Aluminium Glass Windows Aspley
Superior Glass has been making and installing windows since 1972. Our factory and showroom sit at Brendale, roughly 8 to 9 km from Aspley via South Pine Road and Gympie Road. Aspley jobs run as part of regular northside rounds, with a service fleet based at the factory. The people who measure your openings and the factory that makes your frames are a short drive apart, so details don’t get lost in between.
Why Aspley chooses custom aluminium glass windows
When the first window fails in a 1960s Aspley house, the rest are usually close behind. Aspley was cut from farmland through the 1950s and 60s. The first residential subdivision went to market in 1952, at Gympie and Robinson Roads, and the streets filled with low-set brick homes through the 1960s and 70s. Those houses still define the suburb: separate houses make up 72.1% of Aspley’s 5,463 private dwellings. The suburb has aged with them. At the 2021 Census the median age here was 43, five years above the Queensland figure of 38.
The windows that went in when those houses were new are now 55 to 70 years old. They went in within a few years of each other, and they’ve faced the same weather ever since. So they wear out as a group. A sliding sash that jams in the kitchen this year. A frame that rattles in the front bedroom next winter. Once the first one goes, it’s worth pricing the whole house in one measured quote instead of fixing window by window, while the early failures are still cosmetic. The measure and the quote cost nothing.
There’s a catch with these houses, though. Openings from that era rarely match a current standard window size, so a stock frame either won’t fit or forces a rebuild of the opening around it. We make each window to the measured opening instead, at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory, 8 to 9 km away. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry. That second trade matters here. Timber reveals from the 1960s, and frames that have drifted out of square, need a carpenter’s correction before the new window goes in.
One more decision belongs at replacement time. If your place sits near Gympie Road, double-glazed insulated units can go straight into the new frames. Two panes with a sealed gap slow heat transfer and cut outside noise compared with single glazing. Replacement is the easiest moment to make that call, because the old frames are already coming out.
Architectural glass windows in Aspley
Renovating one of Aspley’s 1960s brick homes, or knocking one down to rebuild, raises design questions that a straight window swap never asks. People searching for architectural glass windows in Aspley usually have a design-led build or renovation in mind: full-height glass under a raked ceiling, windows that turn a corner, a bank of louvres for airflow, or an opening no stock size will ever fit. We build that work from the same systems we use every day, Vantage aluminium frames and Breezeway louvre blades. Each unit is made to your measured width and height at the Brendale factory, so unusual shapes and non-standard openings run through the same process as everything else. You choose from a range of frame colours and finishes, plus glass types picked for safety and insulation. Bring the plans, or just the idea, and we’ll tell you what the systems can and can’t do.
Family owned, and operating since 1972. We manufacture what we install: every window comes out of our 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and our own crews fit it. Installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing plus Cert III in Carpentry, which matters on Aspley’s older timber-framed openings. In Queensland, paid glazing work legally requires a QBCC Glass, Glazing and Aluminium licence. We’re QBCC licensed and insured. We build on Vantage aluminium window systems, with Breezeway blades for louvres. Window installations carry a workmanship guarantee. Each job follows the same five-step process: consultation and site assessment, design and quote, manufacturing, installation, then final inspection and handover. Reviewers often mention older windows replaced promptly and the site left tidy afterwards. Quotes are free and include an on-site measure. Call 07 3353 1588 or email sales@superiorglass.com.au.
