Windows and doors will not only affect the look of your home from inside
and outside, but where they are placed and the style you choose will also affect
the comfort of you and your family.
The basic function of windows and doors is to admit daylight
and ventilation in acceptable and consistent quantities,
while maintaining the ambient temperature inside the house -
this is your overall comfort level.
But this needs to be balanced against your requirements for
what you want to see through them and how much privacy you require.
You should also consider how the windows and doors need to blend
with the overall style of your home, both in design and colour. From a
safety and security aspect you need to have the appropriate style of
window and door for each location. And finally if noise is an issue you
need to understand the impact of using certain styles of windows and doors.
This document sets out principles for selection and placement
of windows from the standpoints of daylight, ventilation, view
and appearance. Irrespective of these suggestions, the final
size and location of any window must conform to the Australian Building Code.

lifetime of comfortable living for you and your family.
