Cyclone and thermal aluminium windows for Western Australia
Western Australia is a big, hot, exposed coast. North of Perth is a cyclone zone; Perth itself is a heat and salt-air market; and the coast wants salt-fog hardware as standard. We build the cyclone-rated north and the thermal south from the same factory.
- AS/NZS 1170.2 (wind, cyclonic zones in the north) + AS 1288 (glass)
- Fremantle (Perth)
- 35–50 days
The challenge here
Cyclonic wind in the north, extreme heat and salt air around Perth, and wide-open coastal sites.
How we spec it
- Cyclone-rated to AS 1170.2 for north-west Western Australia
- Thermal-break frames with low-E glazing for the Perth heat
- Salt-fog hardware standard on the exposed coast
- Large fixed and lift-slide glazing for the wide-open living
Certification path
North Western Australia sites take the cyclonic AS 1170.2 wind zone; Perth and the south take thermal specifications. Coordinated with NATA-accredited laboratories, with the report and certificate in the shipping pack.

Specifying for Western Australia
Is all of Western Australia cyclone-rated?
The north and the exposed west coast sit in the higher AS 1170.2 cyclonic zones; Perth and the south are wind-rated and thermal. We match the spec to the zone at the site.
How do you handle the salt air on the coast?
Salt-fog hardware and a marine powder-coat schedule are standard on Western Australian coastal lines, not an option.
Do you ship to Perth from China?
Yes. Containers are consolidated to Fremantle, with per-container packing lists and crating for the long leg.
