In Sydney’s residential market, window upgrades are no longer just about appearance. Builders increasingly recognise that window systems directly affect living comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term maintenance costs.
As a result, more builders are shifting toward AS2047-certified window systems, prioritising manufacturers with full system design and factory-level quality control.
1. Higher Requirements for Sydney Residential Projects
Sydney homes face complex conditions:
• Coastal wind and humidity
• Urban noise from traffic and density
• Increasing energy-efficiency and compliance standards
Standard windows often fall short, leading to deformation, leakage, noise intrusion, and energy loss. These issues push builders to focus on tested system performance rather than individual products.
2. Why Builders Prefer AS2047-Certified Systems
AS2047 certification evaluates entire window systems, including:
• Wind load resistance
• Air and water tightness
• Structural durability
Performance under real environmental conditions
For builders, certified systems mean lower construction risk, fewer defects, and smoother approvals—especially for large openings and sliding doors common in Sydney homes.
