Summit Homes Group has received the Professional Major Builder Award from the HIA in Western Australia for the fifth consecutive year! A testament to the team’s dedication to excellence in the home building industry.
When building your new home, you will be asked to choose doors and windows for your new home. There are varieties of each to consider what is right for you and your home. We like to listen to the experts, therefore, we have partnered with Jason Windows who have over 60 years of experience with doors and windows in WA.
Glass
There is an array of different glass options to choose from and it is important to select the right glass as it can impact your energy bill, noise from outside and the aesthetics of your home.
It is important to select a glass to suit your budget and lifestyle and we’re all about efficient products that don’t break the bank but also look great! Jason Windows have a glass guide that lists the pros and cons of different types of glass they offer as well as the role of glass in your home, glass regulations and choosing the right glass based on orientation and floor plan. This handy guide can be found here.
Jason Windows use a local glass manufacturer Oceania Glass and cuts the glass in their factory, giving them the flexibility to service custom orders on time. They also have an in-house toughening machine that heats and cools the glass.
Double Glazing
Double glazing is used for insulation first and foremost. It can be used to have some acoustic benefits, however, be careful with this as it is dependent on the thickness of the glass.
The costs may be better spent on single pane thicker glass. For example, laminated low E-Glass could be a more cost-effective alternative to double glazing which may be considered, especially in the hot West Australian climate.
With double glazing look out for what they are filled with, Jason windows double glazing are filled with argon gas which increases density to improve thermal properties and reduce condensation.
Doors
With so many door options available such as sliding doors, stacking doors, French doors, sentry front doors, pivot doors, and bi-fold doors, the location of the door, size and use will all play a part in which doors you select.
It is important to consider the practicalities in addition to the look. For example, bi-fold doors aesthetically are beautiful however, they do come with a higher cost, and it should be considered that most fly screens cannot be installed with them.
Jason Windows has a range of stylish and practical doors which can be explored in their brochure found here.
Windows
The Jason Windows window range includes double-hung, fixed, sliding, awning, and bi-fold windows. The latest gas strut feature (also known as a servery window) is a popular option for achieving outdoor-indoor living.
It is important to note that when selecting the gas strut option, the outdoor area still needs to be undercover, for example under the alfresco. The full window range and options can be found here.
Security
Security is something to take seriously when choosing your windows and doors, from locks to security screens.
There is a range of security screens on the market, Jason Windows predominately have two types which are 316 Stainless Steel Mesh or Marine Grade Perforated Aluminium. Depending on your situation and lifestyle, you need to determine which is best for you. The below table can help:
