Why This System
AGWA membership means Crown Windows products are built to a consistent industry standard - the cleaning protocol for Crown aluminium windows follows the same approach as any Australian Standards-compliant powder-coated aluminium product. Australian Standards compliance for glazing means the glass units are specified to a known performance level - cleaning products that are safe on standard Australian glazing are appropriate for Crown Windows products.
