Hello gmohitg,
Are you interested in these purely from an Aesthetic point of view?
There are several suppliers that can now offer a "timber-look" powdercoat option from a company called DecoWood.
You can…

Hello Gaudi,
Adding the tint afterwards will always increase the risk of thermal stress/cracking - however in toughened glass its very unlikely to occur.
I would suggest contacting your window supplier to…

Hello Gaudi,
Are these going to be new windows or existing ?
If these are new products you can specify laminated glass as part of the IGU which can assist in reducing…

Hi Pearz,
It depends on your system, but typically an Aluminium window is very difficult to retrofit the double glazed unit into unless it was designed to take it. The other…

Hi mummers_farce,
Unfortunately this is an issue with most open-in style windows. Your two best options are probably external fixed screens, or retractable internal screens, However the external screens will tend…

Hi Beazley77,
In general, awnings are a better option as they provide a better seal than that of a sliding window. Depending on the window system you opt for, Awnings provide…

Hi Art,
You will definitely struggle to find something that big in a manufacturer’s standard size.
Whichever product you decide to proceed with you will need to carefully think about the handling…

Hi Tradeup,
Have you considered a composite system? (i.e. Aluminium Clad Hardwood Windows) This way you will get the interior decor and feel of a timber window as well as the…

Hi newstart2day,
It depends what you are trying to achieve - and what the cavity is filled with(air, argon etc.) - but typically around 12-14mm is the optimum for thermal performance.
Don't…

Agree with Ed,
Any external coating on, even if on a Double glazed unit is a real nuisance.
Whilst it will give you better thermal properties it will become 'dirty' noticeably…

Hello Sarix,
We make a FSSF configuration double glazed sliding door in an Aluminium Clad composite frame.
shoot us an email at info@miglas.com.au and i will send you through…

Hi tjilpi,

Please accept my sincere apologies that your experience with our company has not been satisfactory.
I feel this is something definitely out of the ordinary as we pride ourselves…

Dear Ed,
I think it's not worth arguing about a U Value of 10 or 8 - no matter what you said before - it's both not good. Aluminium only frames…

Dear Ed,
I disagree and would say high performance double glazing starts at under a U-Value of 3 and not above. It's funny what it's called high performance nowadays - there…

Dear Bronco,
I think it’s a very sensible decision to go double glazing. The further south you go in Australia the more important double glazing becomes. Just because you can get…

Dear Bam,
The only thing I can say when just using WERS to compare windows, please be aware that you work with a very limited amount of figures that are calculated…

Dear Purpleninja,
the system we prefer is only working when your finger is actually on your hand (body temperature required). If you should get forced to use it, you just have…

Helyn/ Ed,
30 minutes flushing 3 times a day should do the trick in regard to healthy room environment. It's just about putting you into the driving seat regarding ventilation and…

Argon should be possible soon for less than 50$ if you have the right supplier. Please keep in mind it's still glass after all. Not knowing you system the security…

Hi Neil100,
I don’t know the company, but I had a look at the homepage. I don't know what you are after, but it doesn't look like there are into double…

8mmm air gap is not really a preferable double glazing unit. Laminated glass has the advantage that cuts out 99% of the UV plus it has a better noise insulation…

Dear Lorette, Dear Ed,
Locks on many chain winders are more of a joke anyway given that they are fixed with two tiny screws. Additional locks besides the winder itself are…

Dear Reaver,
I can just agree with windowexpert. That's why multi-point locking will become standard in the next few years (OK probably more 15 years).
There are a few manufacturers in…

LOL - that was all a very good read. Sorry though that it turned out to be such hassle for you with a very odd solution.
With deadlocks we have to…

I prefer the finger scanner option. No one can steel the finger and I can't loose it.
Remotes get lost I have to get them out of my pocket. The finger…

Dear Loretta,
I can understand your frustration with chain winders. We have decided to go without a chain winder on all manually operated awnings. On the other hand the maximised ventilation…

Dear Sveta,
It's hard to just give advice as colours are chosen more to personal liking than anything else.
Did you already decide what window system you use? Do you have the…

Problem with sliding doors or windows is that they don’t seal properly. That has nothing to do with the fact that they are open or not. Constant air leakage means…

Dear Casa,
I checked with Viridian Glass and it is correct that toughened glass is a little bit easier to be scratched, but in saying that all glazing can be scratched…
