Meidoor Factory achieved a key milestone in its New Zealand market expansion on September 11, as its awning window and fixed window combination successfully met all requirements of New Zealand’s rigorous fenestration standards. The official test results, released by an accredited laboratory approved by New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), confirmed the product’s compliance with critical performance benchmarks, clearing a major hurdle for Meidoor’s entry into the Kiwi construction sector.
The tested awning window + fixed window unit underwent a series of stringent evaluations aligned with New Zealand’s SNZ TS 4211:2022 (Performance of windows and doors) and NZS 4218:2004 (Energy efficiency of windows, doors and skylights) standards. The results highlighted exceptional performance across all core categories:
Static Load Strength (SLS): ±1250Pa – Demonstrating the unit’s ability to withstand high wind pressures, a critical requirement for New Zealand’s coastal and exposed regions prone to strong gusts.
Operation Force: Pass – Ensuring smooth, easy operation that meets accessibility and usability standards for both residential and commercial applications.
Air Permeability Test: Class 4 – The highest rating for air tightness, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency to align with New Zealand’s Building Code H1 (Energy efficiency) requirements.
Water Tightness Test: 455Pa – Proving resistance to heavy rainfall and water penetration, essential for New Zealand’s temperate, rain-prone climate.
Ultimate Load Strength (ULS): ±2130Pa – Verifying the unit’s structural durability under extreme load conditions, exceeding baseline safety thresholds.
Torsional Strength Test: Pass – Confirming the window frame’s ability to resist twisting forces, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.
These results validate Meidoor’s months of targeted R&D, which focused on adapting its fenestration solutions to New Zealand’s unique climatic and regulatory needs. The awning window + fixed combination, for instance, features multi-chambered thermal break aluminum profiles and Low-E double glazing to enhance insulation—addressing the country’s six climate zone energy demands—while marine-grade anti-corrosion treatments protect against salt spray in coastal areas like Auckland and Wellington.
“We are thrilled with this certification success on September 11,” said a Meidoor technical director. “Every test result reflects our commitment to meeting New Zealand’s strictest standards—from wind resistance to energy efficiency. This isn’t just a pass; it’s proof that our products are built to thrive in New Zealand’s environment and deliver long-term value to local homeowners and developers.”
With this standard compliance secured, Meidoor now moves to finalize CodeMark certification—a voluntary but market-critical endorsement that streamlines product acceptance in New Zealand’s construction projects. The company also plans to partner with local distributors to showcase the certified awning + fixed window units at upcoming industry events, while its Auckland-based support team will provide installation guidance and after-sales service to clients.
Industry analysts note that New Zealand’s fenestration market is growing rapidly, driven by demand for energy-efficient, climate-resilient housing. Meidoor’s certified product, with its proven performance in wind, water, and air tightness, positions the company to capture share among developers and homeowners prioritizing sustainability and durability.
This September 11 milestone builds on Meidoor’s existing success in Australia, where it supplies CodeMark-certified products, and reinforces its strategy of regionalized solutions tailored to local standards. As Meidoor prepares to launch its New Zealand-compliant range, the certification marks a pivotal step in expanding its global footprint in the Asia-Pacific fenestration market.
