Condensation can cause cosmetic damage, structural issues, and health problems due to excess moisture in your home. To address this, it's crucial that your windows and doors prevent moisture buildup on the inside of the window:
Double Glazing: We use Argon Gas and an Architectural Thermal Spacer® between the glass panes for superior insulation, reducing heat transfer.
Thermally-Broken Frames: Our ThermalHEART® frames feature a polyamide strip in the core, preventing heat transfer.
Passive Ventilation: Keeping windows slightly open during the day helps reduce condensation. Our awning and casement windows offer passive ventilation options that secure your windows while maintaining airflow.
Partnering with Windowmakers means working with an expert team that will ensure your window and door designs contribute to a warmer, drier, and healthier home.

Sustainability is more than a requirement—it’s an opportunity. We partner with APL ensures that your windows and doors are sustainably and responsibly sourced, with a focus on low embodied carbon emissions. This commitment is highlighted by several key initiatives from APL:
* All our aluminium is sourced from Tiwai Point, with 99% of unused aluminium recycled back at the smelter.
* 96% of APL’s fleet is rated 5 or higher for exhaust emissions, with 6 being the highest rating available.
* New packing systems have eliminated over 1,500,000 kg of single-use packaging, supporting a circular economy.
* All energy used is offset through Kawatiri’s renewable hydro station.
Choosing Windowmakers as your supplier for windows and doors means working alongside a company that values sustainability and corporate responsibility, dedicated to providing environmentally conscious solutions that ensure your choices contribute to a healthier planet. 🍃🌎
A detail-rich, urban-chic home built by the talented team at Hargraves Homes Limited won the 2023 NZIA Auckland Awards and is a strong contender for the Registered Master Builders Association 2024 House of the Year competition. We at Windowmakers are proud to be part of this exceptional project.
What sets Windowmakers apart from other aluminium joinery companies is our willingness and ability to push the boundaries of design and ex*****on. This project is no exception. Our custom windows on the upper floor follow the triangular arc of the ceiling lines, maximizing every square centimetre of space. These windows bring key design concepts to life with precision and craftsmanship, contributing to the home's architectural appeal.

With the new H1 energy efficiency standards making headlines, it's a good time to highlight the significance of using high-performing Low-E glass in your windows and doors.
Before the H1 changes, up to 50% of a home's heat loss occurred through its windows and doors. Incorporating AGP Architectural Glass Products Solux-E® (a Low-E glass with a U-value of 1.1) reduces the heat loss through the glass by c.60% when compared to standard double glazing, reducing the risk of condensation and mould growth for a warmer, drier, and healthier living environment.
Additionally, Solux-E® glass reduces heat gain by 34% compared to standard double glazing. This addresses recent concerns that H1 changes have made homes too hot, ensuring comfortable temperatures year-round.
