Built for
Australian Conditions
From intense summer heat and coastal weather to heavy rain, strong winds and large seasonal temperature changes, Australian buildings face very different conditions depending on where they are located.
A window or door is not simply there to close an opening. It forms part of the building envelope, helping manage wind pressure, rain, uncontrolled air movement and structural loads.
Australia spans tropical, subtropical and temperate climates, with significant differences in temperature, humidity and rainfall across the country. Severe weather can also bring damaging winds and intense rainfall.
That is why our window and door systems are performance tested to AS 2047, using the test methods of AS/NZS 4420.1.
Strong Winds & Storms
Wind pressure can cause frames, mullions and sashes to bend or distort. Deflection Test confirms the frame remains within allowable deformation under service wind pressure.
Extreme Wind Loads
Severe wind events can place substantially higher structural loads on the complete window or door assembly. Ultimate Strength Test verifies the assembly can withstand high positive and negative pressures without structural failure.
Heavy & Wind-Driven Rain
Rain driven against the façade can enter through seals, joints, tracks and drainage paths. Water Penetration Test applies water while the unit is subjected to differential pressure to verify resistance to leakage.
Extreme Wind Loads
Uncontrolled air leakage can introduce draughts and place additional load on heating and cooling systems. Air Infiltration Test measures how much air passes through the closed window or door under pressure.
Test Reports & Compliance
Independently tested
Our qualification file brings together independent laboratory testing and supporting certification for Glazed Frog window and door systems.
Selected performance testing has been undertaken by accredited laboratories, providing traceable evidence of product performance against relevant Australian and international test requirements.
Tested by Beijing Building Materials Testing Academy Co., Ltd, a CNAS-accredited laboratory recognised through the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement.
