What are the advantages of aluminium windows over uPVC or timber?

Aluminium window and door replacements are stronger and slimmer. This means you get more glass and natural light. They don’t rot or warp like timber, and they also won’t fade or crack like uPVC. They’re designed for low maintenance and long-term use. Our aluminium solutions are a smart upgrade. They add value to your home or commercial space.

Do aluminium windows perform well in Melbourne’s climate?

Yes. Melbourne has changing weather, sometimes all four seasons in one day. But don’t stress out, our fully Australian-made aluminium door and window replacements are manufactured to handle such situations. With the right glazing, they keep your home comfortable all year.

What is a thermal break in aluminium frames, and why is it important?

A thermal break is a layer inside the frame that stops heat from entering through the aluminium. It improves insulation. Best for making your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They also save big on electricity bills.

Which glazing options do you offer (double glazing, Low-E, etc.)?

We offer everything from standard single glazing through to double glazing, low-E glass, acoustic glass, and tinted options. All glazing is custom-made locally.

Can I choose custom shapes or sizes for my windows and doors?

Yes. Every product we make is built to order at our local facility. So the custom designs are no problem. Whatever your choice is, we create a bespoke solution that fits perfectly with your living or commercial space.

What kinds of opening styles do your aluminium door systems support?

Our aluminium doors come in a wide range of styles. We supply sliding, stacking, French, hinged, and bi-fold doors and more. Each one has its own advantage. From space-saving sliders to bi-folds that open up a whole wall, we’ll guide you on the best fit for your home.

Do you provide installation services?

Absolutely. We offer professional installation services so that all our aluminium windows and doors in Melbourne are fitted to perfection. Our experienced team handles everything, including delivery, fitting, and finishing touches. With us, you can be sure that your installation will always be treated with care and precision.

How long does your installation process take?

Most installations take just a few days. But it also depends on the size of your project. As we manage the whole process, everything is done efficiently and to Australian standards.

What does your installation package include (seals, flashing, clean-up)?

We take care of the full job. According to our installation packages, we remove old frames of your windows and doors, fit our new aluminium solution with proper seal and flashing. Once our work is done, we clean the site before leaving. Our team at Accent Windows makes the entire aluminium doors and windows installation process easy for you and gives you peace of mind.

What warranty do you provide on windows, doors, hardware, and installation?

We offer a 15-year warranty on all aluminium windows, doors, glazing and hardware when supplied and installed by us. For supply-only orders, a 7-year warranty applies. This ensures long-term confidence in the quality and durability of our products.

How do I maintain aluminium windows and doors to keep them lasting longer?

Aluminium is very easy to look after. A quick wash with mild soapy water a few times a year keeps the frames looking fresh. For hardware like locks and rollers, a little lubricant now and then will keep everything working smoothly for years.

Can I replace my old windows and doors with aluminium ones?

Yes, we possess hands-on experience in replacing aluminium windows and doors across diverse complexities. Whether you are upgrading from timber, steel, or older aluminium frames, our team will work with you to replace your old windows and doors with sleek, modern designs.

What makes Accent Windows’ aluminium doors and windows different?

Our products stand out for their superior craftsmanship, Australian-made quality, and customisation options. Each aluminium window and door is designed to meet Australian standards, bringing durability, energy efficiency, and style to both residential and commercial properties.

Casement Windows Melbourne

Custom Aluminium Casement Windows for Melbourne Homes & Commercial Spaces

Accent Windows is a Melbourne-based manufacturer of custom aluminium casement windows, designed to maximise natural light, airflow, and unobstructed views. Side-hinged and outward-opening, casement windows are ideal for kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and any space where full ventilation and clear sightlines matter. Every window is locally made to AS 2047, fitted with ergonomic lockable handles, and backed by our 15-year warranty on supply-and-install jobs across Melbourne.

Casement windows open outward on side hinges, giving you a 100% clear opening for maximum airflow – unlike sliding or awning windows, where only part of the frame can open at any time. That makes them particularly well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, where catching a cross-breeze can cool a room without running air conditioning.

Key Features of Our Aluminium Casement Windows

Choose from a range of frame colours, glass options, and configurations to match any residential or commercial project. Whether you’re renovating a period home or fitting out a new build, our casement windows integrate with any architectural style.

Obscure Glass for Privacy

Why Accent Windows Is Melbourne’s Go-To for Casement Windows

For over 45 years, Accent Windows has manufactured and installed aluminium casement windows across Melbourne – from single-window replacements in heritage homes to full commercial fit-outs. Every window is built at our Bayswater North facility using locally sourced aluminium, ensuring tight quality control and full compliance with Australian Standards.

We don’t outsource manufacturing, we don’t import pre-cut frames, and we don’t sub-contract installs to third parties. From measure to manufacture to install, one team owns the process.

Viridian Glass is Accent Windows' preferred glass partner

Australia’s largest glass processor, with over 170 years of local manufacturing heritage. We work closely with Viridian across many projects, and we also source quality glazing from other trusted Australian manufacturers where a project calls for it; every glass product we install, regardless of manufacturer, complies with the relevant Australian Standards (including AS 1288).

Rather than a single fixed specification, our Area Managers recommend the glazing solution that best fits your casement & awning windows. Fully sealing sashes make casement and awning windows a good candidate for double glazing where thermal or acoustic performance matters to you. The options below show some of the Viridian glass Accent commonly recommends for this product, as a starting point for that conversation – not a fixed menu, and your final specification will be tailored to your project.

FAQs

What are aluminium casement windows?

Aluminium casement windows are side-hinged windows that swing open outward on hinges along one vertical edge, similar to a door. They provide a 100% clear opening, meaning the entire window sash can open fully to allow maximum airflow and ventilation. Accent Windows manufactures custom aluminium casement windows in Melbourne for residential and commercial properties, with a full range of frame colours, glazing options from 4mm single-glazed to 24mm double-glazed units, and configurations to suit any architectural style.

What is the difference between casement windows and awning windows?

Casement windows are hinged on the side and swing outward from one edge, providing a wide, unobstructed opening and maximum airflow. Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them better suited to positions where rain protection during ventilation is needed. Casement windows are the better choice when maximum ventilation and a large clear opening are the priority. Awning windows are better suited to bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens where ventilation during rain is a common requirement. Both are available from Accent Windows in Melbourne with single and double glazing options.

Why are aluminium casement windows a popular choice in Melbourne?

Aluminium casement windows are popular in Melbourne homes and commercial spaces because they deliver 100% clear opening ventilation, making them one of the most effective window types for natural airflow. Their side-hinged design works in tight spaces where sliding windows cannot, and their slim aluminium frames maximise glass area and natural light. They are manufactured to Australian Standard AS2047 for homes and commercial premises, are suitable for new builds and renovations, and integrate with any architectural style from contemporary to traditional.

Can aluminium casement windows be fitted with obscure glass for privacy?

Yes. Accent Windows casement windows are available with obscure glass options for privacy without sacrificing natural light. This makes them particularly well suited to bathrooms, ensuites, and ground floor rooms facing neighbouring properties or street frontages. Our casement windows can also be specified with tinted glass to reduce glare and heat gain in rooms with significant sun exposure. The full range of glazing options includes single glazed, thick glazed, and double glazed configurations up to 24mm.

Are aluminium casement windows energy efficient?

Yes. Our aluminium casement windows are available with single and double glazed options to support NCC 2022 energy compliance requirements. Double glazed casement windows significantly improve thermal performance by reducing heat transfer in both directions, keeping Melbourne homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Glass options including Low-E coatings further improve energy performance by reflecting radiant heat. Our casement windows can also be specified to BAL-40 bushfire attack level for properties in designated bushfire-prone areas across Victoria.

What are the key features of Accent Windows casement windows?

Accent Windows aluminium casement windows are manufactured with several standout features. They are manufactured to Australian Standard AS2047 for homes and external glass doors. The side-hinged design works in tight spaces where sliding and awning windows cannot. Single and double-glazed options support NCC 2022 energy compliance. Ergonomic lockable handles deliver security and smooth operation. Precision engineering ensures quality hinges and multi-point locks for smooth operation and a weathertight seal. And the durable aluminium frames resist warping, rusting, and fading, engineered for Melbourne’s four seasons.

How do I get a quote for casement windows in Melbourne?

Contact Accent Windows to request a free measure and quote for casement windows at your Melbourne property. Our team will assess your openings, confirm the right configuration, glazing option, and colour for your project, and provide a detailed quote covering supply and installation. We provide a complete supply and installation service across Melbourne, including full replacement of old timber, steel, or aluminium windows with modern casement units. Walk-ins are welcome at our showroom at 5 Diligent Drive, Bayswater North, Monday to Saturday, with no appointment required.

Can casement windows be double glazed and what are the options?

Yes. Casement windows are an excellent candidate for double glazing because they seal fully when closed, which means the double glazed unit can deliver its full thermal and acoustic performance without air leaking around the sash. For thermal comfort, quality residential double glazing achieves U-Values as low as 1.40, making a measurable difference to how well a room holds temperature in Melbourne’s winters and summers. For casement windows in noise-sensitive positions near busy roads, rail lines, or flight paths, acoustic laminated glass is worth discussing. A 6.5mm acoustic laminated unit can match the performance of 10.38mm standard laminate at reduced weight and thickness. Your Area Manager will confirm the right double glazed specification for your casement windows based on orientation and project goals.
