No. Timber is a renewable resource and therefore sustainable. It does not require the mining of our limited precious minerals or the huge energy that is needed, to produce some of the other materials on the market today.
We use timber that has been sourced from managed and sustainable forests. The material for any timber product we make, is thoughtfully selected, and nurtured, to protect the well-being and future of our natural environment. The manufacturing process for producing our timber windows and doors is gentle on the environment. It does not require the mining of our limited precious minerals or the huge energy that is needed, to produce some of the other man-made materials on the market today.
Yes, west of Brisbane. Our timber windows and timber doors are Australian made to Australian standards. Our windows and doors are certified to the Australian Glazing Standard AS1288 for your safety. It is our policy ensure our windows and doors to suit the water penetration resistance and structural requirements of Australian Standard AS2047 (on some occasions this is not always possible with unusual architectural designs). Products that have passed strict NATA testing requirements prove our high quality construction methods and weather sealing systems effectively exclude wind and rain.
The size, orientation, glazing treatment and internal coverings of your windows all have a significant impact on the energy efficiency and comfort of your home. For a typically insulated house, the windows provide the greatest opportunity for heat gain or loss, and can account for up to 40% of energy losses. Choosing energy efficient windows is a simple way of improving the comfort of your home, while at the same time saving real money on your energy bill, reducing the green house gas emissions needed to provide that energy, and improving the re-sale value of your home.
