Sustainable Australian Design – Windows and Doors by Miglas
A commitment to local production lies at the heart of window supplier Miglas, which specialises in crafting high-quality double-glazed windows and doors designed specifically for the Australian environment. Taking a sustainable approach, everything about Miglas is Australian-made and run, from the design through to the engineering and manufacturing.
Miglas prides itself on windows and doors that are refined, practical and innovative. Unlike other products in the industry, which are designed in Europe for European conditions and imported or manufactured in Australia, Miglas does everything at home, enhancing the sensitivity and suitability of Miglas windows and doors to the harsh Australian climate.
Miglas is defined by a fundamentally sustainable approach. The innovative AliClad window system plays a major role in the brand’s sustainable ethos. While double-glazing is inherently energy-efficient, Miglas takes things further by combining Victorian ash timber on the interior with powder-coated aluminium on the exterior to create a low-maintenance, energy-efficient and thermally-stable window and door system. At its inception, AliClad represented the first purpose-designed Australian residential product offering the benefits of double glazing, energy efficiency and protection against Australia’s climate.
With local design and manufacturing a priority, Miglas significantly reduces its carbon footprint and has one of the lowest CO2outputs of any window system. All timber used is PEFC certified and sourced from forests managed according to sustainable forestry practices. Miglas sources aluminium with 75 per cent lessCO2 emissions than the world average and 40 per cent less CO2than PVC frames.
Along with providing comfort, quality and longevity, Miglas windows and doors demonstrate fine craftsmanship, allowing architectural freedom with a wide range of styles, sizes and colours available. As such, Miglas windows and doors heighten a home or business’ functionality while also accentuating its overall architectural façade.
By taking a sustainable approach grounded in local operations, Miglas demonstrates considered craftsmanship and a commitment to delivering Australians refined, high-quality windows and doors for many years to come.
