When considering how to improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency, your choice of windows is crucial. For Australian homeowners who face hot summers and cool winters, thermally broken aluminium windows are an excellent solution. They not only enhance living comfort but can also help you save on energy bills.

‍

What is Thermal Break Technology?

‍

Simply put, thermal break technology involves inserting a special polyamide bar (like PA66) between the inner and outer parts of the aluminium frame. This "thermal break" effectively blocks the transfer of heat between the inside and outside of your home. Think of it like an insulating layer in a thermos, but for your windows, helping to maintain a more constant temperature indoors.

4 Core Benefits of Thermally Broken Aluminium Windows for Your Home

‍

1. Year-Round Comfort & Energy Savings

Traditional aluminium frames can conduct heat rapidly, making interiors uncomfortably hot in summer and letting valuable warmth escape in winter. The thermal break design disrupts this heat flow, significantly improving the window's insulation. This means your air conditioner and heater don't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, which translates directly to lower electricity bills. This is a significant advantage for energy-conscious Australian households.

‍

2. Effective Noise Reduction for Peace & Quiet

The thermal barrier doesn't just block heat; it also helps dampen sound transmission. If you live near a busy street, airport, or in a noisy neighbourhood, installing thermally broken aluminium windows can create a much quieter and more peaceful indoor environment, allowing for better rest and relaxation.

‍

3. Reduced Condensation to Protect Your Home

On a chilly morning, have you ever noticed water droplets forming on your window frames? This is condensation. It occurs when warm, moist indoor air meets a cold surface. Excessive condensation can lead to frame damage, mould growth on walls, or rotting timber sills. Thermally broken aluminium windows have warmer frames, significantly reducing the chance of condensation and protecting your home's interior.

4. Strength, Durability & Stylish Appeal

Aluminium is renowned for its high strength and corrosion resistance. Our GL thermally broken aluminium windows use high-quality aluminium and Australia-famous brand components (like Anthony rollers and Doric hardware), ensuring they can withstand the diverse Australian climate for years to come.

Aesthetically, we offer a variety of colours and surface finishes (GL adopts Interpon powder coating). You can even choose dual-colour frames with different tones to perfectly complement your home's architectural style, achieving a perfect blend of form and function. At the same time, our full range of products can be used as thermal insulation doors and windows, providing you with more choices.

GL Thermally Broken Aluminium Windows: Glazing Options

‍

To further enhance performance, you can choose different glazing options:

Double Glazing: Features an insulating layer of Argon gas between two panes of glass, a standard choice for improved thermal insulation.

Low-E Glass: Has a microscopic coating that helps keep heat in during winter and out during summer, boosting energy efficiency.

Toughened Safety Glass: Much stronger than standard glass and shatters into small, granular pieces if broken, making it a safe and mandatory requirement for doors and windows.

‍

Understanding Performance Ratings: The U-Value

‍

When selecting windows in Australia, you'll likely come across the term "U-value". It measures the rate of heat loss through a window. Remember: The lower the U-value, the better the window insulates. Our GL thermally broken aluminium window systems are designed to deliver excellent whole-window U-values（About 1.9）, helping your project meet local energy efficiency requirements.
