One of our favourite projects recently featured by Country Road.
Joost Bakkers excelled in making a sustainable and economical 'Future Food System' - something that's been over 25 years in the making!

TPS provided the glazed doors and windows, including a huge awning window to the kitchen that can be opened outwards to created a covered outdoor area - and it can be operated by just one person.. Check out the timeline of the project below.

Forster Unico thermally broken steel doors and windows, installed in this beautiful luxurious house near Melbourne.

These doors and windows are also available as BAL-FZ and shortly to be available as BAL-40.

They not only satisfy design aesthetics but maximise energy performance as well.

How does Thermally Broken Steel work? It involves

How does Thermally Broken Steel work?
It involves two pieces of steal surrounding insulation. By separating the steal with insulation, thermal conductivity is limited and temperature is regulated.
What is the benefits?
The thermally broken steel framing system is not only energy efficient but also suitable for architectural applications through to Bushfire Flame Zone applications. The possibilities are endless.

The Sports Hall Libergier in Reims, France use forster thermfix light. This involves thermal insulated curtain walls, extended with sloped glazing, insulated glass on the North and East facade and single glass with thermal sensor on the south side.
The potential designs for thermally broken steel are sleek and eye-catching.

Did you know your steel can be coated differently

Did you know your steel can be coated differently to suit your desired look?
Hot-dipped galvanised thermally broken steel is showcased in Image 1 and 2.
Whereas, powder coated thermally broken steel is shown in Image 3 and 4.
Forster Unico offers the unique option of post-fabrication hot dipped galvanising for doors, windows, awnings, and casement and even lift-and-slide solutions!

Greenhouse By Joost // Fed Square, Melbourne

Joost set us a challenge earlier this year.

Create a large window for the kitchen that would allow a heap of light in, would open out to create a glazed roof to allow a film crew to operate under, could be operated by one person, had to be thermally broken steel, double glazed, and be one panel of glass.

The answer: a Forster Unico outward opening strut supported window. It works like a dream and looks incredible!

Excited to announce that we are proudly supporting Greenhouse by @joostbakker and be part of yet another extraordinary build of a zero waste system project.

TPS’s Steel Windows are manufactured using the energy efficient thermally broken Unico frame from Forster.

Living at this Greenhouse will be @chefmattstone and @jobarrett from late September and innovative cooking techniques will take place. Last photo is the frame of the house being positioned at @fed.square this week.

We will be posting a series of progress and let you in on the BTS via our stories.

Luxury Home // Thornton, Victoria

A luxury house nestled in a secluded country side location just an hour from Melbourne. Forster Unico doors, awning windows and fixed panes achieving a Uw rating of less than 1.9 kW.

More than 150 individual panes of double glazed energy efficient Low-E glass combined with thermally broken door and window profiles keep the heat out in summer, and the cold out out.

Just another example of the range of sustainable door and window solutions from TPS.
