Classy, contemporary, and secure: NH Windows & Doors
Doors and windows play a vital role in having a healthy home, so it’s important to make the right choices when building new, or retrofitting.
Good looks are important too, with the design and style of both doors and windows adding to a building’s ambience and aesthetic, inside and out. 
Double glazing is mandatory in New Zealand new builds, however European standards call for triple glazing, which ensures even better thermal and acoustic performance, as a growing number of New Zealand homeowners are discovering.
International company NH Windows & Doors is bringing the benefits of triple glazing to Kiwi homes with their range of precisely engineered, highly secure, and energy-efficient timber and timber/aluminium-clad windows and doors. With minimal maintenance and a long lifespan, it is a no-brainer.
Architectural designer Fabian Schneider says his team provides both traditional and customised designs, all of them featuring inward openings that are popular and commonly used across Continental Europe.
Wood is a preferred choice for many, however, an increasing number of people are also having timber/aluminium doors and windows installed. “The external aluminium cladding on our Euro78’ALU timber window greatly improves the lifespan of the product and reduces maintenance costs,” explains Fabian.
“It is perfect for more contemporary styled developments, offering the natural warmth of timber internally, combined with the durability of aluminium externally.”
The triple-glazed windows are argon filled, and significantly better in comparison to standard double-glazed windows. Cost-effectively, they are 10% more than double-glazed options. 
An added bonus is that the external aluminium can be powder-coated to match any colour, be it Colorsteel, Resene, or Dulux, while the engineered timber can be stained or painted. Soundproofing, security, and natural ventilation benefits add to the value of the doors and windows, even with the tilt window options. “The glass cannot be removed from the outside, while interior beading improves security,” says Fabian.
Especially suitable for high performance or passive houses, the doors and windows come with fantastic acoustic benefits. “This makes them especially suitable for houses close to busy roads or other high noise generating objects,” says Fabian.
