Discover the top 3 window & door trends for 2025

From safety concerns to the surge of triple-glazed windows, BINQ, an Australian-owned window manufacturer and supplier, is renowned for responding to the needs of the Australian market. ArchiPro recently sat down with Andre Griffs, Co-founder at BINQ, to hear his predictions for the year ahead.

1. Triple-glazed combined with high-performance windows and doors 

While the desire for double-glazed windows for noise reduction and insulation remains strong, the demand for a new combination of triple-glazed and high-performance windows and doors is predicted to increase because of Australia's diverse climate and a growing understanding of the significance of choosing windows well.

Windows can be a significant source of heat loss during the colder months and heat gain during warmer weather. “Customers now understand how important it is to consider their climate; for example, triple-glazing in colder areas saves money on heating,” says Andre Griffs, Co-founder at BINQ. “Windows can also contribute to significant air leakage, with poor window design allowing cold or warm air draughts to enter or escape the home.”

"This can result in a 25–40 per cent energy loss, even with high R-value insulation installed behind the floors, walls and ceiling. Underperforming windows and poor installation can significantly degrade the building's overall thermal performance."

Andre continues, “These factors not only affect comfort and well-being but also significantly increase the building's energy consumption, as heating and cooling systems must work harder to maintain desired temperatures.”

BINQ specialises in European high-performance windows, which are designed and manufactured to meet Europe's more stringent energy efficiency standards.

“We manufacture windows with low-conductive materials, such as wood and uPVC,” explains Andre. “When coupled with glass optimised for performance, such as allowing for the optimum space between panes of glass, low-conductive spacers that separate the panes of glass, and low-E coating in the correct orientation, the result is windows with a Uw of 1.5 and under with double glazing and one and under with triple glazing.”

2. Increased home security

Currently, the standard in Australia is single-point locking systems on windows and doors, such as an awning window that only locks at the winder or a front entry door that only locks in the middle where the handle is fitted. 

Andres adds, “Without locking points around the perimeter of a window sash or a door, the gaskets will gradually push the sash or door away from the frame. When this happens, the gaskets lose their effectiveness and start to let more air in and out.”

Andre warns, “It also means that it is much easier to forcibly enter the house with only a single locking point.  So, as an added benefit, multi-point locks significantly improve a home’s security. For these reasons, all BINQ doors and windows are fitted with multi-point locking mechanisms.”

3. Full home automation 

According to Andre, busy Australians have embraced home automation because of the affordability and ease of electronics such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa. He remarks that as smart automation becomes a desirable addition to properties, specifiers are quickly following suit, with many designers and builders offering it as an optional luxury in their designs.

“Homeowners are looking for digital access control for their entry doors; I believe this will become as common as the automated garage door has. BINQ offers access control for hinged doors, and we’re close to launching an upgraded option that can be integrated into the overall home automation solution.”
