Compliance

The BCA calls up windows that comply with AS 2047. Are you using products that comply?

 

It is your responsibility to ensure your window manufacturer has compliance to AS 2047 or it will end up costing the builder or the owner a lot of money.

 

Don't take any chances! All AWA members undergo performance tests to verify performance claims.
