Wintec Aluminium Windows and Doors Australia has developed a wide range of functional and stylish WERS rated windows designed to meet the high demands for energy efficiency and weather performance.
Utilising modern design, quality seals and hardware componentry, Wintec aluminium framed window and door products meet the high demands for energy efficiency and weather performance in today’s market.
Window performance has become one of the most hotly discussed topics in virtually every residential and commercial project across Australia. The specification of energy-efficient windows has become a key element of sustainable design, with Tony Isaacs, the Principal Project Leader for Sustainable Energy Authority Australia singling out windows as “the make-or-break issue in achieving a good whole-house energy rating.”
Windows must meet mandatory minimum specifications for air infiltration, water penetration and wind loading, which will vary depending on the construction type and site location. Wintec offers windows and aluminium frame systems to suit any location and climate.
The Wintec range includes single glazed sliding windows up to 12.7mm, double glazed windows up to 24mm, as well as awning, double hung, casing and louvre windows, with double glazed options achieving up to 9.5 star WERS rating.
All Wintec designed products are tested to Australian Standards AS2047-1999 to ensure compliance to BCA requirements, and Wintec’s “Specify Wintec” online calculator tool provides easy specification of products for all projects, all regions and all climates.
