Have you ever wondered why we are so reliant in Australia on Air-Conditioning in Summer and Heating in Winter? The FRAME of a window (our glazing) has a significant impact on the overall energy efficiency of any glazing system (Windows, Doors etc.) – including that of double-glazing itself.

While double glazing is seen as a benchmark for energy efficiency, to select double glazing with a standard aluminium frame is only going halfway to achieving a high performing energy efficient window! We expand on this topic and explain how important glazing is in the building envelope and to make our built indoor environment more comfortable.
