In Australia, doors and windows are more than just architectural features — they are critical elements that determine a building’s safety, comfort, and energy performance. When it comes to ensuring product quality, the AS2047 certification stands as the official benchmark for compliance in the Australian market. But what exactly does AS2047 mean, and why is it essential for your project? Let’s break it down together with M&C Windows & Door, a certified manufacturer specializing in high-performance window and door systems for Australia and New Zealand.
1. What Is AS2047?
AS2047 is the Australian Standard for Windows and External Glazed Doors in Buildings, established to ensure that all residential and commercial window and door products installed in Australia meet specific performance and safety requirements.
Every product claiming compliance with AS2047 must pass a series of independent laboratory tests covering structural integrity, air infiltration, water penetration resistance, and operating force. Only products that meet or exceed these standards are eligible to be sold legally within Australia.
In other words, AS2047 certification acts as your assurance that the doors and windows installed in your home are designed to withstand Australia’s diverse and often harsh climate — from coastal storms in Brisbane to high winds in Sydney’s high-rises.
2. Why Is It So Important?
Choosing AS2047-certified windows and doors is not just about ticking a regulatory box — it’s about ensuring long-term reliability, comfort, and safety.
Here’s why it matters:
Structural Performance: Tested for wind pressure resistance to protect homes in high-rise or coastal areas.
Air Tightness: Prevents unwanted air leaks, improving indoor comfort and reducing energy bills.
Water Tightness: Ensures no leakage during heavy rainfall or storms.
Operating Force: Guarantees smooth and safe opening or closing for daily use.
Non-certified products might look similar but can fail under real-world conditions — leading to leaks, drafts, or even safety risks. That’s why Australian builders, developers, and architects always prioritize certified systems for residential and commercial projects alike.
