Glass
There’s an array of different glass to choose from and it’s important to select the right glass as it can impact your energy bill, noise coming in from outside, and the look of your home. It’s important to select a glass to suit your budget and lifestyle too and we’re all about efficient products that don’t break the bank but look great! Jason Windows have a glass guide that lists the pros and cons of different types of glass they offer as well as the role of glass in your home, glass regulations and choosing the right glass based on orientation and floor plan. This handy guide can be found here.
Jason Windows use a local glass manufacturer Oceania Glass who cuts the glass in their factory, giving Jason’s the flexibility to service custom orders on time. They also have an in-house toughening machine 💪 that heats and cools the glass and turns it into the tough stuff!
Double Glazing
Double glazing is used for insulation first and foremost. It can be used to have some acoustic benefits, however, be careful with this as it is dependent on the thickness of the glass. The costs may be better spent on a single pane of thicker glass. For example, laminated low E-Glass could be a more cost-effective alternative to double glazing which may be considered, especially in the hot WA climate. With double glazing look out for what they are filled with, Jason Windows double glazing is filled with argon gas which increases density to improve thermal properties and reduce condensation (basically a big tick of approval ✅ for avoiding drastic temperature changes in your home).
Doors
With so many door options available such as sliding doors, stacking doors, French doors, sentry front doors, pivot doors, and bi-fold doors – the location of the door, size, and use will all play a part in which doors you select. It’s important to consider the practicalities in addition to the look. For example, bi-fold doors aesthetically are beautiful however, they do come with a higher cost, and it should be considered that most fly screens cannot be installed with them. Jason Windows has a range of stylish and practical doors which can be explored in their brochure found here.
Windows
The Jason Windows window range includes double-hung, fixed, sliding, awning, and bi-fold windows. The latest gas strut feature (also known as a servery window) is a popular option for achieving outdoor-indoor living. It is important to note that when selecting the gas strut option, the outdoor area still needs to be undercover, for example under the alfresco. The full window range and options can be found here.
