One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch recently hosted its first major milestone event, welcoming a full house for the All Blacks v France test match. Behind the new sport and concert venue is an impressive new facade - a major window and glazing system with over 27km of Vantage aluminium extrusion supplied by Vantage manufacturer Hagley Windows & Doors.
This project features high-performance IGUs from AGP Architectural Glass Products as a part of the window systems supplied.

Are you specifying glass for light and performance? Homes today feature more expansive glazing than ever and who wouldn't want to maximise views and natural light? But when we design for more light, glazing performance becomes more important than ever.

Homes today are designed with more glass than ever; opening up to light, views, and north-facing living,
but greater glazing demands greater performance. The more glass in a design, the more heat you invite from the sun. For superior solar control, specify AGP’s highest performing Low-E glass; Solux Ultra®.

What makes a window system truly suited to New Zealand conditions? Local manufacturing gives us more than proximity - it gives us the ability to design with a clear understanding of the conditions our systems need to perform in, from wind and rain to changing temperatures across the country.
Our window systems go through rigorous performance testing at our in-house testing booth. We do this to ensure we meet the New Zealand Building Code requirements.
We are privileged to make our systems here, close to the manufacturers, builders, architects and homeowners who rely on them.
