The right windows and doors can transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary. Choosing the perfect ones for your home or project can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the process. That’s why we’ve created this simple, easy-to-follow guide.
Designed as a clear reference, it will help you identify your needs, ask the right questions, and select the ideal windows and doors for your project.
Required wind loads describe the structural and strength requirements your windows and doors must meet based on your site and construction types.
Window restrictions and screening are now mandatory in specific applications to help reduce the incidences of small children falling from windows.
There are now mandatory window and door requirements for homes and buildings located in bushfire-prone areas.
Houses located in a transport noise corridor must comply with minimum acoustic requirements, meaning your windows and doors need to match or exceed the required Rw rating. (It’s important to note that glass-only Rw ratings are non-compliant.)
All manufacturers are required to supply windows and doors with performance labels attached to them.
These labels confirm that the products are certified to comply with relevant standards and regulations.
In addition, all suppliers must be able to verify compliance by providing a Certificate of Compliance on request.
