Why Global Builders Choose Hanstim: Multi-Market Glass Standards, Customization Power, and Integrated Window System Solutions

1. Introduction: Why Glass Standards Matter in Global Projects

In today’s global construction environment, glass standards, energy-efficiency requirements, and climate considerations vary widely across regions.
Australia emphasizes laminated safety glass and strict certification.
North America prioritizes triple glazing and high thermal performance.
Europe prefers white PVB laminated IGUs with a strong focus on aesthetics and energy efficiency.

For contractors, aluminium window distributors, system integrators, and modular home manufacturers working across different regions, choosing a single supplier who understands these variations is critical.
It reduces risk, speeds up project timelines, and ensures smooth compliance with local building codes.

This is why more global builders are choosing Hanstim.

Hanstim is not only an aluminium windows supplier.
We deliver complete glass + aluminium profiles + hardware + system window solutions, ensuring every component meets the target market’s required standards.

2. Hanstim’s Multi-Market Expertise

Hanstim specializes in supplying market-specific glass configurations and aluminium window systems tailored to the requirements of different countries. Our three key focus markets include:

2.1 Australia — AS 1288 / AS 2047 Compliant Glass & Window Systems

Australia faces strong UV exposure, long sunshine hours, and high coastal wind loads. Because of this, the Australian building code requires some of the strictest rules globally.

Typical requirements include:

Laminated safety glass

Low-E insulated glass units

High wind load resistance

Compliance with AS 1288 and AS 2047

Hanstim offers:

• 6.38 / 6.76 / 8.38 / 10.38 laminated glass options
• Low-E laminated IGU configurations
• High-wind-pressure window system designs
• Fully AS 2047-tested aluminium window and door systems

For Australian distributors and builders, our advantage lies in:

• Regional standard experience
• Fast and consistent lead time
• Complete aluminium system window supply

2.2 North America — Triple-Glazed Solutions for Energy Efficiency

Residential and commercial projects in the U.S. and Canada require exceptionally high thermal performance due to long winters and major temperature differences.

Triple-glazed units are therefore widely used:

Typical North American configurations include:

• Triple IGU (three panes + two air gaps)
• Low-E coated glass
• Argon or Krypton filling
• Focus on U-value and SHGC

A common triple glazing specification may include:

• 5mm + 12A + 5mm + 9A + 5mm
• Low-E coatings (single-silver or double-silver options)
• Optional acoustics performance (STC / Rw)

Hanstim works with:

• Modular housing manufacturers
• Aluminium window distributors
• Commercial construction contractors

We provide glass + thermal-break aluminium profiles + complete window systems in one order, minimizing compatibility issues and supply chain risks.

2.3 Europe — White PVB Laminated + IGU for High-End Architectural Requirements

The European market is well-known for its strict demands on aesthetics and energy performance. White PVB laminated glass combined with an IGU is extremely popular among high-end residential and commercial applications.

Why European customers prefer this configuration:

• Higher safety performance
• Enhanced visual purity
• Superior thermal control
• EU-style architectural consistency

Hanstim supplies:

• 6.4mm / 8.4mm / 10.4mm white PVB laminated glass
• Low-E + laminated IGU options
• Systems that support CE project requirements

European customers value color consistency, edge quality, and uniformity, and Hanstim’s strict production control ensures these expectations are met.

3. Customizable Glass Configurations for Different Climates and Applications

Every project has unique technical requirements.
This is why Hanstim places strong emphasis on glass customization.

We design glass solutions based on:

• Climate zone (cold, hot, coastal, desert)
• Energy requirements (U-value, SHGC)
• Acoustic demands (Rw / STC levels)
• Safety needs (tempered, laminated)
• Project type and budget

Common custom configurations include:

• Double-silver Low-E laminated IGU for Australia
• Triple IGU for North America
• White PVB laminated IGU for Europe
• Laminated safety glass for schools, hospitals, public buildings

“Hanstim designs the glazing for your project—not just supplies it.”
This project-oriented approach is what makes Hanstim a reliable B2B partner.

4. One-Stop Integration: Glass + Frames + Hardware + Complete Systems

Unlike suppliers who only deliver glass, Hanstim provides integrated aluminium window solutions, including:

• Aluminium profiles (thermal-break and non-thermal)
• Hardware systems
• Fully assembled aluminium windows and doors
• Technical drawings
• System optimization based on project standards
• Glass deep processing

For B2B clients, integrated supply offers significant advantages:

• A simplified supply chain
• Guaranteed compatibility between components
• Shorter delivery schedules
• Reduced installation and inspection risks
• Consistent engineering quality

This is why Hanstim is often selected as a one-stop aluminium windows supplier for large-scale international projects.

5. Quality Assurance and Compliance

Every glass and aluminium system supplied by Hanstim goes through strict quality assurance procedures to ensure reliability in global markets. These tests include:

• Tempered glass fragmentation inspection
• Laminated glass adhesion and PVB stability tests
• IGU seal and durability tests
• Air / water / wind pressure tests for system windows
• Dimensional, coating, and performance checks

This ensures that projects pass compliance smoothly in:

• Australia
• North America
• Europe
• Asia
• Middle East
• Africa

Quality is not an afterthought at Hanstim—it is our foundation.
