In recent years, Australian homeowners have been rediscovering the joy of sunrooms — bright, open extensions that connect indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors.
Whether it’s a Sydney coastal villa, a Melbourne suburban home, or a Brisbane backyard, a modern sunroom adds not only value to a property but also quality to everyday life.
However, when planning to build or renovate a sunroom, one crucial factor is often overlooked — AS2047 certification, the official Australian Standard for windows and doors.
So what exactly is AS2047, and why does it matter so much when creating a high-performance sunroom?
1. What Is AS2047 and Why It Matters
AS2047 is the mandatory national standard that defines performance requirements for all windows and external doors used in Australian buildings.
It tests and certifies products based on four key criteria:
Air Infiltration — to prevent dust and hot or cold air from leaking in.
Water Penetration — ensuring no leaks under heavy rain and wind.
Structural Performance — to withstand high wind loads, especially in coastal or high-rise environments.
Operating Force— ensuring smooth, durable use over time.
For any sunroom addition, especially those with large glass areas, AS2047 certification guarantees that the installed windows and doors meet Australia’s strict energy and safety requirements.
2. Choosing AS2047-Certified Sunroom Systems
When selecting windows and doors for your sunroom, look for products that clearly carry the AS2047 label.
Certified systems are tested by accredited laboratories and ensure reliable performance even under extreme weather conditions — a must for cities like Sydney, where salty coastal air and strong winds are common.
Common AS2047-certified options for sunrooms include:
Sliding Doors — ideal for maximizing space and ocean views.
Bi-fold Doors — create an open transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Awning and Casement Windows — improve ventilation while maintaining weather resistance.
Low-E Double or Triple Glazing — improves insulation, reduces UV and heat transfer.
These systems not only enhance energy efficiency but also provide peace of mind knowing they meet Australia’s national performance benchmarks.

Maximize glass area, minimize frame width — for a sleek, contemporary look.
Use Low-E glass and thermal break frames — to improve insulation and comfort year-round.
Pay attention to drainage and sealing details — crucial for long-term weatherproofing.
Plan for natural airflow — combine fixed and operable panels for better ventilation.
By combining these design principles with AS2047-certified products, your sunroom will look beautiful and perform efficiently under Australian conditions.
