If you're renovating or building and want to improve your home's energy efficiency, Low-E glass is worth considering. Short for low-emissivity glass, this high-performance glazing helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduces energy bills and boosts comfort—all without sacrificing natural light.

Yes, but the benefits vary depending on location. In cooler parts of Australia (like Victoria, Tasmania or the ACT), double glazing significantly improves warmth retention. In hotter areas (like Queensland or northern NSW), it helps prevent heat gain, especially when combined with low-E glass or reflective coatings.

When it comes to designing a home that stays naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, thermal mass plays a big role. But what many homeowners don’t realise is just how much the effectiveness of thermal mass depends on the windows around it.

Well-planned windows improve year-round comfort and reduce reliance on heating and cooling systems. The size and placement of your windows directly influence thermal efficiency, ventilation, and natural lighting.

Horizontal sliding windows (sometimes called sliders) feature two or more sashes that glide sideways on tracks for smooth, space-saving operation. Once favoured for their affordability and size flexibility, they remain a top choice in the Australian residential market. Frames now commonly use aluminium, uPVC and timber; double or even triple glazing is increasingly common.

Aluminium windows have long been a staple in Australian homes—and for good reason. With their durability, minimal maintenance and modern aesthetic, they’ve remained a go-to option for homeowners and builders alike. But as building codes and energy efficiency requirements evolve, so too has the humble aluminium window.
