Technical Highlights
✅ Thermally Broken Aluminum Frames
Our thermally broken systems feature Technoform Bautec™ PA66 polyamide bars, effectively separating interior and exterior aluminum profiles to eliminate thermal bridging. This reduces the U-factor of the frames from around 2.0 to ~1.0 Btu/hr·ft²·°F, ensuring comfort in both cold and hot climates.
✅ Triple Glazed Glass Units with Low E + Warm Edge Spacer
Every unit includes triple glazing for exceptional energy savings, with Low E coatings and warm-edge spacers that significantly reduce heat transfer.
✅ White Powder Coating by Interpon
The clean white finish is applied using Interpon powder coating technology, offering 10 years of guaranteed durability against UV fading, chalking, and corrosion.
✅ Integrated Blinds in Select Windows
Some fixed and awning windows come equipped with integral blinds, providing enhanced light control and privacy without external dust collection or maintenance.
✅ ROTO German Multi-Point Locks
All operable units are fitted with ROTO's premium locking systems, ensuring smooth operation, security, and long-term reliability.
✅ EPDM Rubber Sealing System
Premium EPDM rubber strips ensure airtight seals that maximize energy efficiency and soundproofing, even during Canterbury's unpredictable weather.
Client Testimonial – Shirley's Experience
"We're very happy with the aluminum windows and doors from ROPO. As we were building a Passive House in Christchurch, it was important to choose products that delivered on both thermal performance and aesthetic appeal. ROPO's triple glazed units have exceeded our expectations — the home stays warm, quiet, and looks fantastic. The team was knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. We would definitely recommend ROPO to anyone looking for high-quality aluminum windows in New Zealand."

A sleek, modern look that complements the architectural style
