Where We Make Windows For

Terraces, apartments, townhouses, new builds. Any opening can have a window made to order.

Every enquiry starts with two simple details: the suburb and the kind of home. Together they shape the style, frame and glass that make sense before anyone looks at a tape measure. This page sets out the homes custom windows are made for and what to say about yours when you get in touch.

SCOPE

S1–S3

S1 · ANY WINDOW TYPE

Casement, sash, awning, sliding, fixed and bay windows can all be made to order. The Window Styles Guide sets out each one.

S2 · ANY KIND OF HOME

Period houses, apartments, townhouses and newer homes all have different openings. Each window is made to fit the opening it is for.

S3 · START WITH WHERE

Put your suburb and property type at the top of your Window Enquiry. Those two details give context to everything else you describe.

MARK · PROPERTY

Homes that windows are made for

Six common property types, each with its own questions. Find the row that matches your home.

MARK / TYPE / NOTES

Period houses

Victorian and Edwardian terraces, cottages and villas usually call for timber sashes, fine glazing bars and proportions that match the facade. A new window can keep that look and still take better glass. See Windows for Period Homes.

Apartments and units

Openings in apartment buildings often repeat across a facade, so size, frame colour and style usually follow the building. Owners corporation rules may limit what can change, so check them before you enquire.

P3 · P4

Townhouses

Tight sites and shared walls put windows close to neighbours and streets. Glass chosen for privacy and noise matters more here. Glazing Options Explained compares acoustic and Low-E glass.

Newer houses

Wide openings, sliding panels and fixed glass are common. Frame choice decides how slim a large span can look. The Frame Materials Guide compares timber, aluminium and uPVC.

P5 · P6

Extensions and renovations

A new room often needs windows that match an older part of the house, or openings that were never there before. Both start with clear sizes and a note about the existing windows nearby.

A single window

One rotten sash, one cracked frame, one opening that never fitted properly. A single window is made to order just like a whole house of them. Restore or Replace? helps you decide whether it needs to be new.

MARK · REFERENCE

WHY PROPERTY TYPE MATTERS

The building writes the brief

A terrace and an apartment tower can share a suburb and still need very different windows.

Location tells part of the story: the era of the street, exposure to wind and traffic noise, and how easy it is to reach the opening. Property type tells the rest. Together they point to sensible style, frame and glass choices, so the first reply can deal with your actual window and not a generic one.
