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.

FAQs

What are bay and rake windows?

Bay windows are a window configuration where multiple panels are angled outward from the main wall of a building, creating a projection that extends beyond the exterior wall line. Rake windows follow the pitch or angle of a roofline, sitting at a specific incline rather than vertical. Both configurations allow more natural light into a space than a standard flat window and create a sense of additional space within the room. Accent Windows manufactures custom aluminium bay and rake windows in Melbourne for residential and commercial properties, designed and built to your exact dimensions and angle specifications.

What are the benefits of aluminium bay windows for Melbourne homes?

Aluminium bay windows offer several practical and aesthetic benefits for Melbourne homes. They draw in significantly more natural light than standard flat windows by capturing light from multiple angles simultaneously. They create a visual sense of more space within the room and provide a wider outlook to gardens, streetscapes, and outdoor areas. They flow well with both traditional and contemporary architectural styles and can be configured as fixed or openable panels depending on your ventilation requirements. When specified with double glazing, they also contribute to improved thermal performance across Melbourne’s variable seasons.

What is the difference between a bay window and a rake window?

A bay window projects outward from the wall at an angle, typically with a central panel flanked by two angled side panels, creating a three-sided projection. A rake window is installed at an angle that follows the slope or pitch of a roof or architectural line rather than sitting vertically. Bay windows are generally used at ground or upper floor level to expand a room’s outlook and light. Rake windows are most commonly used in rooms with pitched ceilings, extensions, and architectural builds where the window must follow a specific roof angle.

Can aluminium bay and rake windows be double glazed?

Yes. Our aluminium bay and rake windows are available with single glazed up to 5.38mm, thick glazed options, double glazed up to 28mm, and a full range of tinted and obscure glass options. Double glazing is recommended for Melbourne properties where thermal comfort and energy efficiency are priorities, as the larger glass area of bay windows can otherwise contribute to significant heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Our bay and rake windows can also be specified to BAL-40 bushfire attack level requirements for properties in designated bushfire-prone areas.

Are aluminium bay windows suitable for commercial properties?

Yes. Aluminium bay windows are a strong choice for commercial properties including offices, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and display environments. Their multi-panel angled configuration maximises natural light penetration into commercial interiors, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. In retail and hospitality settings, bay windows also create an attractive and welcoming street presence. Accent Windows manufactures bay windows with commercial design pedigree and single or double glazing options suitable for commercial building specifications across Melbourne.

Walk-ins are welcome at our showroom at 5 Diligent Drive, Bayswater North, Monday to Saturday, with no appointment required.

What glass is recommended for bay and rake windows?

Bay windows typically combine several panes facing largely one direction, which means orientation plays a significant role in the glazing conversation. A north or west-facing bay window captures more solar heat in summer, making double glazing or Low-E glass worth discussing to reduce heat gain and improve comfort. For bay windows where natural light across a larger combined glass area is the priority, a high light-transmission double glazed unit maintains up to 80% visible light transmission while still improving thermal performance. For rake windows following a roofline pitch, toughened safety glass is typically required under AS 1288 for roof-adjacent applications. Your Area Manager will confirm the right glass specification for your bay or rake configuration based on orientation, size, and energy goals.
