When planning a renovation or new build in Australia, window compliance is often overlooked, but it shouldn’t be. With updated requirements in the 2022 and 2025 editions of the National Construction Code (NCC), and growing focus on energy efficiency, insulation and bushfire safety, it’s crucial to ensure every window in your home meets current Australian standards.

The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) enables windows and glazed doors to be rated and labelled according to their annual energy impact on a house in any Australian climate. WERS is managed by the Australian Glass and Window Association and complies with the protocols of the Australian Fenestration Rating Council.

Windows are often one of the greatest contributors to energy loss in Australian homes. Choosing the right energy-efficient window solution can reduce heating and cooling demand, improve indoor comfort and help meet modern energy standards.

Windows are long-term investments that require regular maintenance to keep them functioning safely and efficiently. Exposure to wind, rain, sunlight and seasonal changes can degrade seals, frames, and moving parts over time—particularly in Australia’s varied climates.

When it comes to building or renovating a home, few elements are more critical to energy performance, weather protection and comfort than correctly installed windows. With tighter regulations under NCC 2025 and growing awareness of sustainable building practices, getting window installation right is now a non-negotiable part of any quality construction project.

Window frames are an often-overlooked component of the home when it comes to maintenance but they shouldn’t be. Well-maintained frames support the function, appearance and energy performance of your windows, helping protect your investment for years to come.

Windows play a vital role in both the aesthetics and energy efficiency of Australian homes. However, they’re often overlooked when it comes to regular maintenance. Whether you’re a homeowner, builder or renovator, keeping window glass in top condition is essential for long-term performance, compliance and curb appeal.

Windows are a major investment in any residential project, whether you're building new or renovating. Before installation even begins, how windows are stored, handled and protected can significantly impact their long-term performance, appearance and compliance with Australian standards.

When planning renovations that involve glass—whether it’s windows, doors, balustrades or shower screens—understanding safety glass requirements is essential. Using the right type of safety glass not only keeps your home compliant with Australian building regulations but also protects your family from injury.

As residential building standards continue to evolve, so too does the focus on acoustic comfort. Whether it’s street noise, footsteps on upper floors or sound transfer between rooms, noise can significantly affect liveability, especially in increasingly airtight and compact Australian homes.
