ENERGY EFFICIENCT WINDOW AND DOOR SOLUTIONS USING THERMASHIELD FROM TREND

Australian building regulations (BCA) has changed to focus on reducing energy consumption, so more consideration is required in the design and planning of buildings with the move from five to six star energy ratings.

Trend^® Thermashield^® energy efficient window and door systems makes it easy for you to evaluate the level of protection required for each specific window and door in a project as a major part of energy loss is through inefficient glazing. 

The high-performance Trend^® Thermashield^® system make buildings more energy efficient, more comfortable, reduces energy bills, and lessen peak heating and cooling loads.  This means smaller heating or cooling systems can be employed.  It is also much easier on the environment. 

All Trend^® Thermashield^® products are WERS (Window Energy Rating System) rated and are all NATA tested.  The WERS ratings are approved by AFRC (Australian Fenestration Rating Council) and recognised by NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) and is currently the only scheme approved for energy rating windows and doors in Australia.

Trend^® Thermashield^® means greater control, bigger savings and, most importantly, one less thing to worry about.
