ROPO's uPVC Windows and Doors: A Perfect Fit for Apartment
1. Double Glazed Windows for Energy Efficiency 

Double glazing is a game-changer for NSW homeowners looking to reduce energy costs and improve comfort. ROPO's double glazed uPVC windows and doors offer superior thermal insulation by creating an argon gas filled layer between two panes of glass. This significantly reduces heat transfer, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The double glazed windows at 2 Rickard St, Balgowlah NSW 2093, Australia not only enhances energy efficiency but also helps reduce noise from roadways—a crucial factor for many NSW homes. 

2. Custom uPVC Sliding Doors 

For this project at 2 Rickard St, Balgowlah, NSW, ROPO installed high-performance uPVC sliding doors, ensuring functionality, modern aesthetics and energy efficiency.

Why uPVC Windows in NSW, Australia
1. Energy Efficient – Save Good Money

Dealing with skyrocketing energy bills is a primary concern for Australian homeowners. Most often, the cause is poor insulation due to drafty windows. The presence of drafts in your windows can result in energy loss, costing you more money. When energy is lost through drafty windows, your HVAC system has to work for longer hours to achieve and maintain the optimal room temperature. The longer your HVAC system works, the more energy it uses, hence the higher the cost.Old and outdated windows can increase your yearly HVAC cost by approximately 40 per cent. So, save money today. Replace your drafty and old windows with our uPVC window solutions. uPVC windows provide impressive energy efficiency. Once installed, you could save considerable money on your energy bills. Unplasticised Polyvinylchloride material used for manufacturing these windows is a low heat conductor. Hence, if appropriately fitted, uPVC windows can form a closed and airtight system, thereby minimising heat loss, which is common in non-insulating materials.

2. Superior Insulation – Achieve Optimal Temperature

Our uPVC windows prevent dampness and ensure that cold air doesn't penetrate the home. uPVC windows are an excellent choice for achieving the ideal room temperature in the fastest time. Moreover, uPVC windows can be tailored with double glazing units for maximum insulation. Our uPVC window systems provide the best insulation from pollens, pollution, dust and heat

3. Eco-Friendly – Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Another benefit of replacing your old windows with our high-quality double glazing upvc windows is that they are environmentally friendly. uPVC windows are made using recyclable materials. So you can replace them when needed without worrying about adding them to landfills. With these windows, you can quickly go green and lower your carbon footprint.

4. Top-Notch Security – Enhanced Safety for a Peace of Mind

Sometimes homeowners have to compromise on safety to boost their curb appeal. However, with our uPVC solutions, you don't have to make compromises because you get the best of both- safety and appearance. Available in multi-locking systems and double-glazing units, uPVC window frames offer heightened security to your property. The toughened glass and added locks protect your space from burglars and intruders from breaking in. Indeed, potential burglars are deterred by properties with uPVC windows and doors because they are well aware of the difficulties they will face to get inside.
5, Sound Proofing – Keep the Noise at Bay

If your home is located in a noisy neighbourhood or is road-facing, then the sounds of loud neighbours and traffic may seem inevitable. But don't worry, with our uPVC windows, you don't have to worry about unpleasant sounds.uPVC installation provides a superior level of soundproofing your home instantly. These windows prevent noise from penetrating your home.

6. Increase Resale Value – Get the Asking Price

The beauty and functionality of these windows not only enhance your home's visual appearance but also increase its resale value. Even if you install uPVC windows in an old home, you can get a good asking price. This is because home buyers today want well-insulated, energy-efficient properties that offer superior safety. 

7. Durable

uPVC windows are durable and robust. The material is tested for UV resistance, ensuring it doesn't fade in Australia’s harsh weather. Rest assured, unlike timber or any other material, you won’t see signs of weather damage with uPVC windows. Hence, making it an investment you will be proud of for years to come. UPVC doesn't react with air or water. Therefore, the material is not susceptible to natural elements. And do you know what that means? That's right; you get windows with a longer life span and durability without ageing. They look as good as new, even after many years.

8. Low Maintenance

Maintenance of doors and windows is often a challenge for busy homeowners. However, when you install our uPVC windows, you don't have to worry about spending hours on home maintenance or hiring a maintenance service.

Low E Glazed
For this project, we used double glazed with Low E to achieve energy report, 5 mm Clear Low E + 16 mm Argon Gas + 5 mm Clear Toughened. 

Low E Glass: Low Emissivity Glass is an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) that incorporates cutting-edge technology. It features a high-performing, energy-efficient sputter-coated low-emissivity glass (LowE), also known as a 'soft coat'. This innovative technology, with atomic layers of silver and metal oxides, provides superior performance in insulation without the risk of visible haze that other traditional coatings can have.


Selecting the right glass for your home will have a significant impact on the comfort, energy efficiency and overall look and feel of your home, ROPO's glass rang include noise reducing, energy efficient and safe;

All the double glazed and triple glazed units in the ROPO range are made with a combination of the following glass types: toughened, low e, laminated, reflective, low iron, etc. ROPO's standard is fully toughened.
Retractable Screen
For this project, we used retractable screen for awning windows, the retractable screen has been created as an upmarket solution for modern living as a functional, reliable and attractive insect exclusion device. Fixed window fly screens and sliding fly screen doors are unsightly dust gatherers – Retractable screen rolls away completely so when you’re not using it, you don't see it. Open or closed, you're sure to be impressed by its discreet and 'barely there' appearance – Sheer Elegance, No Pleats!
