Bray Park windows, made just up the road in Brendale
Nearly every dwelling in Bray Park is a separate house, 96.8% at the 2021 Census, and around 70% are owner-occupied. Most of that stock is brick and dates from around the 1980s, so a good share of the homes here will still be working through their original aluminium windows, and the people deciding what to do about them mostly own the place. Our factory and showroom is at Brendale, about five kilometres away, so window jobs in Bray Park slot into our regular local rounds.

Why Bray Park chooses custom aluminium glass windows
Same builders, same decades, same windows: that’s Bray Park. The suburb took its name in 1970 and its schools opened between 1973 and 1987, which brackets when most of the housing went in. Most of the stock is brick from around the 1980s, on blocks of roughly 600 square metres, with newer pockets west of the Les Hughes Sporting Complex. Because so much of the suburb was built in the same stretch, the original aluminium sliders and louvre banks are wearing out on the same schedule, one street at a time.
Old aluminium windows tend to go the same way wherever they have been in service that long. Rollers wear flat under the weight of the sash. Latches stop catching once a frame has moved. Louvre clips turn brittle and blades rattle in wind. Perished seals let water track in during a storm. The house is usually fine; the windows have simply done about 40 years of work. Glass repair and replacement is part of our standard range alongside new windows, so the answer can be a repair or a full replacement depending on what the frame has left in it.
About 70% of Bray Park homes are owner-occupied, and 27.3% are owned outright. Owners who plan to stay usually want a straight swap: the same style of window in the existing brick opening, sized to match, done properly. That’s the job we’re set up for. We manufacture every window to measure at our Brendale factory, including the non-standard sizes 1970s and 80s builders left behind. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, which matters when a 40-year-old brick opening is out of square or the timber reveal needs work before the new frame goes in.
One more thing worth knowing before you get quotes. Queensland has applied the 7-star energy rules to new builds and major renovations since 1 May 2024, and glazing is a big part of them. A like-for-like, same-size replacement window generally doesn’t trigger those rules, so in most cases a straight swap stays the job you asked for rather than turning into a compliance project; where the work forms part of a major renovation, the rules can apply. If you’d like to lift comfort anyway, double-glazed windows are part of our range and are made to measure the same way. Either way it starts with a free measure at your place.

Common window problems we solve in Bray Park
Storm damage window replacement
South East Queensland is storm country, and Bray Park sits within the City of Moreton Bay's flood-hazard mapping with Four Mile Creek running through the suburb. In a bad cell, wind-blown debris breaks glass, and tired original seals let water past well before anything shatters. A broken pane or a leaking frame turns one storm into ongoing water damage and an unsecured house. Glass repair and replacement sits inside our core range, and because we manufacture at Brendale we can make a window to suit your existing opening instead of waiting on a stock size. We won't quote response times we can't back; call 07 3353 1588 and we'll tell you where your job sits.
7-star energy rules on new window work
Queensland adopted the NCC 2022 energy provisions on 1 May 2024, which set a 7-star minimum for new builds and major renovations, and glazing is one of the most influential factors in that rating. Some owners sit on failing windows because they're worried a replacement will drag them into a compliance project. A like-for-like, same-size replacement generally doesn't trigger the 7-star rules, so swapping worn 1980s sliders usually stays a simple job. If your windows are part of a major renovation the rules may apply, and double glazing is one way to help meet them.
Condensation and mould around single-glazed windows
Single glazing keeps the inner pane close to the outdoor temperature, so on cool mornings moisture inside the house condenses on the glass. Water running off the panes feeds mould on sills and curtains and slowly gets into paint and timber. A double-glazed unit uses two panes with a sealed gap that keeps the inner pane closer to room temperature, which cuts interior condensation and reduces outside noise as well. Double-glazed windows are part of the range we supply, and like everything else we make, they're built to your existing opening sizes.
Louvre, awning or casement: picking windows for cross-ventilation
Glazing-rating guidance for subtropical Brisbane suggests heat reduction and ventilation usually count for more than cold-climate insulation alone, so the style of window matters, not only the glass in it. Bray Park is almost all separate houses built through the 1970s and 80s, and where the original windows are still in place, the style on each wall is whatever the builder specified at the time rather than what suits the breeze. Styles matched to the right walls pull a breeze through the house and cut how hard the air con works. We fit five aluminium styles, with Breezeway blades in our louvres and Vantage systems across the range. At the free measure we'll walk the house with you and suggest which style belongs on which wall.

Custom window work
Architectural glass windows in Bray Park
Some Bray Park searches use that phrase, and it usually means a design-led project instead of a straight swap. Think a full-height window for a rear extension, a bank of louvres across the living room wall, or an odd-sized frame no stock supplier carries. We build that kind of work from the same five aluminium styles we fit every week, made to custom widths and heights at Brendale. Frame colours and glass types are chosen per job, so a new window can sit beside 1980s brickwork without looking bolted on. Because everything is manufactured in-house, a non-standard width or height is ordinary work for us rather than a special order. If you've sketched something on paper, bring it to the measure and we'll tell you straight what will work in your opening and what won't.
Why Bray Park trusts Superior Glass
Superior Glass Brisbane has been family owned and operated since 1972. We're a manufacturer. The windows going into Bray Park homes are made at our 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, then installed by our own crews. Those installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, which earns its keep in brick openings that have moved over about 40 years. We're QBCC licensed and insured; in Queensland the QBCC requires a glass, glazing and aluminium licence for paid glazing work. We fit Vantage aluminium window systems with Breezeway louvre blades and back window installations with a workmanship guarantee. Our service fleet covers the Pine Rivers and Moreton Bay corridor, so Bray Park jobs run as part of regular local rounds from Brendale. The measure and quote is free.

Aluminium Glass Windows in Bray Park: your questions answered
Yes. We manufacture to custom widths and heights, so a window from a 1970s or 80s brick home doesn't need to match a stock size. We measure the existing opening at your place, make the new frame at our Brendale factory, and fit it into the same opening. Our installers hold carpentry as well as glazing qualifications, which helps when an older opening has gone out of square.
Generally not. The 7-star requirement under NCC 2022 has applied in Queensland since 1 May 2024, but it covers new builds and major renovations. A like-for-like replacement, same size in the same opening, usually sits outside it. If your window work is part of a bigger renovation the rules may apply, and glazing is one of the biggest factors in the rating. We'll tell you which side of the line your job falls on at the measure.
Start with the walls that catch the breeze, because ventilation counts for a lot in a subtropical climate. For raw airflow, louvre windows are the usual answer, and ours use Breezeway blades. Awning and casement windows are in the range too, and which one belongs on a given wall depends on how that wall sits to the breeze and the weather. At your free measure we'll look at which walls face the breeze and suggest a mix.
It depends what's bothering you. A double-glazed unit holds two panes with a sealed gap, which slows heat transfer and keeps the inner pane closer to room temperature, so less moisture condenses on the glass on cool mornings. It also cuts outside noise compared with single glazing. In Brisbane, solar heat gain matters as much as insulation, so we'll talk through glass choice before you spend the money. We make double-glazed windows to the same sizes as your existing openings.
No. The quote includes an on-site measure and both are free. Measuring at the house matters in Bray Park because most of the stock is older brick with openings that have settled, and a quote off rough numbers turns into surprises later. Call 07 3353 1588 or email sales@superiorglass.com.au and we'll book a time.
Yes. Our factory and showroom is at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, about five kilometres from Bray Park. You can look over the five aluminium styles and the double-glazed units, and talk through frame colours and glass options while you're there. We don't have an office in Bray Park itself; everything is made and run from Brendale.
