Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What ARE NOT the main reasons for having windows?
A: Light ventilation and view are not the main reasons to have windows in your house. If they were, you could improve all three benefits by having simple holes in the wall! Windows add protection. That is why double glazing is valuable. It gives better protection from heat loss or gain and from noise!
Q: How do I stop outside noise coming through my windows?
A: generally you can say that thick glass stops more noise than thin. You can also choose laminated glass designed to stop even more noise. Double glazing, especially double glazing in conjunction with laminated glass has a dramatic effect on noise reduction, remembering always that open windows or other openings reduce the noise abatement effects.
Q: What is your product quality like?
A: In terms of materials used Ecovista products can be seen to be of high quality. Design quality falls into two areas; ease of use (functionality) and efficiency (thermal and audio insulation). Ecovista Windows has set high standards in both areas and products conform to all relevant Australian Standards.
