Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is a must. All of our window and door systems have been tested to and meet all the relevant New Zealand Standards. However quality assurance cannot just stop there. All the manufacturers and installers of our windows and doors are members of the Window Association of New Zealand and due to changes in technology and building methods they are continuously improving their manufacturing practices.

Life Cycle Costing

Cost is always a challenge when building. The life cycle cost of aluminium joinery is excellent, aluminium joinery has tremendous longevity and is very low maintenance. Future proofing is important when considering the life cycle of your aluminium joinery. Options such as double-glazing, vented windows and a higher quality of hardware may also add value to life cycle costing process.
