Scandi Cabins are designed with comfort, sustainability, and efficiency in mind, and our uPVC double-glazed windows and doors are a key feature that delivers on all three fronts. Using advanced REHAU window and door systems, our granny flats offer superior energy performance, protection against the elements, and a range of benefits tailored to meet the needs of modern living in Australia and New Zealand.
Energy-efficient uPVC double-glazed windows
Why choose uPVC double-glazed windows?
Our uPVC double-glazed windows and doors are crafted using REHAU profiles, a trusted German-engineered solution built to the highest standards of quality and durability. These windows ensure your cabin is not only comfortable but also energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-maintenance. Below, we break down the features and benefits of these advanced systems.
Key Benefits of REHAU uPVC Windows
1. Lower Cooling Costs
Unlike aluminium or metal frames that conduct heat, uPVC is an excellent insulator. The poor heat conductivity of REHAU profiles prevents external heat from penetrating your cabin, reducing the need for cooling systems like air conditioning. This means lower energy bills and fewer CO2 emissions—making your cabin more cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
2. Designed for Harsh UV Environments
REHAU uPVC windows are specially formulated to withstand extreme UV radiation and high temperatures commonly found in Australia and New Zealand. This advanced protection ensures that the frames resist discoloration, warping, and shrinkage even in the harshest conditions.
3. Noise Insulation for Peace and Quiet
The multi-chambered design of REHAU profiles provides exceptional sound insulation, helping to keep your cabin calm and quiet. Whether it’s traffic noise or general outdoor disturbances, you’ll enjoy the serenity of your own space.
4. Protection Against the Elements
REHAU windows come equipped with two high-performance sealings that protect against dust, wind, and rain. The airtight design achieves excellent air tightness of less than 0.1 m³/hr/m² @ 10 Pa, ensuring that your cabin stays comfortable no matter the weather. The high-gloss finish also repels dirt, keeping maintenance minimal and hassle-free.
5. Enhanced Security
Safety is paramount, and REHAU windows are designed with multi-point locking systems to keep your family and property secure. Unlike traditional windows, these systems make break-ins difficult even when the windows are tilted for ventilation.
6. Self-Extinguishing and Impact-Resistant
REHAU uPVC is a high-impact resistant material that is notably difficult to ignite. In the rare case of exposure to flames, the material self-extinguishes when the heat source is removed, providing an additional layer of safety for your home.
7. Eco-Friendly and Recyclable
PVC is a recyclable material that can easily be processed into new products. Its lightweight nature also minimizes fuel consumption during transportation, making it an environmentally responsible choice for sustainable building solutions.
