New Year, New Windows and Doors to Start 2026 with a Fresh View
If your current windows and doors feel tired, drafty or simply dated, you are not alone. Across Australia, more than 60% of homes were built before modern energy-efficiency standards were introduced in 2003, meaning millions of Sydney households are literally leaking money through outdated single glazing and poor sealing. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that heating and cooling account for around 40% of the average household’s energy use and in Greater Sydney, that can translate to an extra $800–$1,200 a year on power bills for a typical family home1. That said, upgrading to energy-efficient windows and energy-efficient doors can cut those costs by up to 40%2 according to the independent YourHome.gov.au guide, which means real money back in your pocket.
This summer, embrace the indoor-outdoor flow with aluminium windows and aluminium doors; and timber windows and timber doors that combine sleek, modern lines with serious performance. Perfect for year-round comfort, double-glazed windows and double-glazed doors block up to 70% of heat transfer, while slashing outside noise by up to 40%3. For ultimate ventilation and that quintessential Australian breeze, our louvre windows remain a timeless favourite, allowing you to capture every whisper of summer, without compromising security or style. Add bi-fold doors or sliding doors that stack neatly away, transforming your living room into an extension of your deck or courtyard, ideal for summer barbecues and long balmy evenings.
