Aluminium windows City Beach - honouring mid-century glass, surviving the coast
City Beach is one of Perth's great mid-century suburbs. Its post-war and 1960s-70s homes - many by notable architects - were designed around exactly what aluminium does best: slim frames, long horizontal glass lines and living rooms that open to the garden and the ocean light. Custom Windows manufactures aluminium windows City Beach owners can use to renovate those homes sympathetically, and full schedules for the two-storey rebuilds steadily joining them in City Beach 6015.
Slim sightlines for modernist renovations
Replacing a modernist home's original frames with chunky sections ruins the architecture. We manufacture slimline framing to the existing openings so the horizontal emphasis and glass-to-frame ratio survive the upgrade - while the glass inside the frame quietly jumps forward fifty years, with low-E or double-glazed units where comfort matters.
- Slimline frames matched to mid-century proportions
- Modern glazing inside period-appropriate sightlines
- Marine-grade finishes for ocean-facing elevations
- Oversized fixed and sliding glass for rebuild schedules
- Kitform CKD supply for builders
West elevations: glare, salt and the sea breeze
Between the beach and the Bold Park ridge, west-facing City Beach glass takes afternoon glare and salt air together. We quote glare-control and double-glazed options with marine-grade powder-coat frames for those elevations, and awning windows that hold the Fremantle Doctor without slamming for the rooms that rely on it.

Kitform aluminium windows City Beach rebuild programs can stage

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you match slim frames to a mid-century City Beach home?
Yes. City Beach's modernist-era homes were designed around slim sightlines and big glass, and we manufacture slimline aluminium framing to preserve that character in renovations and sympathetic replacements.
Q: What should west-facing City Beach glazing account for?
Direct ocean-facing exposure means salt air, afternoon glare and westerly wind. We quote marine-grade finishes with glare-control or double glazing for west elevations near the beach and Bold Park ridge.
Q: Do you supply aluminium kitform windows City Beach builders can use on rebuilds?
Yes. CKD kitform kits with pre-cut sections and assembly guides are available, including slimline and coastal-upgrade configurations - details are quoted per project.
Q: Are your windows suitable for two-storey rebuilds replacing original City Beach homes?
Yes. We supply full schedules for knock-down rebuilds, including oversized fixed panels and sliding combinations manufactured to the architect's opening sizes.
