⚠️ A recent independent study has highlighted a growing concern within the Australian building industry.
In March this year, eight low cost Chinese imported window and door systems were independently tested against Australian Standard AS2047 by an accredited third-party testing facilitator. Alarmingly, seven of the eight products failed to meet the required performance standards.
Why does this matter?
Windows and doors are designed to protect your home from Australia’s harsh and unpredictable climate. When products fail to perform as required, the consequences can extend far beyond the windows themselves. Water pe*******on, structural damage, flooring issues, internal wall damage, mould growth and costly repairs can all result from products that aren’t fit for Australian conditions.
What may seem like a saving upfront could potentially lead to tens of thousands of dollars in rectification costs down the track.
At Hanlon Windows, every product we manufacture is designed specifically for Australian homes and conditions. Our systems are fully tested and compliant with AS2047, giving homeowners, builders and architects confidence that they’re installing products built to perform.
When choosing windows and doors, don’t just compare the price tag. Consider the long term performance, compliance, and protection of your investment.
