Casement windows
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.
Glass & glazing
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.

Low-e glass
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.
What are double glazed windows?
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.
Choosing the right window size
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.
How thermal mass affects windows
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.
