Guide to Thermally Broken Windows

Thermally broken windows and doors are a game-changer in energy efficiency and insulation. They offer a smart solution for achieving energy efficiency standards without sacrificing design, performance, or ease of installation. Designed with a non-conductive barrier between the interior and exterior frames, they significantly reduce heat transfer, keeping your home or building comfortable year-round. By minimising energy loss, they not only help lower energy costs but also contribute to a more sustainable, eco-friendly environment. Ideal for both residential and commercial projects, thermally broken windows and doors are the perfect blend of performance, durability, and modern design.

Guide to Thermally Broken Windows and Doors

What does thermally broken mean?

Thermally broken is a type of frame engineered to enhance the thermal insulation of buildings. A window or door with a thermal break is constructed with two or more sections of the frame that are separated by a thermally insulating material. It acts as a barrier, preventing the direct transfer of heat between the inner and outer parts of the frame.

You can find Trend's WERS ratings on the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) website.

WERS provides a reliable, independent assessment and labeling system for windows, evaluating their annual energy impact on homes across Australia. WERS ratings serve as a credible and rigorous framework for testing performance claims, ensuring transparency for consumers. Windows that receive WERS ratings must comply with all relevant Australian standards.
