Structure

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.

As Australia’s building codes tighten and homes become increasingly airtight, ventilation has moved from being an optional add-on to a critical component of residential design. With the release of the updated National Construction Code (NCC 2025) and growing awareness around indoor air quality, effective ventilation is now central to both building compliance and occupant wellbeing.

Awning windows are a practical and stylish window option for many Australian homes. Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom, they offer excellent ventilation, weather protection and privacy—all in a compact, versatile design

Casement windows are a classic window style that continues to suit both modern and traditional Australian homes. Hinged at the side and opening outwards like a door, casement windows offer excellent airflow, unobstructed views and secure ventilation, making them a strong option when planning a build or renovation.

Double hung windows remain a popular choice in Australian homes due to their timeless design, flexible ventilation options and increasing alignment with modern energy efficiency standards. As Australia's renovation and building industries continue to evolve under new environmental and design expectations, double hung windows have been adapted to meet these contemporary needs.

Once considered a niche option, uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) windows are now a mainstream choice for Australian homes. Known for their energy efficiency, durability and low maintenance, these window systems are increasingly favoured by builders, renovators and designers alike.

Well-chosen window glass contributes significantly to year-round comfort and reduces reliance on artificial heating and cooling. With energy costs rising and updated building regulations in place, selecting the right glazing is more important than ever.
