Discover the Magic of Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
At VUE Windows, we understand that effective windows do more than just illuminate your space and shield you from the elements. Traditional glass, while essential for letting in light, often falls short in insulation and can be a significant source of heat gain and loss. This is why our Aluplast uPVC windows and doors offer more than just style, transparency and weather resistance. Our products feature a multi-chambered profile and twin weather seals that significantly enhance thermal insulation. When combined with double glazing, these features dramatically reduce heat transfer, immediately lowering heating and cooling costs. Our 5-star energy-efficient windows are designed to keep unwanted temperatures out, ensuring comfort remains inside your home.
Optimal Energy Efficiency
VUE Windows leverages the superior insulating properties of Aluplast uPVC to offer unmatched thermal efficiency in all our window and door systems. These features contribute significantly to maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing energy consumption:
- Superior Thermal Retention: Double and triple glazing options significantly reduce heat transfer.
- Cost-Effective Energy Savings: Lower heating and cooling expenses thanks to enhanced insulation.
- Eco-Friendly Materials: Aluplast uPVC is a sustainable choice, minimising environmental impact.
Enhanced Acoustic Insulation
Our uPVC windows and doors provide excellent noise reduction, making them ideal for noisy or bustling urban properties. Crafted using the latest Aluplast technology, they enhance the tranquility and privacy of any indoor space:
- Significant Noise Reduction: Reduces external noise for a quieter, more peaceful interior.
- Privacy Enhancement: Superior sealing technology minimises sound leaks.
- Customisable Solutions: Available in various styles to meet specific acoustic requirements.
Durability and Design Versatility
Designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate, VUE Windows’ products offer long-lasting durability without sacrificing style. Our uPVC windows and doors, crafted from high-quality Aluplast materials, come in a variety of designs to complement any architectural aesthetic:
- Weather Resistance: Engineered to resist UV rays and corrosion, suitable for coastal and bushfire-prone areas.
- Maintenance-Free Longevity: uPVC does not warp, rot, or fade, ensuring lasting performance.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: Available in multiple colours and finishes to match or enhance your property’s style.

FAQ’s
What is a U-value or U-factor?
U-value measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping. It is a measure of the rate of non-solar heat loss or gain through a material or assembly. U-value ratings generally fall between 2.0-10.0 W/m2.K for Australian products. The rate of heat is indicated in the terms of the U-value of a window assembly which includes the effect of the frame, glass, seals and any spacers. The lower the U-value, the greater a window’s resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. UW is the value for the whole window and because of its importance is usually abbreviated to U, UC is the value at the centre of the glass, and UF is the value for the frame.
What is the difference between the R-value and the U-value?
R-value = Wall and ceiling insulation values
U-value =Windows and other fenestration products
The higher the R-value, the better insulated are the walls and ceilings. The lower the U-value, the better job a window does in keeping out the heat and cold.
What does Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC) mean?
SHGC measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. The SHGC is the fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window, both directly transmitted, and absorbed and subsequently released inward. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits. In very cold climates, windows with very low U-values minimise discomfort. If summer discomfort is expected very low SHGC values should be looked at, but bear in mind that lower SHGCs lead to increased comfort in the summer at the expense of less winter solar warmth.
How does safety glass contribute to security and noise reduction in my home or business?
The robust composition of safety glass makes it difficult to break, offering an added layer of security against potential break-ins. Additionally, its German-engineered design and Australian construction provides excellent sound insulation, helping to shield indoor spaces from external noise, which contributes to a quieter and more peaceful environment.
