Our latest heritage window project is now complete, combining the traditional look of colonial-style windows with the performance of modern aluminium framing and double glazing.

Featuring Alspec aluminium framing with custom Controllaview internal colonial bars sealed inside the double glazed units, giving the classic heritage appearance while keeping the glass surfaces smooth and easy to clean.

Most importantly, the upgrade was completed while keeping the existing Tyrolean exterior finish intact, maintaining the original character of the building.

A great example of how you can upgrade the comfort, efficiency and performance of an older property without losing what makes it unique.

8 Window Myths… Busted.

When it comes to choosing new windows, there’s a lot of outdated advice floating around.

Let’s clear a few things up…

Myth: Double glazing is all you need.
Fact: The complete window system—including the frame, glass, coatings, spacer and installation—determines how well it performs.

Myth: Aluminium windows are always cold.
Fact: Modern thermally broken aluminium windows are designed to deliver excellent thermal performance.

Myth: Low-E glass makes your home dark.
Fact: It helps reduce heat transfer while still letting in plenty of natural light.

Myth: Window ratings don’t matter.
Fact: WERS ratings help you compare real performance before you buy.

Myth: The most expensive window is always the best.
Fact: The best window is the one that’s suited to your home, orientation, climate and budget.

Myth: If it doesn’t leak air, it’s a great window.
Fact: Comfort also depends on insulation, solar control, daylight and the quality of the complete window system.

Myth: All installers are the same.
Fact: Even the highest-performing window can underperform if it’s installed poorly.

Great windows aren’t about chasing the most expensive option—they’re about choosing the right system for your home.

How do you actually read a WERS label?

Most people compare windows by asking:

❌ “Is it double glazed?”

But that’s only part of the story.

A WERS label gives you a much clearer picture of how a window will actually perform in your home.

Here’s what to look for:

🔹 U-Value – How well the window insulates your home. (Lower is better.)

🔹 SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) – How much of the sun’s heat enters through the glass. The ideal value depends on your home’s orientation and climate.

🔹 Air Leakage – Measures how much unwanted air can pass through the window system. Lower air leakage helps improve comfort and energy efficiency.

🔹 Visible Transmittance (VT) – Shows how much natural daylight passes through the glass.

⭐ Performance Grade – An easy snapshot of the window’s overall energy performance.

The next time you’re comparing quotes, don’t just ask if the windows are double glazed…

Ask to see the WERS rating.

Understanding these numbers can help you choose windows that are more comfortable, more energy efficient and better suited to your home.

Heritage style. Modern performance.

Another heritage project is underway at Performance Windows, featuring custom aluminium windows with internal colonial bars sealed inside the double-glazed unit.

You get the timeless look of traditional colonial bars without the hassle of cleaning around external glazing bars. With the bars protected inside the insulated glass unit, both glass surfaces remain completely smooth, making cleaning quick and easy while maintaining a true heritage appearance.

A big thank you to Controllaview for supplying these premium internal colonial bar units.

If you’re restoring a heritage home or simply love the classic colonial look, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Not all double glazed windows perform the same.

One of the biggest misconceptions we see is that if a window is double glazed, it must be energy efficient.

The reality is that two windows can both be double glazed and perform very differently.

The two numbers to understand are:

• U-Value – how well the window insulates your home.

• SHGC – how much of the sun’s heat enters through the window.

When you understand these two numbers, you’ll make a much better investment in your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
