AUSTRALIAN DESIGN. AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERING. AWARD-WINNING INNOVATION.

We're incredibly proud to announce the Doric Paraflow Dual Blade Louvre System is a Winner in the 2026 Good Design Australia Awards, in the Product Design - Hardware and Building category.

Developed by the Doric team in Australia, Paraflow rethinks what a louvre window can achieve. Its dual glass blade design and 35mm air gap improve:

✔ Thermal efficiency
✔ Acoustic performance
✔ Wind and water resistance
✔ Ventilation
✔ Serviceability

All while using standard louvre glass, making it a practical solution for increasingly demanding performance requirements, including seven-star housing.

The Australian Good Design Awards Jury described Paraflow as:

“An impactful and innovative solution” and “a clever solution that meaningfully advances louvre window technology.”

That is exactly what we set out to create.

To the engineers, designers, product specialists and wider Doric team who took Paraflow from idea to market: this one is yours. 👏

Performance matters most when the site demands more.

Tallowwood Apartments in Rockdale NSW is an 11-storey mixed-use affordable housing development located in a highly connected urban setting, close to rail, road and local amenities.

For this project, Doric | Innovators of Hardware for Windows & Doors Paraflow manual louvre galleries were supplied across 21 corridor-end openings, helping support natural ventilation while meeting higher performance expectations for wind resistance, water pe*******on resistance and acoustic comfort.

With the western elevation facing a rail line and the eastern elevation facing a busy main road, the selected louvre solution needed to deliver more than airflow. It needed to help manage the realities of a demanding urban site, including exposure, weather performance and sound abatement for shared corridor spaces.

Doric Paraflow was selected for its proven product performance, including acoustic performance of up to Rw 32, making it well suited to multi-residential applications where ventilation, weather resistance and noise reduction all need to work together.

A strong example of how the right louvre system can support better outcomes in multi-residential design.

Australian buildings face some of the most demanding conditions in the world.

Extreme heat, coastal exposure, intense UV, cyclonic regions and significant temperature changes all place different demands on building products and systems.

That’s why understanding the environment matters.
For more than 50 years, Doric has developed window and door hardware, security solutions and ventilation systems with Australian conditions, fabrication practices and performance requirements in mind.

Our latest article explores why local knowledge remains important in building product development, and how systems such as Ventus and Paraflow have been developed to respond to the changing performance needs of Australian projects.

Because better building performance starts with understanding where, and how, a product will be used.

Your front door works hard. Does it look like it?

On a heritage or federation-style home, a plain flyscreen can undercut everything else about the facade, even when the rest of the house is detailed down to the trim.

So what actually holds up, style-wise and structurally? Doric's Colonial Cast Panels are cast aluminium, powder coated for the long haul, and detailed enough to suit the house rather than just guard it. Arches, florals, decorative glass: heritage and contemporary options alike.

We broke down what to look for (panel styles, finishes, and how the sizing actually works) in our latest blog.

Some entrances don't just open a door. They set the tone for the whole home.

That's not an accident. It's precision-cast from 100% aluminium alloy, right here in Australia, and UV-stabilised powder coated for lasting colour retention.

Every panel is tested against Australian Standards for corrosion and coating performance (AS/NZS 3715, AS 2331), so the detail you see on day one is still there decades later.

Arches. Florals. Art Deco motifs. Decorative glass. Every design is built to outlast trends, not just survive them, cast the same way it's been cast since Colonial Castings began in 1947.

Heritage homes deserve hardware that understands heritage. That's the standard we cast to, every time.

Elegant. Enduring. Australian.

THE BEST INNOVATIONS AREN'T ALWAYS THE MOST COMPLEX

Innovation is often associated with breakthrough technology.

In practice, the innovations that matter most in hardware and ventilation are usually the ones that remove friction, reduce complexity and improve performance on site.

For more than 50 years, this has been the principle behind Doric product development.

From core hardware through to Ventus Single Blade Louvre Systems and Paraflow Dual Blade Louvre Systems.

So what problem does this product solve?

It's one of the most useful questions to ask during specification, and one that doesn't get asked often enough.

In our latest article, we break down how that thinking has shaped Doric's approach since 1972, and why it still matters when specifying hardware and ventilation systems today.

Australia's climate doesn't play fair. From moderate inland conditions to cyclonic coastal exposure, window systems have to work harder the further north and closer to the coast you go.

In recent testing, Doric's Paraflow Dual Blade Louvre System achieved:
• 600 Pa water pe*******on resistance, the highest result yet for Paraflow
• Ultimate positive and negative test pressures of 8,000 Pa ULS
• Tested at 1853 mm high × 933 mm wide (Overall Frame Width), 782 mm blade width
• Rw 32 acoustic performance

Louvre windows have always delivered on natural ventilation and design flexibility. Weather exposure is what's traditionally limited where they could be specified.

This changes that. Paraflow can now be considered for a significantly broader range of locations and project conditions, including northern and cyclonic-region markets where conventional louvre solutions have historically fallen short.

Behind every Pa rating is a story of repeated testing, refinement and collaboration between our Australian engineering, R&D and technical teams. That's the part of the process people don't see, but it's the reason results like this happen.

Every project is different, and suitability still comes down to site, wind, exposure and certification requirements. If you're weighing up natural ventilation for a high-exposure site, we'd love to talk it through.

Think about the buildings you use every day.

The windows that open smoothly.
The doors that perform reliably.
The ventilation systems that help create comfortable environments.
The hardware that quietly performs year after year.

Most occupants never notice these products.
Until they stop working.
That is the challenge and opportunity of our industry.
The best building products often go unnoticed because they simply do their job exceptionally well.

For more than 54 years, Doric has focused on developing solutions that support the performance of Australian buildings across multiple categories.
Window hardware.
Door hardware.
Security solutions.
Ventilation systems.

Because great buildings are often defined by the products people never need to think about.
