FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about double glazing, aluminium frames, thermal breaks, replacements, quotes, lead times and project preparation.

Do you make windows and doors to custom sizes?

Yes. Products are configured for the opening, selected system, glass, hardware and project requirements.

Is all double glazing the same?

No. Performance varies with the frame, seals, glass coatings, pane thickness, cavity, spacers, opening type and installation. Compare whole-window specifications.

What is a thermally broken aluminium frame?

It separates the inside and outside aluminium sections with a low-conductivity material, reducing direct heat transfer through the frame.

Can you replace existing windows in an occupied home?

Replacement is possible in many homes, but access, existing finishes, removal, weatherproofing and make-good requirements must be assessed.

Can existing timber windows be retrofitted with double glazing?

Some can. The timber, sash, rebates, hardware, seals and available glazing depth need inspection before a recommendation is made.

Can windows help reduce traffic noise?

Yes, when the complete acoustic system is selected correctly. Laminated or asymmetric glass, strong seals and suitable frames are often important.

Do you offer bushfire-rated options?

Suitable configurations may be available depending on the documented bushfire requirements and product system.

What should I provide for a quote?

Plans, window schedules, photos, approximate dimensions, site address, project timing and the outcomes you want to improve are useful starting points.
