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.)?

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.

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.

FAQs

What are aluminium French doors?

Aluminium French doors are a double-door system featuring large glass panels set within aluminium frames, hinged on either side of a central opening. They are designed to create a seamless visual and physical connection between two spaces, most commonly a living area and an outdoor space such as a patio, garden, or alfresco area. Accent Windows manufactures custom aluminium French doors in Melbourne with a full range of glazing, colour, and hardware options to suit any residential or commercial property, all made to measure at our Bayswater North factory.

What is the difference between French doors and bifold doors?

French doors consist of two hinged panels that swing open from a central point, one to each side. Bifold doors use multiple panels connected by hinges that fold and stack to one or both sides of the frame. French doors suit smaller to medium-sized openings where a classic, elegant hinged-door look is the priority. Bifold doors suit wider openings where a large clear span is the goal. If space-saving operation is important, sliding or stacker doors are generally the better choice over both French and bifold configurations, as neither requires swing clearance into the room or outdoor area. All options are available from Accent Windows in Melbourne with single or double glazed options and custom sizing.

Are aluminium French doors suitable for indoor-outdoor living in Melbourne?

Yes. Aluminium French doors are a popular choice for Melbourne homes looking to improve the connection between indoor living spaces and outdoor entertaining areas. When opened, they create a wide, welcoming transition between inside and outside. When closed, their large glass panels allow natural light to flow through and maintain clear views of the garden or patio. Double glazed aluminium French doors also help manage Melbourne’s temperature extremes, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while reducing street and outdoor noise entering the room.

Can aluminium French doors be double glazed?

Yes. Our aluminium French doors are available with both single and double glazed glass panels. Double glazing provides significantly better thermal insulation and acoustic performance compared to single glazed alternatives, making double glazed French doors well suited to Melbourne homes where energy efficiency and noise reduction are a priority. Glass selection and installation follows AS 1288 where applicable. For properties in bushfire-prone areas, selected French door systems can be specified up to BAL-40, subject to frame, glass, hardware, and project requirements being assessed against AS 3959.

Do French doors need swing clearance inside or outside the home?

Yes, and this is an important practical consideration before choosing French doors. Because both panels hinge outward or inward, you need clear space on both the interior and exterior side of the opening to allow the doors to swing fully open without obstruction. For outdoor areas with furniture, a bbq, or a raised deck close to the door, an inward-opening configuration may be the better choice. For rooms where floor space is tight directly behind the door, outward-opening avoids the panels swinging into furniture. Our team assesses clearance on both sides during the measure and quote to confirm the right opening direction for your space.

What customisation options are available for aluminium French doors?

Accent Windows French doors are fully custom manufactured to your specifications. Customisation options include frame colour and powder-coat finish, glass type including clear, tinted, and obscure options in single or double glazed configurations, panel sizing to suit your exact opening dimensions, and lockable hardware styles. French doors can be configured to open inward or outward depending on your space and preference, and every detail is tailored to suit the style and character of your property.

Are aluminium French doors secure?

Yes. Our aluminium French doors are fitted with advanced locking systems and heavy-duty hinges designed for long-term strength and security. The aluminium framing is inherently rigid and resistant to forced entry. Where required, our French doors can be specified to comply with AS 2047, the Australian standard for windows and external glazed doors, which covers performance criteria including structural strength, air infiltration, and water penetration resistance. Lockable hardware options are available across our full French door range.

Where are French doors best used in a Melbourne home or business?

In residential properties, French doors work best for connecting living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms to outdoor spaces such as gardens, patios, and alfresco areas, particularly where the opening is small to medium in width and a classic hinged-door aesthetic suits the home’s style. In commercial settings, they are a natural fit for cafes, restaurants, offices, and retail stores where a welcoming, traditional entrance or indoor-outdoor connection is needed. For wider openings or high-traffic commercial entrances, bifold or sliding configurations are usually the more practical choice.

Does Accent Windows manufacture French doors in Melbourne?

Yes. Accent Windows designs and manufactures aluminium French doors at our factory in Bayswater North, Melbourne, with over 45 years of experience in the aluminium door and window industry. Every door is custom made to your exact measurements and specifications with no standard off-the-shelf sizes. We manage the full process from design and manufacture through to installation and aftercare. Our French doors are suitable for residential homes, retail spaces, restaurants, and commercial properties across Melbourne. All supply and installation projects are backed by our 15-year warranty.

What is the best glass for aluminium French doors?

French doors are commonly positioned between a living area and an outdoor space, which means the glass choice affects both everyday comfort and how well the room holds temperature when the doors are closed. Safety compliance under AS 1288 requires Grade A glazing in door applications. For thermal comfort, double glazing is available across our French door range and makes a measurable difference on south or west-facing doors that experience significant heat loss or gain. For French doors near a busy road or shared boundary, acoustic laminated glass is worth raising with your Area Manager. It provides noise reduction without compromising the natural light and clear views that make French doors a popular choice. Your Area Manager will recommend the right glazing for your project at the quoting stage.
