In Perth's ever-changing climate, energy-efficient upgrades are not just a luxury but a necessity. This residential renovation project focused on replacing outdated single-glazed doors with advanced external aluminium sliding doors to drastically enhance thermal performance and aesthetics.
Project Overview
Location: Perth, Australia
Client Type: Homeowner
Building Type: Residential (Renovation)
Supplied Products: External Aluminium Sliding Doors
Project Background
The homeowner previously used simple aluminium doors with single glazing, resulting in significant energy loss. With a growing need for better insulation and performance, ROPO engineers recommended double-glazed aluminium sliding doors to meet the Australian Standards AS2047, AS1288, and WERS.
Based on the layout and exposure to the elements, the updated system greatly improved thermal regulation, security, and light control.
