Cashmere windows, made just up the road in Brendale
Our factory and showroom sit at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, about a 12 minute, 9 km drive from Cashmere. Cashmere jobs slot into the regular runs our service fleet does through the Pine Rivers corridor. And because every window is fabricated on that same site, an odd-sized opening in an older acreage home gets a window built to fit it, measured on site for free.

Why Cashmere chooses custom aluminium glass windows
Windows on acreage do a different job to windows on a tight suburban block. Cashmere is almost entirely separate houses, 99.2% of occupied dwellings, and they average 4.2 bedrooms each. A home that size carries glazing in every direction: bedroom windows facing the trees, banks of glass along the living areas, low sills in stairwells, louvres pulling breeze through the middle of the house. When windows start failing here, they rarely fail one at a time.
The suburb itself is rural-residential acreage country in the old Pine Rivers Shire, about 25 km north-west of central Brisbane, with blocks concentrated near the Warner boundary and the One Mile Creek linear park. Past the houses, the land runs up into forest toward Clear Mountain and the D’Aguilar Range foothills, with Lake Samsonvale on the northern edge. It is settled, long-hold country: 93.5% of Cashmere homes are owned outright or with a mortgage, and the median household income is $2,950 a week. Owners here tend to fix windows properly, because they’re staying.
The failures follow a pattern. Original aluminium and steel frames corrode after decades in the weather. Builder-grade units fitted when the house went up wear out as a batch. Where a sill sits lower than 500 mm above the floor, the replacement glass has to go back in as Grade A safety glass under AS 1288. And older openings often match no stock size at all. Along Clear Mountain Road, recent listings show acreage homes on blocks of roughly 1.5 hectares with more than 500 sqm of living space. You can’t re-window a home like that from a catalogue.
That’s the work our setup suits. We fabricate rather than resell, so each window is made to measure across five aluminium styles plus double-glazed options, in Vantage systems with Breezeway louvre blades. Our crews hold Cert III in both glazing and carpentry. Windows are built to AS 2047 and glazed to AS 1288, and the on-site measure and quote cost nothing.
Aluminium glass windows we make for Cashmere
Every window below is made to order, not pulled from stock. These are the five aluminium styles we build for Cashmere homes, plus double-glazed options where insulation or noise is the priority.
Common window problems we solve in Cashmere
Corroded original aluminium or steel window frames
The first generation of metal frames on older acreage homes has sat in the weather for decades. Time pits and oxidises early aluminium frames and rusts steel ones, and the rollers and seals usually go even sooner. A corroded frame can't hold new glass properly, so reglazing alone won't fix it. We replace the whole unit, frame included, fabricated to your existing opening at our Brendale factory. One customer review describes 55-year-old windows being replaced promptly, with a tidy cleanup after.
Safety glass at low sills under AS 1288
Older homes on large blocks often carry full-height or low-sill glazing in stairwells, living areas and bedrooms. AS 1288 requires Grade A safety glass, toughened or laminated, where a window sill sits lower than 500 mm above the floor. Glass that low sits in the human-impact zone, which is exactly why the standard singles it out. We check every sill height during the free on-site measure and quote toughened or laminated glass wherever the standard requires it.
The first replacement wave of builder-grade windows
Builder-grade windows are usually the cheapest units that met spec on the day the house was built. They wear out as a batch, so once one sticks or leaks, the rest are close behind. Swapping them one at a time means repeat visits and a slow drift into mismatched frames across the house. Because we manufacture in-house at Brendale, one measure can price a whole-home run, staged room by room if that suits you. Every new unit is built to AS 2047, the standard for windows and external glazed doors.
Custom sizing for non-standard older openings
Older acreage homes were often built or extended to suit the owner at the time, so window openings frequently match no stock size sold today. Forcing a stock window into the wrong opening leaves packers and sealant doing work the frame should do. We measure the actual opening and fabricate to that width and height. Our installers hold Cert III in both glazing and carpentry, which matters when the surrounding timber needs attention too.

Architectural glass windows in Cashmere
Some Cashmere projects start with a designer's drawings rather than a worn-out frame. People searching for architectural glass windows in Cashmere usually mean this kind of work: full-height glass beside an entry, or a bank of louvres pulling breeze up a stairwell. We build it from the same five window types, sized to the exact width and height the opening needs instead of the nearest stock dimension. Louvre banks run Breezeway blades in Vantage aluminium frames, and double-glazed units suit big panes that would otherwise let in too much heat or noise. You choose from multiple frame colours and finishes, plus glass types picked for the job. Bring us the plans, or have us measure on site. The quote is free either way.
Why Cashmere trusts Superior Glass
Superior Glass has made and fitted glass since 1972, family owned and operated, with director Nathan Fox still hands-on in the business. The windows we quote for Cashmere are fabricated at our own 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale. We build in Vantage aluminium systems with Breezeway louvre blades, across five window styles plus double-glazed options. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, a useful pairing on older homes where the frame is only half the job. We're QBCC licensed and insured, and window installations carry our workmanship guarantee. A service fleet covers North Brisbane and the Pine Rivers corridor, so Cashmere sits inside our regular runs. Quotes are free and include an on-site measure: call 07 3353 1588 or email sales@superiorglass.com.au.

Aluminium Glass Windows in Cashmere: your questions answered
We're about a 12 minute drive from Cashmere: roughly 9 km via South Pine Road and Eatons Crossing Road to the Brendale factory and showroom. We cover Cashmere as part of the regular runs our fleet does through North Brisbane and the Pine Rivers corridor. You're welcome to visit the showroom first and handle the window styles before booking a measure.
Yes. Every window is fabricated to the measured width and height of your opening, including odd sizes in older acreage homes that stock windows won't fit. The measure happens on site as part of the free quote, so the unit is built to the real opening rather than a plan dimension.
Under AS 1288, window glazing with a sill lower than 500 mm above the floor needs Grade A safety glass, either toughened or laminated. Low-sill and full-height glass is common in older homes on big blocks, and it isn't always obvious from the floor which openings sit under that height. We check every sill height during the free on-site measure and tell you which openings the standard covers before any work starts.
We build five: sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre. Louvres with Breezeway blades pull breeze through deep floor plans, awnings can stay open in the rain, sliders suit wide living areas, and double-hung fits traditional rooms. Cashmere homes average 4.2 bedrooms, so there are plenty of openings doing different jobs, and you're free to mix styles opening by opening rather than settle on one throughout. Walk us through your plans at the free measure and we'll match styles to openings.
Often, yes. A double-glazed unit uses two panes with a sealed gap that slows heat transfer and cuts outside noise compared with single glazing. For Brisbane's climate, industry guidance treats solar heat gain as the rating to watch alongside insulation. On a new build or major renovation, glazing is also one of the biggest factors in meeting Queensland's 7-star energy rules, in force since 1 May 2024. A like-for-like replacement generally doesn't trigger those rules.
It starts with a free on-site consultation and measure. From there the job runs through custom design and quote, manufacturing at our Brendale factory, installation by our own crews, then a final inspection and handover. Nothing gets fabricated until the openings are measured, which matters in Cashmere, where older acreage homes rarely match stock sizes. Call 07 3353 1588 or email sales@superiorglass.com.au to book.
