In Australia, developers choosing windows and doors for large-scale projects must prioritise two key criteria: stable performance and full AS2047 compliance. AS2047 is the mandatory Australian Standard for windows and doors, governing structural safety, weather resistance, and product durability. It is the essential requirement for passing inspections on any residential or commercial project.
With years of export experience and a fully established engineering-grade manufacturing line, MC Windows & Doors has become a trusted supplier for Australian developers. This article breaks down the core AS2047 performance requirements and explains how MC’s products consistently meet engineering standards across Australia.
What Does AS2047 Require Developers to Focus On?
The AS2047 standard evaluates four major performance categories:
① Structural Performance (Wind Pressure Resistance)
Australia has highly varied wind regions, from inland low-wind zones to high-pressure coastal areas.
AS2047 tests include:
• Positive & negative wind pressure cycles
• Frame deformation limits
• Glass load-bearing capacity
MC’s reinforced aluminium chambers and engineering-level sliding systems maintain stability under N4–N5 conditions, making them suitable for both houses and mid-rise apartments.
② Water Penetration Resistance
Cities like Sydney and Gold Coast face wind-driven rain that challenges ordinary window systems.
AS2047 requires windows to remain fully sealed under specific water pressures.
MC achieves this with:
• Multi-layer weather seals
• Pressure-balanced drainage
• Independent water channels
Ensuring leak-resistant performance in high rainfall environments.
③ Air Infiltration (Air Tightness)
Air tightness is directly linked to energy efficiency and BASIX compliance.
MC’s systems use:
• Double EPDM sealing
• Precision mitred joints
• Enhanced frame closure design
This significantly reduces unwanted air leakage and improves BASIX scores.
④ Safety & Durability
AS2047 also covers durability and safety requirements, including:
• Safety glazing
• Anti-corrosion performance
• Anti-lift locking systems
• Long-term operational integrity
MC uses engineering-grade hardware, multi-point locks, and strengthened glass for maximum safety.
