When building or renovating, most New Zealand home-owners are now enjoying the improved insulation benefits of double-glazed windows and doors. But to get the maximum advantage from your double-glazing, you also need to know about AllSeasons™.

WHAT IS A THERMAL BREAK?

Aluminium is highly conductive. The thermal break provides insulation within the joinery panels and frames.

The R Value is the value of thermal resistance of a building element. RWindow is the R Value measure as measured within a window frame.

YEAR-ROUND COMFORT

According to health experts, the ideal temperature for a healthy home is around 18 degrees Celsius. AllSeasons™ helps you achieve that perfect indoor temperature, regardless of what the weather is doing outside. In winter, AllSeasons™ thermally broken joinery prevents the coldness coming inside – or the warmth escaping – through your windows and doors. It works the same way in summer, keeping the cool air inside.

REDUCE CONDENSATION

Even with double-glazing, condensation can still form on your windows and doors. AllSeasons™ gives you maximum protection against condensation, for a healthier home.

ENERGY SAVINGS

The RWindow is the measure of how well a product insulates. By combining your standard clear double-glazing with AllSeasons™ aluminium framing, you’ll increase your RWindow by 42%. This increases to 100% if your double-glazing has Low E glass and Argon gas.

GREATER STRENGTH GIVES YOU MORE OPTIONS

Because AllSeasons™ is designed for strength, it gives you greater freedom of design. AllSeasons™ extrusions are built to suit larger windows and doors, making it the ideal choice for when you want to create superb indoor-outdoor flow. In fact, with AllSeasons™ your doors can be as high as 2.7m, with double glazing of up to 30mm thick. AllSeasons™ is strong enough to handle extra high wind zones, so you can use it wherever you choose to live in New Zealand.

PATENTED CONNECTION SYSTEM GIVES YOU PEACE OF MIND

AllSeasons™ is manufactured using NALCO’s patented connection systems – designed to provide more secure, more weathertight joinery.

Features unique to NALCO’s system include joints that are stronger and tighter. Controlled drainage paths direct water away from your home. Our patented connection system doesn’t require us to drill holes in frames, which maintains the integrity of the joinery.
