Aluminium windows Albany - built for the state's coldest, windiest address
Albany's weather comes off the Southern Ocean with nothing in the way. The Great Southern's capital gets WA's coldest winters, persistent rain and wind that tests every seal on an exposed elevation - conditions closer to Tasmania's than to Perth's. Custom Windows manufactures aluminium windows Albany homes should actually be specified with: cold-climate double glazing, tight seals and wind-rated selection for exposed sites, freighted down Albany Highway from our Perth factory to Albany 6330.
Double glazing is the specification, not the upgrade
In Perth, double glazing is a comfort choice; in Albany it is the difference between a warm house and an expensive-to-heat one. Sealed double-glazed units in well-weather-stripped frames hold heating through the long wet winter and stop the condensation that single glass streams on cold mornings. It anchors every Albany quote we write.
- Cold-climate double glazing as the core specification
- Wind-exposed selection for Sound and ocean-facing sites
- Tight weather-sealing against driven rain
- Heritage-sympathetic profiles for the old town
- CKD kitform freight packing for the Great Southern
Wind off the Sound
Elevations facing King George Sound, Middleton Beach or the open coast take real wind loads, and glass thickness and frame selection should be quoted to the site rather than assumed. Awning windows hold position and seal hard in a blow, which is why they dominate Albany schedules; sliders carry the sheltered elevations and the views across the harbour.

Kitform aluminium windows Albany builds are freighted as
Four hundred kilometres of highway argues for smart packing. Our kitform aluminium windows ship as complete knocked-down kits - pre-cut sections, hardware, glazing and assembly guides packed flat - and assemble in Albany by your builder or a capable owner. Great Southern builders run repeat schedules on trade accounts; heritage-town projects should confirm City of Albany requirements before altering older street elevations, and the kitform products page covers configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Albany is WA's cold corner - does that change window advice?
Completely. Albany's winters are the state's coldest and wettest among major towns, so double glazing and well-sealed frames move from nice-to-have to the core of the specification.
Q: How windy is too windy for standard windows in Albany?
Exposed sites facing King George Sound or the Southern Ocean cop serious blows, so tell us your elevation and exposure - glass thickness and frame selection are quoted to the site, not just the size.
Q: How do kitform aluminium windows Albany projects handle the freight distance?
Well - that is the point. CKD kits pack flat for the Albany Highway run, arrive with hardware and assembly guides, and assemble locally, cutting freight cost versus assembled frames.
Q: Do Albany's heritage buildings need special window consideration?
Some do. WA's oldest colonial settlement keeps heritage requirements on parts of its old town - confirm with the City of Albany before altering older street elevations, and we will supply sympathetic profiles and drawings.
