Arana Hills windows, made just up the road in Brendale
Our factory and showroom sit at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, roughly a 12 km, 18 minute drive from Arana Hills. We won't pretend to have an office in the suburb; there isn't one, and there doesn't need to be. A large service fleet covers the Pine Rivers corridor, and Arana Hills jobs travel as part of those regular runs from the Brendale base. The measure and quote still cost you nothing.

Why Arana Hills chooses custom aluminium glass windows
Three building eras share Arana Hills’ streets, and each one left different windows behind. Camden Park came first, opened in 1956 as the Shire of Pine Rivers’ first modern residential estate; the area took the name Arana Hills in 1962. Local histories then record estates spreading north-west through the 1960s and 70s, a mix of chamferboard timber houses and later brick homes built on steep hills. The same records note a smaller pocket of 1990s housing in the Arlington estates near Collins Road, hard up against Bunyaville State Forest.
That history shapes the window work. Census data puts separate houses at 86.9% of occupied dwellings here, and 78.8% of homes are owner-occupied, almost half still with a mortgage. People stay. So the windows coming out are usually the ones the house was built with. In our trade experience, openings of that age on sloping ground rarely sit at a tidy stock size. Force a factory-standard window in anyway and you’re packing gaps and hoping.
We work the other way round. Measure first, then make. Each window is fabricated to its measured opening at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory, roughly 12 km from Arana Hills. You can have it as a sliding, awning, casement, double-hung or louvre window, single or double glazed. And because our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing alongside Cert III in Carpentry, an old chamferboard wall that needs timber work before the frame will sit square gets handled by the same crew.
The hills bring urgent work too. Queensland Places records severe storms causing widespread damage to Arana Hills houses in 2008. When that happens, a smashed window can’t wait on an interstate factory queue. Ours are made up the road.
Aluminium glass windows we make for Arana Hills
Every style below is made to your measured opening at Brendale, in your choice of frame colours and glass types. Pick the operation that suits the room; the sizing is our problem.
Common window problems we solve in Arana Hills
Custom sizing for non-standard older openings
Arana Hills housing spans the 1956 Camden Park estate, the 1960s and 70s timber and brick estates on the hills, and a 1990s Arlington pocket. Three eras of framing habits mean few openings match a current stock size, in our experience. A forced stock window leaves you with gap-filler where glass should be and a frame that binds. We fabricate each window to the measured opening, including non-standard sizing for older homes. Crews hold Cert III in Carpentry as well as Glass and Glazing, so timber openings can be squared up before the frame goes in.
Privacy glass on compact lots
Nearly nine in ten dwellings here are separate houses, and on sloped streets homes often sit above or below their neighbours. A clear bathroom or bedroom window can look straight into the block next door. Rooms that should get light and air end up with the blinds shut all day. We offer multiple glass types across all five window styles. On tight boundaries, louvres with Breezeway blades let you angle for breeze without giving the neighbours a view.
Storm damage window replacement
Queensland Places records severe storms causing widespread damage to Arana Hills houses in 2008. Exposed hillside homes take the wind head-on in a big storm. A broken window is a same-day security and weather problem, not a next-month one. We handle glass repair and replacement as well as full window replacement. Fabricating at Brendale means a non-standard replacement isn't stuck in an outside factory's queue.
7-star energy rules on new window work (NCC)
Since 1 May 2024, new builds and major renovations in Queensland must reach a 7-star NatHERS rating under NCC 2022, and glazing is among the most influential factors. The wrong window choice can sink the energy assessment on a new build or a big reno. We supply double-glazed units and a choice of glass types for that work. For a like-for-like replacement the 7-star rule generally doesn't apply, and we'll say so instead of upselling you.

Custom window work
Architectural glass windows in Arana Hills
Some Arana Hills jobs go past a like-for-like swap. A renovation on a sloping block might want a full-height window facing the valley, glass turning a corner, a bank of louvres down the side of a deck, or simply a size no catalogue lists. If you've been searching for architectural glass windows, that's the work the phrase points to, and we build it from the same five window types we make every day. Windows are fabricated to custom width and height configurations, so a designer's odd-shaped opening is just another measurement to us. We build on Vantage aluminium systems with Breezeway blades for the louvre banks, and where glass runs full height or close to the floor, AS 1288 calls for Grade A safety glass, which we factor in from the quote stage.
Why Arana Hills trusts Superior Glass
Superior Glass Brisbane has been family owned and operated since 1972. We're a manufacturer and installer, not a middleman: windows are made at our 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, then fitted by our own crews. Those installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing plus Cert III in Carpentry, which earns its keep in older timber-framed homes. We're QBCC licensed and insured. Window installations carry a workmanship guarantee. We build with Vantage aluminium systems and Breezeway louvre blades. Quotes are free and include an on-site measure. And the reviews customers leave tend to repeat two things: decades-old windows replaced promptly, and the site left clean when the crew drove off.

Aluminium Glass Windows in Arana Hills: your questions answered
Yes, that's the bulk of what custom fabrication is for. We measure your actual opening and make the window to that width and height at our Brendale factory, including non-standard sizing for older homes. Our installers also hold Cert III in Carpentry, so if a timber-framed opening needs squaring up before the new frame goes in, the same crew handles it.
Our factory and showroom are at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, roughly a 12 km, 18 minute drive away. We don't keep an office in Arana Hills itself; the suburb sits inside the regular runs our service fleet makes across the Pine Rivers corridor. Book through our contact page or call 07 3353 1588 and we'll come to you.
Usually not. The 7-star NatHERS requirement under NCC 2022 has applied in Queensland since 1 May 2024, but it covers new builds and major renovations; a like-for-like or same-size replacement generally doesn't trigger it. If you're building or doing a major reno, glazing is one of the biggest factors in the rating, and double-glazed windows are part of our range. Ask at the measure and you'll get a straight answer.
We make five aluminium styles: sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre. Louvres with Breezeway blades suit hillsides: angle the blades to catch breeze moving up the slope while limiting the view in. Every style comes in custom sizes with a choice of frame colours and glass types, and double-glazed windows are part of the range.
Arana Hills has seen serious storms before; Queensland Places records widespread damage to local houses in 2008. We do glass repair and replacement as well as full window replacement. Because we fabricate at our own Brendale factory, a non-standard replacement isn't waiting on someone else's production schedule. Under the NCC, new windows in habitable buildings must meet AS 2047, which rates them for wind pressure and water penetration.
Call 07 3353 1588, email sales@superiorglass.com.au, or book through our contact page. Quotes are free and include an on-site measure. The process runs consultation and site assessment, custom design and quote, manufacturing at Brendale, installation by our own crew, then a final inspection and handover.
