Residents of Central Otago and across New Zealand often seek windows that combine modern energy efficiency with a classic, aged exterior appearance. Until now, achieving this blend has been challenging.
At ThermaDura, we've conducted in-depth research and rigorous testing to offer you the perfect synthesis - introducing the unique Chalet System. Tilt and turn windows, lift and slide doors, LignoLine+ window walls - all systems are available in the Chalet system. The Chalet system is tested to the stringent New Zealand standard NZ TS 4211:2022 to the Extra high wind zone (XXL sizes).

RECYCLING OF AUSTRALIAN HARDWOOD
The use of Australian hardwood in New Zealand construction spans over a century, celebrated for its longevity. We regularly witness century-old hardwood being salvaged for use in contemporary structures.
ThermaDura handpicks the best hardwood, transforming them into one-of-a-kind windows and doors.
Every Chalet window and door is unique - crafted from wood where every piece tells a unique story.
We source the recycled Spotted Gum from Kennedys sawmill in Australia
TRIPLE GLAZED FOR PASSIVE HOUSES
The Chalet window range looks aged from the outside but offers maximum air-tightness and thermal efficiency. Due to the exceptional thermal performance and air tightness the Chalet window and door range can be used for most certified passive houses.
TRADITION MEETS TECHNOLOGY
Chalet windows and doors are available with all hardware options including tilt-turn and lift slide mechanisms. Electronical sensors and mechanisms can also be integrated. Please check the technical section on this website.

Before finalizing your specifications, please confirm the requirements and availability of prime recycled hardwood with ThermaDura. The Chalet System represents our premium choice, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship and resources invested in its creation.
