For over 20 years, Homerit has been manufacturing high quality uPVC windows and doors in NZ for NZ conditions, delivering the perfect blend of design flexibility, sustainability, and affordability to build warmer, drier & healthier homes.
The Homerit uPVC window and door system has been BRANZ appraised since 2007. All Homerit windows and doors have been tested to “Very High” or higher wind zone performance requirements of New Zealand Standards NZS4211. Homerit has invested in advanced machinery and automatic production lines to increase capacity and achieve higher product quality.
Homerit has worked with profile suppliers, hardware suppliers and BRANZ for over 20 years to develop a uPVC window system suitable for the New Zealand market. Homerit provides a wide range of design options, including the addition of an outward opening window inside a sliding door. Homerit developed its uPVC window conventional installation system in 2007. A new recessed installation system was tested to AS/NZS4284 to further improve thermal insulation.
A Homerit uPVC window’s thermal insulation is about 50% higher than thermal broken aluminium windows fitted with identical double glazing. The embodied energy of uPVC frames (including steel reinforcements) is about half of the typical thermal broken aluminium window frames. Our uPVC offcuts are sent to Marley to be recycled and reused for producing plumbing products.
The Homerit uPVC window and door system now offers high energy efficiency and high quality at a competitive price; as high-tech automatic production lines have helped to reduce production costs and wastage. The high thermal insulation properties of uPVC windows can also offer flexibility in H1 compliance, which may reduce the cost of other building elements such as wall, roof and/or floor.
With Ug1.1 LowE double glazing, Homerit R0.74 windows offer great design flexibility and affordability!
