🏡 When architecture and engineering work together, extraordinary homes become possible.

Set at the base of Mount Ainslie, Alach Munro House was designed to blur the boundary between indoors and the surrounding landscape. Its defining feature is an impressive two-storey glazed façade spanning 13 metres wide and almost 6 metres high.

Behind this seamless design was months of collaboration between Saul Kringas, Supaglass Industries and Australian Glass Group.

The AGG Tech & Spec® team were invited early in the design process, reviewing the proposed glazing against energy performance, wind loading, human impact requirements and structural engineering considerations to help develop a glazing solution that would perform for decades.

The result was a home filled with natural light, uninterrupted views and year-round comfort, made possible with Insulglass LowE Max® high performance double glazing.

Great architecture deserves technical expertise behind the scenes.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this remarkable project to life.

Not All Triple Glazed Glass is Created Equal.

Think all Triple Glazed Units deliver the same performance?

Think again.

The latest AGG Performance Data – Triple Glazed Units (Glass Only) guide demonstrates how glass selection, LowE technology and glazing make-up dramatically influence:

✅ Thermal insulation (U-value)
✅ Solar Heat Gain (SHGC)
✅ Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
✅ UV protection
✅ Acoustic performance
✅ Selectivity (LSG)
✅ Glass weight and thickness

Brought to you by AGG Tech & Spec® - this guide also highlights an important industry insight:

A Double Glazed Unit with a Softcoat LowE coating can outperform a standard Triple Glazed Unit in thermal insulation, while Triple Glazed Units with dual Softcoat LowE coatings deliver the highest levels of performance.

Whether you're specifying residential or commercial projects, this is a valuable technical resource for architects, designers, builders and fabricators.

🚨 Victorian Window Industry - This Changes Everything.

For years, accessing VEU rebates for high-performance windows involved expensive product assessments, complex verification pathways, and too many barriers for many businesses to participate.

Now?
Things have changed.

Thanks to sustained advocacy from AGWA - Australian Glass and Window Association, high performance WERS-rated windows are now formally recognised under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program through 1st Energy Rebates' RebateM8 software - opening a far more accessible rebate pathway for compliant double and triple glazing upgrades.

That means:

✅ More opportunities for retrofit/renovation window companies
✅ Greater value for homeowners
✅ Easier access to government-backed incentives
✅ Stronger demand for energy efficient glazing solutions

With over 13,000 individual AGG glass configurations listed in WERS that qualify:

• WERS Total System U-value ≤ 4.0
• WERS Heating Star Rating ≥ 4

…AGG glass products are well positioned in multiple frame types to support projects seeking access to VEU rebate opportunities.

You can also claim all calendar year 2025 projects... if you act fast!

It’s potentially one of the biggest opportunities for compliant high performance glazing in Victoria in years.

🔍 AGG Glass Only Performance Data.
With the closure of Oceania Glass and the end of Australian-made raw float glass production, Australian Glass Group has strategically realigned its import model and secured world-leading glass products from highly reputable global manufacturers.

As part of this transition, some product performance values and technical data have evolved across our range.

To help architects, specifiers, façade consultants, fabricators and glazing professionals navigate these updates, we’ve updated the AGG Glass Only Performance Data Booklet.

This new technical resource provides relevant glass-only data under AFRC/NFRC Standards including:

✔ Colour and appearance comparisons
✔ Thickness & product configuration breakdowns
✔ Visible Light Transmittance (VLT)
✔ Visible Light Reflectance (VLR) – External & Internal
✔ Ultraviolet Light Blockage
✔ Solar (SHGC) & Thermal (U-value) performance metrics
✔ Selectivity values
✔ Acoustic values (Rw)
✔ Glass weight

When specifying glass, performance is about far more than just compliance - it’s about balancing aesthetics, daylight, solar control, acoustics and occupant comfort.

The updated booklet helps provide clearer technical insight for product comparison and specification decisions.

Developed by the AGG Tech & Spec® team.

Case Study Spotlight | Education & Innovation
As part of Monash University’s ongoing Clayton Campus transformation, Building 63 – Faculty of IT has been reimagined into a contemporary, light-filled learning environment that balances transparency, performance and safety.

Designed by searle x waldron architecture and delivered by SHAPE Australia, the project required a high-performance glazing solution capable of enhancing daylight, maintaining clear sightlines and meeting stringent acoustic, thermal and fire-safety requirements — all within a live campus environment.

Working in partnership with Australian Glass Group, SMB Windows delivered a comprehensive internal and external glazing package using Insulglass LowE Plus® clear double glazing, integrated into AWS Australia 426 FrontGLAZE™ window systems.

The result:
• Increased daylight and campus visibility
• Improved thermal stability and acoustic comfort
• Compliant fire and smoke separation solutions
• Precision-manufactured oversized façade glazing

The project was recognised with a Highly Commended Award (VIC) at the AGWA Design Awards - a testament to collaboration, technical rigour and architectural clarity.
