The Future is Triple Glazing

Viridian Glass and aluplast joined forces on this years’ season of The Block to help change the conversation around uPVC window frames and triple glazed units in the Australian market.

Gisborne is surrounded by rolling hills and stunning views of the Macedon Ranges and with the renovations and overall project focused on sustainability and energy efficient building solutions, it formed the perfect project for Viridian and aluplast to demonstrate the true benefits of using high performance triple glazed window and door systems.  

“One of the most critical, but often overlooked features in any build is the windows, and with views as stunning as the Macedon Ranges it would be criminal to compromise this view using ordinary glass and frames,” says Anthony Gunther, Viridian Marketing and Industry Manager.

Viridian’s LightBridge™ and LightBridge next™ double glazing has been used on The Block for many years and are a superior glass choice, however this year Viridian have levelled up once again with the launch of VistaTech™, the ultimate in glass performance which is featured throughout the homes in this year’s season. 

With increased demand for better insulated products and the rise of sustainable building measures, VistaTech™ triple glazed units provide unwavering performance benefits that align with the passive house movement and the most stringent building standards in Australia.

 VistaTech™ is up to five times more efficient than standard glazing.

“It's a world away from what is commonly used in windows across Australia,” says Anthony. 

The three-pane technology is up to five times more efficient than standard glazing and when combined with a uPVC frame, it provides the most thermally efficient residential window and door systems currently available in Australia.

Big, beautiful windows and loads of natural daylight without compromising energy efficiency or energy ratings.

“The glass that's seen on The Block is five times more thermally efficient than ordinary glass. This allows homeowners to have those big, beautiful windows and loads of natural daylight without compromising the energy efficiency or energy rating of their home,” continues Anthony. 

That means from the moment the glass is installed, it works to ‘slow the flow’ of heat loss or gain through the windows. In other words, it keeps the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, making the house far more comfortable without the need to rely on heaters and air conditioners, saving you energy and money on utility bills. 

VistaTech™ has a natural sound barrier that not only maintains comfort levels felt within the home but keeps unwanted noise out.  

VistaTech™ triple glazing provides an additional layer of security and an acoustic solution without the use of interlayers, creating a natural sound barrier that not only maintains comfort levels felt within the home but keeps unwanted noise out.  

 “We do a very good job of making it look normal but the benefits of triple glazing or double glazing for that matter are immediate and will continue for years to come,” adds Anthony.
