Strathpine windows, made just up the road in Brendale
We build windows at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and Leitchs Road runs straight through into Strathpine. The two suburbs share postcode 4500, so a measure at your place is about a 5 minute drive for one of our team. Our only address is that 1,700 sqm factory and showroom, which means the people who quote your windows work 2 km from where they'll be fitted.

Why Strathpine chooses custom aluminium glass windows
Windows fail in a predictable order: fogged glass units, corroded frames, glass that predates the safety rules, then whole streets of builder-grade windows aging at once. Strathpine shows every stage because its houses span several building eras. At the 2021 Census the suburb held 10,647 people in 4,238 private dwellings, and 82.3% of occupied homes were separate houses, 3,209 of them averaging 3.2 bedrooms. That’s a lot of windows per street, installed across a lot of different decades.
The first failure is fog. A double-glazed unit is two panes sealed around a spacer, and that sealed gap is what slows heat and blocks noise. When the seal dies, moisture creeps in and the fog sits between the panes where no cloth can reach it. The frame around it is often still sound, which completely changes what the fix should be.
The second is corrosion. Original aluminium and steel frames on Strathpine’s older streets have taken decades of weather. Once the metal pits and the tracks seize, new glass won’t save the frame.
The third is compliance. AS 1288 sets out where Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass is required, including window glazing with sills lower than 500 mm above the floor. Plenty of older low-sill windows went in long before those rules, and owners usually find out when a pane breaks.
The fourth is the newest: builder-grade windows from the later estates are now reaching the end of their working life, showing the same drafts and tired seals street by street.
This is where the 2 km matters. One of our measurers inspects the actual failure at your place and tells you which fix it really is: a resealed unit, new glass, new hardware or a full frame replacement. Whatever the answer, we fabricate it to the existing opening’s exact size at the Brendale factory, non-standard dimensions included. Our own installers fit it, carrying Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry. Diagnosis, fabrication, installation and any callback all run from the same shed up the road.
Aluminium glass windows we make for Strathpine
We make all five aluminium styles for Strathpine jobs, sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre, plus double-glazed units, at the Brendale factory, and fit them with our own crews.
Common window problems we solve in Strathpine
Failed or foggy double-glazed units
A double-glazed unit is two panes sealed around a spacer, and that sealed gap does the insulating. When the seal dies, moisture creeps in and fog forms where no cloth can reach it. A failed unit stops insulating and stops blocking noise, so you're paying double-glazing money for single-glass performance. We check the unit and the frame separately during the free measure. If the frame is sound, we make a new sealed unit at the Brendale factory and swap it in.
Corroded original aluminium or steel frames
First-generation aluminium and steel frames on Strathpine's older streets have taken decades of weather. The metal pits and the tracks seize. Once corrosion takes hold, new glass won't fix a frame that jams or leaks. We fabricate a new aluminium frame to the existing opening, non-standard dimensions included. Our installers hold Cert III in Carpentry as well as glazing, so making good around an old opening is part of the job.
Safety glass at low sills under AS 1288
AS 1288 requires Grade A toughened or laminated safety glass in human-impact areas, including window glazing with sills lower than 500 mm above the floor. Plenty of older Strathpine windows were glazed before those rules existed. Ordinary glass at a low sill breaks into large, dangerous shards, which is what the standard is written to prevent. During the measure we flag low-sill glazing and quote Grade A safety glass where the standard calls for it. The glass comes through our own factory, so the spec is controlled from cutting to install.
The first replacement wave of builder-grade windows
Strathpine is 82.3% separate houses, 3,209 of them built across different eras, and the estates that went up with cost-driven windows are reaching the age where seals and latches give out together. Replacing one tired window at a time gets expensive when the whole set is the same age. We quote the honest scope, one window or the lot, on Vantage aluminium systems. Our workmanship guarantee stands behind the installation.
Recent window work from our Brendale workshop
Custom window work
Architectural glass windows in Strathpine
That search usually comes from a design-led project: a renovation drawing, or an opening a standard catalogue won't cover. There's no separate product to ask for here. The work behind that search comes from our standard five types pushed to custom shapes: made full height, paired into corner configurations, stacked into banks of louvres, or sized to openings nothing off the shelf will fit. Every window is built to your opening's actual width and height, including non-standard sizing for older homes and new builds. You pick the frame colour and finish, then the glass type for insulation or safety, on Vantage aluminium systems with Breezeway blades for louvres. Bring the drawings to the Brendale showroom, 2 km from Strathpine, and we'll tell you straight what's buildable.
Why Strathpine trusts Superior Glass
Superior Glass has made and fitted glass since 1972, family owned and operated the whole way, with director Nathan Fox still hands-on in daily operations. We manufacture at a 1,700 sqm factory and showroom at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and our own crews do the installing. Those installers hold Cert III in Glass and Glazing and Cert III in Carpentry, which counts on older Strathpine homes where the timber around the frame needs work too. We're QBCC licensed and insured. In Queensland, paid glazing work legally requires a QBCC Glass, Glazing and Aluminium licence, so ask any company quoting you about theirs. On windows we supply Vantage aluminium systems and Breezeway louvre blades, built to custom sizes including non-standard openings. Every installation carries our workmanship guarantee, and the on-site measure and quote are free.

Aluminium Glass Windows in Strathpine: your questions answered
About 2 km. The factory and showroom sit at 241 Leitchs Road, Brendale, and Leitchs Road runs on into Strathpine, so the drive is roughly 5 minutes. The two suburbs even share postcode 4500. We don't keep a Strathpine shopfront. Measures and installs run from the Brendale base as part of our regular local runs.
Often no. Fog between the panes means the sealed unit has failed, and it can't be wiped away because the moisture sits inside the unit. If the frame is still square and sound, we make a new sealed unit to the same size at the Brendale factory and swap it in. The free on-site measure tells you which fix your window needs.
Usually not for a like-for-like swap. Queensland adopted the NCC 2022 7-star energy provisions from 1 May 2024, and they apply to new builds and major renovations. Replacing a failed window with one of the same size generally doesn't trigger them. Glazing is still one of the biggest factors in a home's energy rating, so plenty of owners upgrade to double glazing while the frame is being replaced anyway.
Yes. Every window is built to the opening's actual width and height, and non-standard sizing for older homes is normal work for us. Our installers hold Cert III in Carpentry alongside Cert III in Glass and Glazing, so they can square up and make good the timber around an old opening before the new frame goes in.
Five: sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and louvre. Double-glazed versions are available for insulation and noise control. We supply Vantage aluminium systems, with Breezeway blades on the louvres. You choose the frame colour and the glass type to suit the job. All of it is made to order in Brendale, minutes from Strathpine.
Call 07 3353 1588 or email sales@superiorglass.com.au. One of our team drives over from Brendale, usually about 5 minutes away, inspects what has failed and quotes the right fix. The job then follows our five-step process: consultation and site assessment, design and quote, manufacturing, installation, then final inspection and handover. The measure and the quote cost nothing.
