In the average Australian home, almost half of all energy costs go to heating and cooling, which can be costly when up to 40 per cent of a home’s heating energy can be lost and up to 87 per cent of its heat gained through windows. *

Intelligent window design and glazing choices can reduce the amount of energy needed to keep your home comfortable – warm in winter and cool in summer – while retaining the benefits of natural light and views of the world outside. Working closely with market-leading glass suppliers known for their innovation and quality, we provide our customers with personalised advice and smart glazing options for each unique project, allowing you to live more sustainably.

We can also consult with the accredited assessor of your choice from the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme to support the design of an optimal glazing solution that will suit your home and save you money.

A double-glazed unit is made up of two panes of glass separated by a sealed gap of air or Argon gas. Double glazing is also known as Insulated Glazing Units as the gap between the glass panes creates an insulation break.

Compared to single glazing, double glazing dramatically increases the insulating performance of a window, acting like woollen clothing and fibreglass batts. For superior comfort, all our sashes and doors are finished thicker than industry standard, allowing for secure housing of double-glazed units with optimal 12mm, Argon filled gaps.

These gas-filled gaps further improve the thermal performance of your window compared to smaller gaps or air alone.

Our heritage replica windows combine timeless beauty and traditional joinery methods with modern glazing technology to reduce noise and improve energy efficiency and safety. We use a specialised double-glazing technique that allows us to match the narrow glazing bars used in period styles, delivering superior thermal performance without compromising heritage appearance. We work with a longstanding Melbourne-based leadlight studio to offer authentic restoration, repair, and triple glazing of existing lead lights, retaining the original features of your home while enhancing safety and comfort.

If your existing leadlight is unsalvageable or you are looking to add extra beauty through decorative stained glass, our leadlight supply partner also boasts extensive knowledge and experience designing and creating original leadlight pieces for all period styles.

In our beautiful but busy cities, unwanted noise can quickly become an irritant. Whether it is the outside noise of trains, planes, or automobiles, the excited chatter of children, or office hustle and bustle, noise can significantly impact our ability to work, relax or sleep. To soften noise, the sound insulation properties of the glass as well as the window design and configuration need to be considered. When it comes to timber species, the champion of natural, acoustic window materials, Western Red Cedar, delivers impressive sound insulation.

Good sealing of your windows and doors is also vital. If air can get in, so can noise. All our windows are fitted with compression seals and crafted to ensure the best possible seal between sash and frame.

The acoustic properties of glass are affected by how thick the glass is, secondary or double glazing versus single glazing, and for laminated products, the characteristics of the interlayer.

Contact us to discuss specialised acoustic laminated glazing products that can dramatically improve sound insulation. This engineered glass can also be customised to incorporate energy efficient options or combined in an energy saving double-glazed unit for the ultimate in sound and thermal comfort.

Like everything we do, we are ahead of industry standards as we strive to deliver you superior safety and comfort.

At the very least, all our glazing complies with the Australian standard for glass in buildings, and wherever possible we use grade A safety glass, which reduces the risk of injury, even if this is not technically required.
