Bi-Fold Windows
Bi-fold windows are considered a wow factor of many homes. Large, and grand, Bi-fold windows feature three or more sashes that connect with hinges to create a concertina-style design. They are fantastic for serving areas and connecting kitchens to outdoor areas. Bi-fold windows are available in a range of colours and sizes.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are dissimilar to other windows as they do not rely on a track or slide. They are hinged from the top and swing outwards like an awning. Awning windows come in a range of sizes with additional lite options.
Fixed Windows
Fixed windows provide light but no airflow. They comprise a fixed sash that does not open, providing only light to a room.
Louvre Windows
Louvre windows have grown in popularity of late. They feature louvred constructions, where a series of glass horizontal glass panels run vertically to the window frame. The louvres can be tilted mechanically or manually to allow or block airflow. They are a fantastic statement piece and are suitable for most home areas, but they are particularly popular in entrances, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
There are pros and cons to consider for each type of door and window. Some will be better suited for an opening than others. Consider not only the design but functionality and also draft.
Doors and Windows Materials
Sliding doors and windows come in timber and aluminium frames; however, the latter is the better choice based on affordability and maintenance requirements. Aluminium sliding doors and windows require no painting and no ongoing maintenance. Plus, they’re more affordable than timber. However, timber sliding doors and windows are more eco-friendly as they are a sustainable source.
You can read more about aluminium sliding doors and windows by reading one of our earlier articles, ‘5 Perks of Opting for Aluminium Windows and Doors’.
Ross’s Discount Home Centre’s aluminium sliding doors and windows
Ross’s Discount Home Centre are stockists of the best aluminium sliding doors and windows in Perth. Our range surpasses Australian Standards to deliver the highest quality possible. Each door and window undergo vigorous testing from the manufacturing line to post-construction. This includes a tensile and compression strength test rig to test durability, strength, and compression to a load cell capacity of 200-500kg.
Doors and Windows Energy Efficiency
Sliding doors and windows can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, allowing you to choose energy-efficient seals and/or glass.
There are various glass options when choosing Doors and windows; some offer higher energy-efficiency ratings than others. Our range, for instance, offers annealed glass, toughened glass, laminated glass, toned glass, low E glass, and double glazing. The latter two offer the highest energy-efficiency provisions.
Low E glass has a thin, transparent metallic coating that reduces the transfer of heat or cold through the glass, meaning in winter, your home stays warmer, and in summer, it stays cooler. Double-glazing glass, on the other hand, consists of two panels of glass that are separated by a layer of air and then sealed. This layer of air creates the insulation break, which in turn, dramatically reduces both heat flow and thermal conductivity.
The energy efficiency provisions significantly impact the door and window selection.
The U Value (Uw) measures how readily a door or window conducts heat. It measures the rate of non-solar heat loss or gains through the assembly. The lower the U Value, the higher the resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value.
The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGCw) measures how readily heat caused by sunlight flows through a window.
With the most important considerations taken into factor, you can confidently place an order for your sliding doors and windows and prepare for their installation.
