STYLE AND PERFORMANCE

LARGE OVERSIZED GLAZING CONTINUES TO FEATURE STRONGLY IN NEW HIGH-END HOMES. BUT IT'S NOT JUST VIEWS THAT COUNT, AS BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE CHANGES DRIVE RISING EXPECTATIONS ON PERFORMANCE. With compliance changes set to lift the game on home insulation this year, we can expect an even stronger focus on energy efficiency in the new home market. It's an exciting time for leaders in this space, such as Otago-based E13 Performance Windows.

“These changes are long overdue,” says Jamie Waller, Manager of E13 Performance Windows. “While it will be a big jump for industry to get up to speed, we’ve all had plenty of time to prepare for this. In fact, E13 is already well ahead of these new benchmarks and pushing for further improvement.”

Michael and Kathryn Brenssell, who founded E13 Performance Windows, have deep roots in Otago and have built a proud reputation for producing joinery that makes a difference. Their E13 premium performance aluminium window and door systems function superbly well, no matter where you live in New Zealand.

Triple glazing is an emerging niche market. E13 delivers superior triple-glazing solutions throughout New Zealand. With excellent thermal performance, this choice promotes comfortable, healthy living yearround in all conditions, as well as next-level acoustic performance.

“We achieve impressive results on air tightness, too,” says Jamie. “We have a lot of enquiries from people who don’t necessarily want to go all the way with Passive House design but do want to get as close as they can. We work with them to achieve that, with the added advantage that our product is locally manufactured in Dunedin. It’s a faster, more cost-effective option than importing product from overseas.”

E13’s Pacific52 Thermal™ system will deliver the look you want – whether that be sleek and slimline or big and bold – with a wide range of colours available. Flaxpod, Ironsand and Appliance White are firmly entrenched as Kiwi favourites. E13 aluminium window and door systems are incredibly strong and designed to perform with style. They are the ideal choice for enhancing spectacular outlooks.
