Windows and glazed doors are the cornerstone of any effective strategy to meet the 7-Star NatHERS performance requirements for new builds.
As compliance with these regulations can often lead to financial strain due to the need for costly energy efficiency upgrades, finding a cost-effective aluminium window and door solution is crucial.
And this is the aim of the game-changing Thermal Star™ range – to provide you with a way to achieve affordable 7-star performance.
To demonstrate the efficacy of the Thermal Star™ range we set up a test. We compared the performance of single storey and double storey display homes with and without Thermal Star™ 150 Series thermally improved aluminium windows and doors. In every other way the houses were as similar as possible.
