acoustic requirements are met typically by using thicker types of glass.
For example, to achieve maximum soundproofing properties, a window or door can be fitted with a double-glazed unit of glass where the outside sheet is 10mm and the inside sheet is 6mm thick.
Special studio quality SoundControl glass can be used in severe cases.
Generally, the more panes of glass used, the better insulating properties a window will have.
In addition to the number of layers, the chemical makeup of the glass itself can determine its energy efficiency. Low-E glass, which is glass with low levels of iron, helps reduce the amount of infrared heat absorbed from the hot Australian sun. This means less heat inside your home on sunny days.
Low-e (Low Emissivity) glass is used to improve the thermal properties of windows and doors. The glass is typically used on North facing walls in Australia and helps a home retain warmth by allowing long energy waves (heat) to enter the house through the windows and doors and prevent these waves leaving. Good for warming cold houses.
Bushfire glass is basically toughened glass with Low-e glazing on the inside surface.
The outside pane of toughened is usually 10mm. This combination provides the best heat resistance.
Toughened or laminated glass is required by law to be installed in all door systems and wet areas where the window is less than 2m from the floor.
Thickness available are 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm & 12mm. Toughened glass is also known as Safety glass. All glass types come in toughened variety.
