What customers say

Trusted across Ballarat & the goldfields

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 6 Google reviews

“I consider it a rare and wonderful opportunity to be able to engage with such professionalism and high quality workmanship in this day and age. Yes, they are expensive - but you are getting a product that is handmade, faultless and life lasting. I have found the communication second to none - honest to a fault (anything that incurred extra cost was explained and other options explored to save cost). I am excited to experience my home after these windows are in - and enjoy a lot less cost in energy as a result. I could not recommend the team more highly. I'm grateful for their skill.”

“Aaron and Gary did great work rebuilding and retrofitting the sash windows on our home. The new windows look fantastic and they left everything clean after work each day during installation. I'd highly recommend them!”

Common questions

Yes. We regularly match 1900s and Federation profiles, including double & single hung sashes, so replacements sit right at home beside the originals.

That's our speciality — efficient, but classic. We build double-glazed units into timber frames so you get the warmth and quiet without a modern aluminium look.

Usually your builder or carpenter fits them. We make them to the measurements supplied, and Aaron and the team stay available to whoever is installing so the fit is right. We do handle measuring and installation ourselves in some circumstances — ask when you call and we'll tell you straight.
