Why aluplast’s Cool Colours Outperform the Rest

When it comes to high-performance windows and doors, the surface technology behind the frame is just as important as what’s inside. At Premier Windows, we’re proud to supply aluplast profiles featuring Continental’s advanced Cool Colours and Cool Colours PLUS films—setting a new standard for durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics in the harsh Australian climate.

Why Surface Technology Matters

Window and door profiles need to withstand everything from relentless sun to wild weather swings. Traditional uPVC materials can absorb heat, leading to warping, fading, and reduced performance over time. That’s why aluplast’s partnership with Continental brings such a game-changer to the table.

Cool Colours: Advanced Heat Reflection

Continental’s patented Cool Colours pigments are engineered to reflect up to 80% of the near-infrared radiation from sunlight. What does this mean for your home? Window frames that stay measurably cooler, even in direct sun, which extends their lifespan and keeps your interiors more comfortable.

Visual Comparison

• Standard films: Absorb more heat, appear darker, and get hotter.
• Cool Colours films: Reflect more heat, appear lighter, and stay cooler.

Cool Colours PLUS: Extra Protection for Extreme Conditions

For those who want the ultimate in durability, Cool Colours PLUS adds a white reflective layer on the back of the film. This innovation further reduces heat absorption—especially important for dark-coloured frames or homes in extreme climates like Australia.

How aluplast Differs from Kommerling and Deceuninck

While Kommerling and Deceuninck are well-known names in the uPVC window industry, aluplast’s approach to surface technology stands out in several key ways:

• Superior Heat Reflection: aluplast profiles with Continental films use patented Cool Colours and Cool Colours PLUS technology to reflect up to 80% of solar radiation. Many competitor profiles, including those from Kommerling and Deceuninck, rely on standard foils that absorb more heat—especially in darker colours—making them less suited to Australia’s extreme sun.
  
  
• Rigorous Local Testing: aluplast’s films are extensively tested both in labs and in real-world Australian conditions (including at Allunga Labs in Townsville, QLD), ensuring durability, colour retention, and performance that’s proven for our climate. Kommerling and Deceuninck offer robust profiles, but may not have the same level of climate-specific testing or patented reflective technology.
  
  
• Design Flexibility: With aluplast, you get a wide range of stylish finishes—from Smooth White to contemporary greys and realistic woodgrains, plus dual-colour options for customising inside and out. These advanced films keep their look and performance over time, even in dark shades where competitors’ finishes may fade or overheat.
  
  
• Optimised for Australia: Premier Windows selects only the best-performing films specifically for WA’s tough conditions, so you know your investment is protected.

Premium Finishes: aludec & woodec

aluplast doesn’t just lead in performance—they deliver on style, too. Two standout finish options, aludec and woodec, offer homeowners and architects even more ways to personalise their spaces:

aludec

If you love the sleek, contemporary look of aluminium but want the thermal and acoustic benefits of uPVC, aludec is the answer. Available in a range of modern greys, deep blacks, and popular Colorbond-inspired tones like Surfmist, aludec provides a matte, metallic appearance with the durability and low maintenance of advanced film technology. These finishes are perfect for modern builds or renovations seeking a clean, architectural edge—without the drawbacks of real metal frames.

woodec

For those who prefer a natural touch, woodec brings the warmth and texture of timber to your windows and doors, all with the performance benefits of uPVC. Choose from a curated palette of woodgrains, including Turner Oak Malt, Toffee, Walnut, Alpine, and Concrete. The realistic grain and tactile finish make woodec ideal for heritage homes, contemporary spaces wanting a touch of nature, or anyone seeking a premium wood look without the upkeep.

Dual-Colour Customisation

Both aludec and woodec are available with dual-colour frame options, allowing you to match your home’s exterior and interior style perfectly. Whether you want a bold exterior statement and a classic white interior—or a seamless woodgrain look throughout—Premier Windows can deliver.

Local Testing in Australia

aluplast’s films are put through their paces at the renowned Allunga Exposure Laboratory in Townsville, Queensland. This site is internationally recognised for its extreme UV exposure and intense tropical weather, making it one of the most demanding real-world environments for outdoor product testing. Here, window profiles and film samples are mounted on large racks and exposed to relentless sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, and monsoonal rains—conditions that truly reflect what Australian homes endure.

The Bottom Line

By choosing aluplast’s surface technology, you’re investing in window and door systems that look better, last longer, and perform better—no matter the weather. With advanced heat-reflective films, rigorous local testing, and more design choices—including premium aludec and woodec finishes—Premier Windows delivers a true edge over other brands.
