BASIX Compliance

With growing concerns about the environmentally detrimental methods and materials of traditional building practices, the government has introduced special measures to minimize the long-term impact on the environment. By using our double glazed windows and double glazed doors in your home, you will significantly improve your home's energy rating. Double glazing rates higher than single glazing in energy efficiency analysis, and uPVC rates higher than aluminum in terms of thermal performance. Additionally, consider the strategic placement of windows and doors to maximize natural light while limiting exposure to the midday summer sun. Utilize shade from nearby trees, other buildings, orientation, and other factors for optimal results. We also offer consulting and design services to maximize your long-term enjoyment.

The greatest benefit of installing our double glazed windows and doors is the sustainable energy savings that will save you money and help the environment. The larger the glass area and the more windows and doors you have, the greater the benefit. Significant heat loss will affect you regardless of your heater or air conditioner's performance, but insulation will make a difference! It has been popular to insulate roofs, but with up to 40% of heat/cold transfer occurring through windows and doors, ignoring drafty windows and doors would be a mistake.

Our customers report immediate results and benefits after installation, with their homes becoming quieter and more comfortable. Many people mistakenly believe that double glazing is only used in cold climates, but uPVC double glazed windows and doors have been used for decades in new constructions in the desert climates of the Middle East. The reduction in heat loss during winter is matched by the reduction in conductive heat gain in the summer.

In addition to the BASIX legislation, the government is rolling out other improvements to encourage energy efficiency, including the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010, which will come into effect from November 1, 2010, making the disclosure of energy performance of commercial premises mandatory. This information is standardized through the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). Our products are attractive to customers with an environmental conscience and those searching for high-performance attributes. Even if you are just curious and want to learn more, we welcome you to our showroom or factory, where you can learn from our technicians and decide whether our products are appropriate for you. Take advantage of our energy efficiency consultancy service for your residential or commercial property to find out how you can improve your property's rating with double glazing.
