Quality Control: Stringent Testing for Long-Term Performance
Quality control is at the heart of everything we do. Every Dakea window undergoes extreme weather simulation and impact testing to ensure it can withstand harsh conditions. For example, our pitched roof windows are wind-tested to speeds of up to 168 km/h, ensuring that they will remain secure even in extreme weather. The high-performance glazing also helps with noise reduction, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor climate.
In addition to weather and impact testing, all Dakea roof windows undergo thermal performance testing to ensure compliance with the latest building regulations. This commitment to quality guarantees that every window we produce offers a perfect match for your needs, whether it’s for a modern home or a heritage building.
