Stegbar ComfortPac™ windows deliver the 'S' Factors

Stegbar, Australia's leading manufacturer of windows, doors, showerscreens and wardrobes, has launched ComfortPac™ glass options, a revolutionary new concept in lifestyle windows for the residential market in Australia.

Homeowners can choose from nine different ComfortPac options in three benefit sets and three performance levels, each adding its own combination of Style, Safety, Sound reduction, Sun protection and Security to the windows, at a performance level to suit every budget, including a ComfortPac with all these benefits.

"Design and performance in windows and doors has long been overlooked in Australian homes. However contemporary looks combined with specific performance benefits that add value to the property and don't break the building or renovation budget are fast emerging as the wisest investment a homeowner can make," Managing Director of Stegbar, Mr Nigel Lapping said.

"Windows and doors not only affect the look of your home from inside and outside. Where they are placed, the style you choose, and the type of glass, also affects the sound, safety, security and comfort of the home," said Mr Lapping.

Stegbar ComfortPacs are available as upgrade options for all Stegbar windows and doors in cedar, aluminium, and the A.T. 2000 Series™ cedar/aluminium composite range. Featuring Pilkington Smart Glass™ Solutions, Stegbar ComfortPacs can provide different levels of comfort, style, safety, security and sound reduction at three performance levels to suit different needs and budgets.

The first thing to choose are the benefits needed in the home - shading from harsh sunlight, protection of furnishings from fading, improved energy efficiency, increased safety, less noise from traffic, enhanced security, or the aesthetic appeal of coloured/toned glass. To make this easier, ComfortPacs are divided into three benefit categories - Comfort & Style; Comfort & Style plus Safety; Comfort & Style plus Safety, Security and Sound Reduction.

Comfort & Style are delivered by upgrading to a thicker toned glass. Safety is enhanced by using laminated glass. Premium security and sound reduction are a result of using Pilkington LamGuard™ which is up to 10 times stronger than ordinary laminated glass.

Then choose the performance level to suit the needs and budget of the homeowner. Luxury, featuring Pilkington ComforTone™ is like adding sunglasses to your home - basic protection from glare and summer energy savings, available in grey, green or bronze. Premier, featuring Pilkington EverGreen™ will provide superior UV protection and glare reduction, is ideal for hotter climates, and is available in a deep green tone. Elite, featuring Pilkington ComfortPlus™ will help control the extremes of summer heat and winter cold through a unique Low E coating built into the surface of the glass which also gives it a soft blue tone.

Marketing Manager for Stegbar Bruce Tosello said: "ComfortPacs are a revolutionary new way for Australian homeowners to view the functionality of windows and doors in their homes. This adds immense value to the aesthetic appeal of the entire Stegbar range, while providing ongoing performance improvements."
