Windows + Doors

Performance youcan see through.

Windows and doors shape daylight, views, comfort, security and heat loss, often in the same decision.

Explore frames, glazing, entrance systems and the installation details that make them work.

Why glazing matters

Light, warmth andcomfort in one decision.

Glazing is where heat, daylight, sound and security all meet. Well-specified and well-installed windows improve comfort year round; poorly installed ones undermine an otherwise good building fabric.

01
Frame and glass work together
Performance depends on the whole unit — glazing, spacers and frame — not the glass alone.
02
Installation is part of the product
The seal between frame and wall determines whether a window performs as specified.
03
Think about orientation
The same window behaves differently on a north or south elevation, which affects glazing and shading choices.
04
Plan for living with it
Opening styles, reach, cleaning and maintenance all shape how a window feels in daily use.

What to think about

Key decisionsfor windows and doors.

Windows are a long-term investment. These considerations tend to matter most when comparing options.

Thermal performance
Frames and glazing units vary widely, so compare whole-window performance rather than headline figures.
Frame materials
Timber, aluminium, composite and clad options differ in slimness, maintenance and appearance.
Airtight installation
Tapes, sealing systems and a properly prepared opening make the difference between design and delivered performance.
Solar gain and shading
Useful winter sunlight and unwanted summer overheating are both influenced by glazing choice and shading.
Opening styles and security
Hardware, opening direction and locking affect ventilation, safety and everyday convenience.
