Uf/Uw figures on Aluplast's pages are European-method values with the stated glass. Only smart-slide quotes a WERS (Australian) value. Acoustic figures are the company's "up to" values, not whole-window Rw test results.

Certified energy ratings (WERS)

2,379 uPVC product ratings on WERS, with whole-window U-values from 0.6 to 2.6 W/m²K.

Check the exact product. These ranges cover every glass option. Ask your fabricator for the WERS certificate for the frame, opening type and glass in your quote, and check it matches the U-value and SHGC on your NatHERS or BASIX certificate.

Bushfire

BAL-40 (IDEAL 4000, smart-slide); BAL-29 all systems

"IDEAL4000 and smart-slide comply with BAL40 requirements under AS3959-2018", tested in Melbourne in 2018. No AS 1530.8.1 report or lab named. source

Under AS 3959, uPVC at BAL-40 needs a system tested to AS 1530.8.1, or a bushfire shutter complying with Clause 3.7 over the whole window. For a tested system, ask for the test report covering your profile, glass and window size. How BAL works →
