THE COMPOSITE EDGE

Zero Thermal Bridge Technology

Traditional steel-reinforced frames create a 40-60% thermal bridge, allowing cold to transfer directly through the frame structure.

The FINESSE 80mm Series eliminates this entirely with a high-strength wood-composite core that replaces steel reinforcement while maintaining structural integrity.

The Result:

  • 60% reduction in heating energy loss during Melbourne winters
  • No cold-transfer through the frame structure
  • Superior structural strength without thermal compromise

Traditional Steel Frame

  • Steel reinforcement creates thermal bridge
  • 40-60% heat loss through frame
  • Cold transfer in winter, heat gain in summer
  • Condensation risk on interior surfaces

FINESSE 80mm Series Composite

  • Wood-composite core (PVC + wood dust)
  • Zero thermal bridging
  • 60% reduction in energy loss
  • Consistent interior temperature year-round

The "Melbourne Comfort" Solution

Engineered specifically for Melbourne's notorious "Four Seasons in One Day" climate challenge

The Problem

  • 60% heating energy loss through older window systems in Melbourne homes
  • Street noise pollution from high-traffic urban zones
  • Extreme temperature swings from 5°C to 35°C in a single day
  • Condensation and drafts compromising interior comfort

The FINESSE 80mm Series Solution

  • 60% reduction in heating energy loss vs. traditional frames
  • Up to 45dB acoustic reduction via triple-seal system
  • Consistent interior temperature regardless of external conditions
  • Zero condensation with superior thermal break technology
