The first that likely pops into your mind is aesthetic appeal, and, indeed, a new front door can work wonders for curb appeal. But you don’t want to spend all that money on a new door only to have its beauty quickly deteriorate under the glare of the hot sun. If you own a home in a warm climate, you want to make an educated choice about what material to choose for your new exterior doors.

uPVC windows are constructed with the highest precision to keep out water during the rain, storms and even cyclones and have been used many times in marine applications, where their quality is heavily tested. They are far more waterproof than other types of windows as they dont absorb moisture. Double glazed windows and doors will not leak (a common complaint of many owners of aluminium sliding windows) nor will they be damaged by water and rot (a potential problem with wooden windows) The profile system we use also offers long lasting, high quality gaskets, which wont stretch or suffer from colour migrations, which enable the windows to withstand extreme wind and rain conditions. The system is also capable of accepting a variety of glazing options and insulated panel which enable thermal and acoustic performance criteria to be met, tailored to customer specification. One of the main features of our window and door systems is their resistance to driving rain & their joint tightness. They are designed to be water tight when tested to 300PA, the criteria that is used when assessing Australian Standards. In fact, test results show that most of our window types perform well above the minimum standard.
