Cold at home this winter? It’s not something you have to live with.

Ambiance uPVC windows and doors can be easily installed in existing homes, and for most homes, upgrading windows is one of the most effective ways to improve warmth without relying on constant heating.

Whether you're renovating or simply replacing your old timber or aluminium joinery, Ambiance uPVC windows are designed to fit into existing openings with minimal disruption. That means you can enjoy the benefits of modern windows without major structural changes:

- Dramatically increased winter comfort
- Eliminate chilly draughts & noisy neighbours
- Look good forever, with no maintenance

At Ambiance by STÄRKE, our windows and doors are specifically designed for New Zealand homes, ensuring a precise fit and performance that stands up to local conditions.

Ever heard about a new build with condensation on the windows?

It happens more often than people realise, even when the home meets the building standards. It’s a huge problem, but it doesn’t have to be!

In NZ, we are required to insulate our walls and ceiling, and more recently, install double glazing to provide warmer, comfier homes. But when windows aren't installed properly, it breaks the insulation line, allowing cold to flow inside and condensation and mould to form.

Installing windows properly isn’t rocket science. They should be installed recessed into the wall, not hanging out in the cold like they’re normally positioned.

Why are recessed windows best?

- More comfort: Recessed windows align insulation layers in the window and wall, ensuring there is no gap for heat loss and chilly draughts

- Aesthetics: The recess creates depth and interesting shadow lines for a modern style

- Design: it’s how high-performance windows were designed to be installed, and makes a noticeable difference to how a home performs

It’s cold in your home. The heater is running constantly, but you never feel comfy.

Why is that?

It’s easy to assume it's your heater or the insulation that’s the problem, but often it’s the windows.

Windows are one of the largest surfaces in your home, and thin sheets of glass and old aluminium frames let heat escape faster than you’d expect. No wonder it’s cold!

It’s one of those things most of us just accept, but it doesn’t have to be like that.

Ambiance uPVC windows by STÄRKE are insulated, warm and air-tight, so when you heat a room, it stays warm longer. With Ambiance windows you don't have to rely on heaters 24/7 or worry about a huge power bill to have a warm home.

Amazing product, amazing partners!

Ambiance by STÄRKE are proud to support Flexi House, and it was great to be onsite at their latest project in Waikanae last week.

The discerning homeowners of this high performance build chose Ambiance uPVC windows by STÄRKE after doing their due diligence, including a factory tour, and we can promise that soon they will be experiencing more comfort than they expected!

The build included fully glazed windows, hinged and even sliding doors being installed into panels offsite, then being craned into place for a super-quick high performance build.

Check out the video to see how this home was assembled in only 6 days and to hear from Andre at Flexi House about choosing Ambiance by STÄRKE.

When it comes to windows, durability matters more than most people realise.

In New Zealand, we are exposed to heavy rain, humidity, high sun exposure, and salty coastal air, putting our windows under pressure. Over time, that can lead to corrosion and deterioration.

That's where uPVC is different.

Unlike traditional wood or aluminium frames, uPVC won't rust, rot, warp, or succumb to corrosion, which is why it's the most widely used window material in the world.

Ambiance uPVC by STÄRKE is designed specifically for New Zealand conditions, able to handle everything from coastal environments to high sun exposure. It is incredibly durable, making it a reliable long-term solution. With proper care, Ambiance uPVC products are expected to last 40-50 years without significant deterioration, giving you peace of mind.

On site at a Platinum Homes show home, Peter chats with Sam Watt from Platinum Homes Rodney, a licensed building practitioner with 25+ years in the industry, about what good joinery feels like.

The first thing they notice is the quiet. Then the comfort: balanced indoor temperatures that work hand in hand with heat recovery and airtightness.

The details that make the difference in Ambiance uPVC windows and doors by STÄRKE include multi-point locking, full-perimeter sealing, and double rubber seals.

It’s a step up from traditional ranch sliders and single-latch awning windows, with better security and a much tighter close you can see and feel.

Windows and doors play a huge role in keeping homes at a comfortable temperature year-round.

And the good news is, we have a lot of control over indoor comfort when we design for the conditions.

Before you build, learn the key steps for designing out overheating:

╰┈➤ first, reduce solar gain through orientation, shading and window size
╰┈➤ then, fine-tune performance through frame and glazing specification
╰┈➤ and finally, manage any residual heat through ventilation
