Duralco and Australian Standards

• 

  Australia is known for having one of the best product sources in the world. It is one of the popular countries with particular attention to consumer protection. They require all companies to comply with Australian Standards set by government-accredited organizations such as Standards Australia. These standards are internationally recognized.

  When it comes to Aluminum Windows and Doors, Duralco chose to partner with Aneeta Sashless Windows and Capral Aluminum, two of the most renowned suppliers in Australia. We guarantees that our products are not only authentic from Australia including parts and accessories. We also guarantee they are quality tested, following strict standards and guidelines for our customer’s safety and convenience.

  The Australian Standard (AS)

  All Australian products need to comply with the relevant Australian standards. The Building Code of Australia calls for windows in all class of buildings to comply with Australian Standard AS 2047. AS 2047 is the mandatory minimum specification for windows and doors used in Australia. The organization that makes sure Australian Standards are met by suppliers of windows and doors is AWA or Australian Window Association. Capral Aluminum and Aneeta Sashless Windows are both members of this association.

  The following performance tests are undertaken to verify product performance claims:

  AS 4420.2 Deflection Test
  Positive and negative wind pressures are applied to the face of the window to test the maximum deflection under wind load

  AS 4420.3 Operating Force Test
  To verify that an opening sash is capable of opening and closing without undue effort.

  AS 4420.4 Air Infiltration Test
  The air leakage of a window is tested to ensure energy and acoustic efficiency

  AS 4420.5 Water Penetration Resistance Test
  This test is designed to ensure no water leaks through the window into the building

  AS 4420.6 Ultimate Strength Test
  Negative and positive wind pressures are applied to the window to at least 1.5 times the design wind pressure to ensure it does not fail in unusual wind conditions.
