Aluminium Glass Windows Griffin
Griffin is about 15 km from our factory at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and our installers pass through on regular North Brisbane runs. We manufacture every window we fit, so a Griffin order goes from our factory floor to your opening without a middle supplier. And with local property reporting showing the suburb’s land supply effectively sold out, window work here now means improving homes that already stand.
Why Griffin chooses custom aluminium glass windows
Griffin’s houses stand closer together than almost anywhere else we work on Brisbane’s northside. At the 2021 Census, 26.7% of the suburb’s occupied dwellings were semi-detached or townhouses, next to 72.2% separate houses on compact modern estate lots and almost no flats. The population went from 2,358 in 2011 to 12,295 in 2021, so nearly all of that housing is recent estate stock. Put the two together and the picture is a bedroom window that looks straight into the neighbour’s, at the same height, facing the same way.
That proximity changes what a window has to do. On acreage, clear glass everywhere works fine. Here, obscure glass, sill height, louvre blade angle and which way each opening faces decide whether the blinds ever get to stay open.
The suburb’s edges add a second pressure. Griffin sits between the Bruce Highway and Hays Inlet, with Freshwater Creek to the north, the North Pine River to the south and wetland running up the river mouth. Storm fronts crossing that low, open country arrive with little in their way, and our glass repair and replacement service gets the call when they hit. Under the NCC, new windows in habitable buildings must meet AS 2047, the Australian standard that rates windows for wind pressure and water penetration.
There’s also nowhere left to build. A June 2026 local property market report found land transactions fell from 612 in the year to March 2021 to just 7 in the year to March 2026, so Griffin’s window work now happens in homes that already stand. Major renovations can trigger Queensland’s 7-star energy rules, in force since 1 May 2024, and a larger extension can amount to a major renovation; glazing is among the biggest factors in the rating. A like-for-like replacement usually doesn’t trigger those rules, and we’ll tell you plainly which side of that line your job sits on before we quote.
We’ve made and fitted windows since 1972. Every Griffin order is fabricated at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory and installed by our own Cert III qualified crews, glazing and carpentry both.
Architectural glass windows in Griffin
Searchers looking for architectural glass windows in Griffin usually mean full-height glazing, corner windows, banked louvres or a size no stock catalogue carries. There’s no separate product line behind that phrase. The same five aluminium styles we make every day get cut to the exact opening, in custom widths and heights. Because fabrication happens at our own Brendale factory, a design-led job is mostly a measurement problem, and measurement is the part we control. Our installers hold Cert III qualifications in glass and glazing and in carpentry, which matters when a full-height frame needs the opening reframed. Glass selection follows AS 1288, the standard that sets where toughened or laminated safety glass must go, including glazing near floor level. Bring us the drawings and we’ll tell you what the Vantage system can do with them.
Superior Glass Brisbane has made and installed windows since 1972 and is family owned. Every Griffin window is fabricated at our 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, then installed by our own crews rather than subcontractors. Our installers hold Cert III qualifications in glass and glazing and in carpentry, so the same crew can reframe an opening and glaze it. We supply Vantage aluminium window systems with Breezeway louvre blades, in five styles: sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre, plus double-glazed options. Queensland law requires a QBCC glass, glazing and aluminium licence for this work, and we’re QBCC licensed and insured. AS 1288 governs glass selection and installation, setting where toughened or laminated safety glass must go, and under the NCC new external windows must meet AS 2047, the standard covering wind pressure and water penetration ratings. Quotes are free and include an on-site measure, and window installations carry our workmanship guarantee.
