Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: N3 Wind Rating Windows - minimum glass thickness? 20Nov 15, 2010 7:18 pm edegv I'm wondering how you are going with your issue? In the end all the window manufacturer did was say that the windows had been incorrectly labelled in the factory as N2 instead of N3 and then sent someone out to change the stickers on our windows. They also provided some generic documentation (including a copy of the builder's window order) stating that our windows (including the 4.2m bi-parting sliding door) were N3 and that they met the required standards. We have no idea if the windows really meet the requirements. The builder did appear genuinely concerned about the windows meeting the wind rating requirement (I suppose the buck will hit them on the way past on its way to the window manufacturer if something goes wrong), so we made as much of a fuss as we could at that stage of the build and then moved on to the next problem. We've not moved in yet so we won't know how things will go for rattles, leaks, and 'non-blowinedness' until next winter. If something bad does happen with the windows down the track in a storm, then I'm hopeful that the insurance company will be more than happy to go after everyone who may be liable. I still wish we had the budget to go for a decent double glazed product over the single glazed aluminium we've ended up with. Such is life. My land is 260m2 (10m x 26m) located in claymore NSW.
