Blue Sky Windows’ uPVC hinged doors combine style, durability, and energy efficiency to suit Australian homes. These doors are an ideal choice for homeowners and Passive House projects, offering a reliable entry solution that enhances security, insulation, and customisation, all designed to perform in Australia’s diverse climate.
uPVC hinged doors are crafted to withstand Australia’s challenging weather conditions. Unlike timber, which can warp, fade, or crack, uPVC resists UV rays, high temperatures, and moisture. This durability ensures your door stays in top condition with minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for Melbourne’s climate and Passive House designs focused on long-term sustainability and low upkeep.
Energy Efficiency and Insulation
uPVC hinged doors are designed with advanced insulation, including double or triple glazing filled with argon gas, to deliver top-tier energy efficiency. This high level of insulation helps keep Australian homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which is ideal for energy-conscious households and Passive House standards. By reducing the need for heating and cooling, uPVC hinged doors can significantly lower energy bills and contribute to a sustainable, eco-friendly home.
Superior Noise Reduction
For homeowners in busy urban areas or near high-traffic streets, uPVC hinged doors offer excellent soundproofing. The dense uPVC material and airtight seals work together to block out unwanted noise, creating a quiet and peaceful indoor environment. This noise reduction feature is particularly beneficial for those living in high-density areas, making it easier to enjoy a calm and comfortable home atmosphere.
Enhanced Home Security
Security is a top priority for Australian homeowners, and uPVC hinged doors are equipped to provide robust protection. Each door includes a multi-point locking system and reinforced frames, making it difficult for intruders to gain entry. Optional child-safe locks add an extra layer of security, making these doors a safe and family-friendly choice.

FAQ
A hinged door is a type of door attached to a frame by hinges, allowing it to open and close along a pivot point on one side. This traditional design makes hinged doors ideal for a range of entryways, from front doors to back or side entrances.
Swing doors and hinged doors are similar, as both open along a pivot point. However, swing doors typically refer to doors that can open in both directions, while hinged doors generally open in only one direction, either inward or outward.
A pivot door rotates on a central pivot point rather than traditional side hinges, allowing it to open from the middle of the door frame. This design is often used for larger doors, while hinged doors are attached to the frame with side hinges, making them more suitable for standard entryways.
Hinged doors are generally more cost-effective than sliding doors, particularly in terms of installation and maintenance. Their simpler mechanism also means fewer repairs are typically needed over time, making them a budget-friendly choice.
Hinged doors are versatile, easy to install, and offer excellent security with multi-point locking options. They provide good insulation and noise reduction, and are available in various styles and finishes, allowing for customisation to suit any home.
Yes, a sliding door can usually be replaced with a hinged door, though some adjustments to the frame may be required. Hinged doors can be a great replacement option, offering a more traditional look and enhanced security.
