Select Door Type When choosing a door, think about what is important to you and what you require. You may consider energy efficiency, sound reduction, ventilation, safety and security. Where will this door be located in your home? For example, you may want bi-folding doors ideal for the entertainment area, or would a sliding stacking door be a better solution to save space and cost? Or perhaps you want to go all French, with doors that swing open to your beautifully landscaped gardens? Select Window Type There are several styles of windows and the one that is most appropriate can depend on the factors most important to you. Consider the amount of space available for the window and it s location in the home. What is the wind classification of your home? - Ask your builder or council. What level of security do you require? All our windows are fitted with key fasteners as standard and we can screen any style of window or door. How do you want your window to operate manually sliding up or down or mechanically wind out? For example, louvre windows, or double hung windows may be ideal for your bathroom or kitchen, or you may choose bi-fold windows ideal for a kitchen servery, breakfast bar or entertainment area. Do you require maximum ventilation or do you want to open your windows during inclement weather without bringing it inside? You may be concerned about which window looks best on the outside when opened.
