Aluminium windows Floreat - for a garden suburb in renovation mode
Floreat was planned, not accumulated - a garden suburb laid out around parks, ovals and Perry Lakes, with generous lots that today make it one of the western suburbs' busiest renovation and rebuild markets. Custom Windows manufactures aluminium windows Floreat owners use across that whole spectrum: sympathetic replacements for original post-war homes, extension glazing that opens living areas to the garden, and full schedules for new two-storey builds in Floreat 6014.
Renovating the originals
The suburb's first-generation homes have proportions worth respecting. We manufacture to the existing openings so replacement frames keep the streetscape rhythm, while the glazing steps up to modern comfort - low-E or double glazing for bedrooms near The Boulevard, and quiet, smooth-rolling sliders where old timber or steel frames have stiffened up.
- Frames matched to original garden-suburb proportions
- Extension glazing opening living areas to big Floreat gardens
- Full rebuild schedules from architect drawings
- Double glazing for comfort and quiet near busy roads
- Kitform CKD kits for builders
Extensions that open to the garden
Floreat's block sizes reward extensions, and extension briefs here almost always centre on glass: wide sliding openings to alfresco areas, awning windows that hold the afternoon sea breeze, and fixed panels pointed at the garden the suburb was named for. Everything is made to measure, so the glazing follows the design rather than the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you make windows that suit Floreat's original garden-suburb homes?
Yes. Floreat's planned post-war streetscapes carry a distinct character, and we manufacture frames to the original opening proportions so renovations sit comfortably beside the suburb's established homes.
Q: What do Floreat rebuilds usually order?
Knock-down rebuilds near Perry Lakes and the ovals typically order large fixed panels, wide sliders to the garden and double glazing on street-facing bedrooms - all manufactured to the architect's schedule.
Q: Are kitform aluminium windows Floreat builders can assemble on site available?
Yes. Our CKD kits arrive pre-cut with hardware and assembly guides, which suits builders on Floreat's larger lots who want window assembly to follow their own program.
Q: Is double glazing worthwhile this far from the coast?
Floreat still gets the sea breeze but less salt than beachfront suburbs; double glazing here is usually chosen for thermal comfort and quiet - particularly near The Boulevard and school precincts - rather than corrosion resistance.
