In the Gold Coast, natural sunlight is abundant and precious. More homeowners, especially those building coastal houses or upgrading backyard living spaces, are choosing to add a sunroom—a bright, transparent, modern space that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living.
But in a region with strong UV exposure, high humidity, and coastal winds, many homeowners ask the same question:
Does a sunroom need AS2047-certified windows?
And if the design is highly transparent, can it still maintain good insulation and durability?
With growing demand, M&C Windows & Doors has participated in several Gold Coast residential sunroom projects, helping homeowners achieve both transparency and performance through AS2047-certified window systems.
Why Sunrooms Are So Popular on the Gold Coast
Unlike other regions, the Gold Coast offers the ideal environment for sunrooms:
Abundant daylight for enjoying ocean, garden, or pool views
A multifunctional living area perfect for reading, exercise, family time, or relaxation
Expanded indoor–outdoor living space
A modern and luxurious architectural effect through large glass panels and slim frames
However, in coastal environments, a sunroom must not only look good—it must also withstand the climate.
AS2047-Certified Systems: Transparency with Performance
For a sunroom to remain comfortable year-round, its window and door systems must meet several key performance criteria:
1. Wind Pressure Resistance
Coastal wind conditions on the Gold Coast can be strong.
AS2047 certification ensures the sunroom maintains structural integrity during high-wind weather.
2. Water & Air Tightness
Coastal moisture, rainstorms, and salt-rich winds require excellent sealing.
Triple-seal designs and reinforced frames minimize moisture intrusion, preventing mould and condensation.
3. Heat Control Without Sacrificing Transparency
Large glass areas can lead to overheating if not properly designed.
That’s why sunrooms often incorporate:
• Low-E coated glass
• Double glazing systems
• Thermally broken aluminium frames
These features ensure clear views with comfortable indoor temperatures.

The Essence of a Sunroom: Bringing Nature Into Everyday Living
The true value of Gold Coast homes is not only in the land or architecture, but in the lifestyle they offer.
A well-designed sunroom elevates daily living by providing:
• Morning sunlight for a fresh start
• A quiet corner for reading or relaxation
• A bright play area for children
• Space for yoga, fitness, or creative activities
• A welcoming ambiance for gatherings
It blends sunlight, scenery, comfort, and family into one cohesive living experience.
For this space to remain enjoyable for years, choosing the right window and door system is essential—and AS2047-certified sunroom systems from M&C Windows & Doors have become a preferred choice for many Gold Coast homeowners.
