Murrumba Downs windows, made just up the road in Brendale
Murrumba Downs is roughly 11 km from our Brendale factory, about a 15-minute run up through Strathpine, Lawnton and Petrie. We don't have an office there and won't pretend to. Every window is made at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, then fitted at your place by our own installers, with suburb jobs running as part of our regular Pine Rivers rounds.

Why Murrumba Downs chooses custom aluminium glass windows
The North Pine River gives Murrumba Downs its southern boundary, Fresh Water Creek runs along the north, and the Bruce Highway closes off the east. Inside those lines is a family suburb gazetted only in 1979, subdivided through the 1980s, then filled out fast: 7,094 residents by 2006 on the way to today’s numbers. Now 73.5% of dwellings are separate houses averaging 3.5 bedrooms, and 45% of families are couples with children, with 41.5% of homes owned with a mortgage.
Read that timeline as a glazier and you see four window jobs running at once.
The earliest houses are pushing 40 years old. Their original aluminium frames, and the odd steel one, have spent four decades between a river and a creek, and many are pitted or seized. The 1990s and 2000s stock, which the growth figures suggest is the bulk of the suburb, is hitting its first replacement wave: builder-grade windows fitted during the boom are wearing out around the same time. Family houses add a safety layer. AS 1288 requires Grade A safety glass in human-impact areas, including window glazing with sills lower than 500 mm above the floor, and that catches plenty of kids’ bedrooms and living rooms. Which windows it actually applies to gets confirmed on site, not guessed from a floor plan. And 1980s openings rarely match modern stock sizes, so a proper replacement usually means custom fabrication.
That’s the work we’re set up for. We manufacture sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre windows in Vantage systems, Breezeway blades on the louvres, all made to measure at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory. Double glazing is an option across the range. Our installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, which matters when a corroded frame comes out and the timber behind it needs attention. Every job runs the same five steps: site assessment, design and quote, manufacturing, installation, final inspection and handover.
The townhouses that followed the rail line, the station opened in October 2016, sit alongside all that older stock. Different buildings, same approach from us: measure the opening in front of us and make the window to suit. The measure and quote are free.

Common window problems we solve in Murrumba Downs
Corroded original aluminium or steel window frames
The oldest Murrumba Downs houses date from the suburb's first subdivisions in the 1980s, so their original frames have been in the weather for around four decades. Sitting between the North Pine River and Fresh Water Creek, that's a long time for moisture to work into tracks and fixings. A corroded frame jams and lets water past, and eventually it stops opening at all. We take the old frame out, check what's behind it and fit a new made-to-measure aluminium window from our Brendale factory. Our installers hold carpentry as well as glazing trade certificates, so timber found soft behind an old frame gets dealt with properly.
Safety glass at low sills (AS 1288)
Family homes here often have low-sill or full-height glass in living areas and kids' bedrooms, and 45% of Murrumba Downs families are couples with children. AS 1288 requires Grade A safety glass where window sills sit lower than 500 mm above the floor, and glass fitted decades ago may not meet it. Low sills are exactly where children and glass meet, which is why the standard treats them as human-impact areas. We check sill heights during the free on-site measure and tell you where the standard applies before we quote. Where it applies, we glaze with Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass, made up at Brendale.
The first replacement wave of builder-grade windows
Population figures point to one long build run through the 1990s and 2000s, with 7,094 residents by 2006. Windows fitted to a builder's budget in that era are now reaching the end of their working life together. Once rollers and seals start failing across the whole house, fixing one window at a time costs more than replacing properly. We quote one room or the whole house, your call, and the measure costs nothing. Because we manufacture at Brendale rather than resell, you pick the frame colours and glass types this time, against your budget instead of a builder's.
Custom sizing for non-standard older openings
The suburb's earliest houses date from the 1980s, and openings from that era rarely line up with modern stock sizes. Forcing a stock window into the wrong opening leaves gaps that packers and sealant have to hide. We manufacture to the measured opening, exact width and height, at our 1,700 sqm Brendale factory, including sizes no stock range carries. Same process as every job: assess on site, design and quote, make, install, inspect and hand over.

Architectural glass windows in Murrumba Downs
Some Murrumba Downs projects want more than a like-for-like swap. Renovation and new-build plans here often call for full-height glass, corner windows, whole banks of louvres, and sizes no stock range carries. If you've been searching for architectural glass windows in Murrumba Downs, that's the work we're talking about. For us it means the same five window styles we always make, sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre, pushed to custom widths and heights at our Brendale factory. Breezeway blades stack into full-wall louvre galleries for river breezes. Double glazing comes into it where insulation or noise is part of the design. And wherever glass runs low or large, AS 1288 decides the safety glazing, which we confirm on site rather than guess from drawings. Send us the plans and we'll price what's buildable.

Aluminium Glass Windows in Murrumba Downs: your questions answered
Yes, that's exactly what in-house manufacturing is for. Houses from Murrumba Downs' first subdivisions in the 1980s were often glazed in sizes nobody stocks today. We measure the opening during a free on-site visit, make the window to that width and height at our Brendale factory, then install it with our own crew. No forcing a stock frame into an opening it was never made for.
Possibly. AS 1288 calls for Grade A safety glass, toughened or laminated, in human-impact areas, and that includes window glazing with sills lower than 500 mm above the floor. Whether it applies to your windows depends on actual heights and positions, which is a professional assessment, so we check sills during the free measure and tell you where the standard applies before you commit to anything.
Our factory and showroom is at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, roughly 11 km from Murrumba Downs, about a 15-minute run through Strathpine, Lawnton and Petrie. Everything is made and dispatched from that one site. Our service fleet covers North Brisbane and the Pine Rivers corridor on regular runs, so getting a measurer or an install crew out to you isn't a special trip.
Depends what's bothering you. A double-glazed unit holds two panes over a sealed gap; the gap slows heat coming through, and the inner pane stays closer to room temperature, so you get less condensation and less outside noise than single glazing. For Brisbane's climate, industry guidance puts the priority on keeping solar heat out rather than cold-climate insulation. Houses near the Bruce Highway boundary usually care most about the noise side. We'll walk you through both at quote time.
Usually not for a same-size, like-for-like replacement. The 7-star NatHERS requirement under NCC 2022 has applied in Queensland since 1 May 2024, and it's aimed at new builds and major renovations. Swapping tired windows for new ones the same size generally sits outside that scope. If you're mid-renovation, glazing is one of the most influential factors in reaching 7 stars, and double glazing helps. We'll flag it at the quote if it's relevant.
