Energy Efficiency

Energy efficient windows and doors play a crucial role in achieving mandatory national building standards, like the NCC’s 7-star NatHERS rating requirement. Meeting these standards is both important and valuable, contributing to lower heating and cooling costs, improved comfort, and peace of mind that you’re aligned with the National Construction Code. It can be tricky to understand all the moving parts involved with energy efficiency and how they impact a home’s overall sustainability. Covering everything from different glass types like Low-E and double glazing through to frame materials, thermal breaks, and performance measures like SHGC and u-values—and how optimum energy efficiency changes depending on different circumstances—we’re here to make life easy when it comes to energy efficient windows and doors.
