Building in a cold, remote area like Canberra's hills requires more than just insulation — it demands high-performance windows and doors. See how ROPO delivered WERS-certified uPVC double glazed solutions that combined energy efficiency, safety, and stunning design.
Project Overview
This modern residence, nestled in the mountainous outskirts of Canberra, required more than standard windows — it needed high-performance, energy-rated, and family-safe window solutions tailored for extreme conditions.
ROPO partnered with a local windows partner to supply and install a complete set of uPVC double glazed windows and doors, ensuring the home met Australia's stringent energy and safety standards.
Why uPVC Was the Ideal Choice
Given the lower temperatures and high UV exposure in Canberra's elevated terrain, German VEKA uPVC frames were selected for their durability, thermal performance, and eco-friendly properties. These frames are specially formulated with a 'Tropical' mix, ideal for the Australasian climate — resistant to UV, discoloration, and cracking.
Product Details
ROPO supplied a full range of uPVC double glazed systems:
uPVC Tilt & Turn Windows
uPVC Fixed Windows
uPVC Sliding Doors
uPVC Lift & Sliding Doors
All units comply with:
AS2047 & AS1288 standards

ROPO uPVC tilt & turn triple glazed windows are becoming very popular due to their improved functionality and safety features.
A fixed UPVC Double Glazed window is quite simply, a window that does not have an opening vent.
Lift & Slide doors offer your home something that other doors don't – a whole wall of glass that acts as a sliding door.
UPVC sliding doors are highly in demand because they have become amazingly effective in adding extra security to homes
Family Safety & Smart Design
With two young children, the homeowner was especially concerned about upper-floor window safety. ROPO designed the tilt & turn windows with opening restrictors limited to 125 mm in accordance with Australian child safety regulations, providing ventilation without compromising safety.
ROPO's engineers, in collaboration with ROTO hardware specialists, reviewed the floor plans and recommended energy-efficient configurations that met both performance and safety standards.
