In Australia, a sunroom has become an essential part of modern home design — a bright, comfortable space that connects indoor living with the beauty of the outdoors. However, designing a sunroom isn’t just about adding more glass panels. Without the right materials and certified systems, issues such as water leakage, air infiltration, and poor insulation can quickly arise. That’s why choosing windows and doors certified under AS2047, the official Australian Standard, is crucial to ensure lasting performance and safety.
1. What Is AS2047 Certification?
AS2047 is the mandatory performance standard for external windows and doors in Australia. It evaluates key criteria such as structural strength, water penetration resistance, air infiltration, and operating performance. Only products that pass AS2047 testing are legally compliant for use in Australian residential and commercial buildings.
For sunrooms, this certification is especially critical. Because of their large glass surface areas, sunrooms are highly exposed to wind loads, temperature changes, and UV radiation. Using uncertified windows can lead to severe problems such as leaks, condensation, or even frame distortion and glass breakage under extreme weather conditions.
2. Why AS2047 Certification Matters for Sunrooms
Sunrooms are often located at the exterior of a home and exposed to direct sunlight, wind, and rain — particularly in Sydney, Brisbane, and coastal cities where weather conditions are intense. AS2047-certified windows and doors guarantee that your system will withstand high wind pressure, remain watertight, and maintain excellent insulation. This not only improves living comfort but also enhances energy efficiency, reducing air conditioning and heating costs.
In addition, most AS2047-certified products use Thermal Break aluminum profiles and Low-E insulated glass, which minimize heat transfer while allowing natural light in. This means your sunroom stays cool in summer and warm in winter, offering comfort all year round.
3. How to Choose the Right AS2047-Certified Windows
Check for official certification – Ensure the product has a verified AS2047 test report with a valid laboratory number.
Consider material performance – Opt for thermal break aluminum frames for superior insulation and durability.
Select experienced manufacturers – Choose brands that provide local measurement, installation, and after-sales service in Australia.
