Performance
Australian Standards
All our ACA Shutters & Blinds Essential aluminium windows and doors have been tested to AS2047 to ensure ultimate safety and trust. This assessment offers information regarding deflection, the required force to operate it, air leakage, water entering, and the maximum strength it can bear. Selected products in the Essential windows and doors range are tested with AS4284 standards.
Tested to AS2047
The Building Code of Australia mandates that we manufacture windows and doors that adhere to the minimum requirements established by Australian Standard (AS) 2047 and AS1288.
Simulations of High Winds and Driving Rains
The AS4420.2 Deflection Test involves subjecting the window to both positive and negative wind pressures in order to evaluate the maximum deflection that it can withstand under wind load. Furthermore, the AS4420.5 Water Penetration Resistance Test is conducted to guarantee that water does not penetrate through the window into the interior of the building.
Operating Force Requirement
The AS4420.3 Operating Force Test is utilized to check that a window sash will open and close with no excessive force required.
Air Infiltration Pressure
The AS4220.4 Air In filtration Test determines if a window is performing with optimal energy and noise control by gauging its air penetration levels.
Ultimate Strength Testing
AS4420.6 Ultimate Strength Test – negative and positive wind pressures are applied to the window to at least 1.5 times the design wind pressure to ensure it does not fail in unusual wind conditions.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
WERS, Uw and SHGC
- WERS - The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) is recognized by the AFRC, ensuring its ratings comply with the NCC standards. Reports generated by WERS evaluate the overall performance of windows, including the U-Value (Uw) and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGCw).
- Uw - The U-value is a metric to determine a product's ability to retain heat. It calculates the rate at which heat is lost or gained through a material or assembly. For Australian products, U-value ratings typically range from 2.0-10.0 W/m2.K. A lower U-value indicates higher resistance to heat and cold flow and better insulation properties.
- SHGC - The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures a product's ability to block heat from sunlight. It is expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1, with a lower SHGC meaning the window allows less solar heat to pass through.
