Our latest heritage window project is now complete, combining the traditional look of colonial-style windows with the performance of modern aluminium framing and double glazing.
Featuring Alspec aluminium framing with custom Controllaview internal colonial bars sealed inside the double glazed units, giving the classic heritage appearance while keeping the glass surfaces smooth and easy to clean.
Most importantly, the upgrade was completed while keeping the existing Tyrolean exterior finish intact, maintaining the original character of the building.
A great example of how you can upgrade the comfort, efficiency and performance of an older property without losing what makes it unique.

8 Window Myths⌠Busted.
When it comes to choosing new windows, thereâs a lot of outdated advice floating around.
Letâs clear a few things upâŚ
Myth: Double glazing is all you need.
Fact: The complete window systemâincluding the frame, glass, coatings, spacer and installationâdetermines how well it performs.
Myth: Aluminium windows are always cold.
Fact: Modern thermally broken aluminium windows are designed to deliver excellent thermal performance.
Myth: Low-E glass makes your home dark.
Fact: It helps reduce heat transfer while still letting in plenty of natural light.
Myth: Window ratings donât matter.
Fact: WERS ratings help you compare real performance before you buy.
Myth: The most expensive window is always the best.
Fact: The best window is the one thatâs suited to your home, orientation, climate and budget.
Myth: If it doesnât leak air, itâs a great window.
Fact: Comfort also depends on insulation, solar control, daylight and the quality of the complete window system.
Myth: All installers are the same.
Fact: Even the highest-performing window can underperform if itâs installed poorly.
Great windows arenât about chasing the most expensive optionâtheyâre about choosing the right system for your home.

How do you actually read a WERS label?
Most people compare windows by asking:
â âIs it double glazed?â
But thatâs only part of the story.
A WERS label gives you a much clearer picture of how a window will actually perform in your home.
Hereâs what to look for:
đš U-Value â How well the window insulates your home. (Lower is better.)
đš SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) â How much of the sunâs heat enters through the glass. The ideal value depends on your homeâs orientation and climate.
đš Air Leakage â Measures how much unwanted air can pass through the window system. Lower air leakage helps improve comfort and energy efficiency.
đš Visible Transmittance (VT) â Shows how much natural daylight passes through the glass.
â Performance Grade â An easy snapshot of the windowâs overall energy performance.
The next time youâre comparing quotes, donât just ask if the windows are double glazedâŚ
Ask to see the WERS rating.
Understanding these numbers can help you choose windows that are more comfortable, more energy efficient and better suited to your home.

Not all double glazed windows perform the same.
One of the biggest misconceptions we see is that if a window is double glazed, it must be energy efficient.
The reality is that two windows can both be double glazed and perform very differently.
The two numbers to understand are:
⢠U-Value â how well the window insulates your home.
⢠SHGC â how much of the sunâs heat enters through the window.
When you understand these two numbers, youâll make a much better investment in your homeâs comfort and energy efficiency.
