I first encountered uPVC joinery in New Zealand over 25 years ago. We were doing an alteration to a rural property where the North American owners had committed themselves to using the best joinery they could find, which meant importing the joinery. Fast forward a quarter of a century and I’m delighted to see that high quality uPVC windows and doors are available in New Zealand plus they are made here in New Zealand.
Long recognized for its outstanding thermal performance overseas, I’m excited to see New Zealanders given the opportunity to take advantage of the performance benefits and innovative functionality of uPVC joinery. I can recall being fascinated 25 years ago to see a window that both tilted and hinged for opening and delighted to see this feature in some locally made windows recently.
Ambiance uPVC joinery by STÄRKE is a key component in high-performance homes. Recently I’ve been observing a home that is being renovated and extended. The owners have chosen to install Ambiance uPVC joinery by STÄRKE in order to achieve excellent thermal control and airtightness. Part of the project is a new extension where the installation of the new windows and doors is pretty standard, but there is a little more complexity and challenge in fitting new uPVC joinery to replace the 70 year old windows in the existing house.
Talking from a builder’s perspective the introduction of the Ambiance uPVC range that allows for recessed fitting to ensure the insulation of the Double Glazing stays in line with the wall insulation and clever flashing systems makes this top-quality joinery so much quicker and easier to install. It’s a game changer for New Zealand.
If you are thinking of replacing your joinery or maybe doing a new build, I recommend that you consider the STÄRKE Ambiance uPVC range for joinery
