The Challenge

A prestigious Toorak mansion required a modern extension with floor-to-ceiling windows that would meet passive house certification standards while maintaining acoustic privacy from busy Toorak Road. The architectural design demanded minimal sightlines and maximum glass area. Finding triple glazed windows in Melbourne that could achieve passive house thermal performance while delivering superior acoustic insulation for this luxury Toorak location was essential.

Our Solution

We specified premium triple glazed windows Melbourne with passive house certified frames, achieving exceptional U-values of 0.8 W/m²K for superior thermal performance. The high-performance window system incorporated acoustic laminated glass for outstanding sound insulation, thermally broken aluminum cladding for durability, and concealed drainage for clean aesthetics. These energy efficient windows deliver passive house performance with triple glazing technology, making this Toorak extension one of Melbourne's most thermally efficient luxury homes.

"The triple glazed windows from Finesse Windows have exceeded every expectation for our Toorak home. Our new living space is absolutely silent despite being meters from Toorak Road, thanks to the acoustic double glazing, and the temperature remains perfect year-round with minimal energy use from the passive house windows. The quality of these energy efficient windows is exceptional and the window installation Melbourne was executed flawlessly. Worth every dollar for the thermal performance and acoustic insulation."
