High-performance configurations tailored for modern residential and commercial architectures across Western Australia.
Perth, Western Australia, presents a highly unique meteorological environment. Characterized by intense UV radiation, high summer temperatures, and strong seasonal wind patterns like the famous "Fremantle Doctor," coastal developments require premium-grade construction materials. Traditional framing systems often fail to resist the long-term degradation associated with marine-grade salinity, leading to corrosion and structural seal failure.
Furthermore, the region experiences severe winter rainstorms that push building envelopes to their absolute limits. Waterproofing is not merely about blocking moisture; it is about managing positive and negative air pressures to prevent water penetration under high wind loads. The Australian Standard AS2047 mandates rigorous testing of doors and windows for structural deflection, air infiltration, and water penetration resistance.
Tested for ultimate wind pressures and extreme weather water resistance.
Under the hood of high-performance architectural glazing. How we prevent moisture ingress at the molecular and structural levels.
Water ingress is typically driven by air pressure differentials between the interior and exterior environments. Our frames utilize integrated pressure-equalization chambers. By matching internal cavity air pressure to the exterior wind pressure, water is naturally diverted through weep holes rather than forced inward.
A door or window is only as waterproof as its seal compression. Standard single-lock systems allow the sash corners to bend slightly under wind load. Our systems feature multi-point hardware engineered to exert continuous, uniform compression along the entire EPDM weather-strip perimeter.
By separating the interior and exterior aluminum profiles using reinforced polyamide strips, we block the thermal conduction route. This design significantly lowers the risk of condensation formation inside the building envelope, which can lead to localized wall damage and mold growth.

Shandong Envi Doors and Windows Co., Ltd. - Empowering Perth projects with world-class Chinese fabrication scale and precision engineering.
Established in 2014, Shandong Envi Doors and Windows Co., Ltd. has expanded into a premier, large-scale manufacturer integrating design, production, and exporting capabilities. Our parent enterprise, founded in 1993, brings over three decades of extrusion profile expertise. Today, the manufacturing campus spans 100,000 square meters and handles an annual extrusion capacity of over 50,000 tons of architectural, decorative, and industrial profiles, yielding an annual output valuation of 1 billion yuan.
Our fabrication plant utilizes heavy-duty automation systems, housing multiple advanced aluminum extrusion presses ranging from 600 to 2,500 metric tons. The facility includes two automated anodizing lines, two electrophoretic coating lines, a thousand-ton capacity vertical powder-spraying line, thermal break assembly operations, and deep processing machinery in our dedicated Yalian workshops.
Over the past decade, we have successfully delivered high-performance glazing solutions to over 1,500 projects across 100 countries. All our exports comply with international standards, ensuring seamless integration into localized building regulatory frameworks.
From oceanfront villas in Cottesloe to heavy commercial assets in Welshpool, we customize layouts for specific WA microclimates.
Suburbs: Cottesloe, Scarborough, Fremantle, City Beach
Ocean-facing exposures suffer from salt spray and structural wind loading during storm seasons. We specify anodized finishes of 25 microns minimum thickness or Interpon D3020 fluoropolymer powder coatings, coupled with marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware, protecting our sliding and bi-fold systems against corrosion and structural failure.
Suburbs: Subiaco, Joondalup, Victoria Park, Claremont
Focusing heavily on acoustic dampening (Rw ratings) and high thermal efficiency (WERS U-values) to meet NCC requirements. Our double-glazed casement and awning windows feature polyamide thermal breaks and low-E coatings, reducing artificial heating and cooling loads for multi-residential structures.
Suburbs: Welshpool, Malaga, Osborne Park, Canning Vale
Industrial and commercial spaces demand heavy-duty traffic resilience and secure perimeter configurations. We provide oversized shopfront framing, curtain walls, and automated double-glazed entry configurations with heavy-duty commercial hardware and multi-point security mechanisms.
Providing clear documentation, quality certification, and efficient shipping support directly to Fremantle Port.
When importing windows and doors into Western Australia, builders must present certified compliance paperwork to the building certifier (Form 15 equivalents or laboratory test certification matching AS2047). We provide complete documentation packages:
We manage the export logistics from our factory gates straight to the port of Fremantle. Our export packing processes protect custom aluminum systems throughout transit:
Our ongoing R&D matches global architectural standards for low-carbon footprints and structural durability.
Our R&D focuses on incorporating up to 60% recycled aluminum content into our extrusions without sacrificing structural integrity, lowering the embodied carbon of building facades for green star rated commercial buildings.
Integrating smart glass interfaces into our window frames allows automated tinting controlled by BMS systems, optimizing solar heat gain dynamically throughout Perth's sunny summers.
Developing advanced polyurethane-filled multi-cavity thermal barriers. Aiming to hit U-values under 1.2 W/m²K, accommodating the next generation of net-zero energy home specifications.
