Heritage Bungalow Restoration in Kew
Heritage Window Restoration
Before & After
The Challenge
A beautiful 1920s Californian bungalow in Kew with original timber windows that were rattling, drafty, and rotting. The owners wanted to maintain the heritage character and comply with council requirements while achieving modern thermal and acoustic performance. Finding heritage double glazed windows in Melbourne that could replicate the original bungalow profiles while delivering contemporary energy efficiency was essential for this Kew restoration.
Our Solution
We manufactured custom heritage-style double glazed windows Melbourne that exactly replicated the original timber profiles, including the distinctive bungalow-style divided lights and hardware. Each window was custom-made to match the existing openings perfectly for this Kew heritage home, with heritage colors and authentic detailing. Our heritage uPVC windows feature modern double glazing for superior thermal performance and acoustic insulation while maintaining the authentic Californian bungalow aesthetic.
