Aluminium windows Sorrento - built for elevated coastal exposure
Sorrento's appeal is its elevation: homes step up from West Coast Drive with sweeping ocean outlooks that most of Perth cannot match. That same elevation is what we design around when manufacturing aluminium windows Sorrento owners order - exposed, elevated sites near the coast see stronger wind loads and heavier salt attack than sheltered suburbs, and windows have to be specified for it, not just sized for it.
The suburb is also deep into its rebuild cycle. Original 1970s homes on prime view lots in Sorrento 6020 are steadily giving way to two- and three-storey replacements designed outward, and window schedules for those projects are dominated by big glass.
Framing the view without fighting the weather
For rebuilds we manufacture large fixed panels and wide sliding window combinations to the opening, planning mullions so they miss the sightline to Hillarys marina or the sunset. On exposed west elevations, heavier glass or reinforced sections may be appropriate, and double glazing quietens the westerly buffeting that elevated homes hear all winter.

Send elevations or opening sizes and we will quote view-framing glass specified for your exposure.
Aluminium kitform windows Sorrento builders can stage
Builders running Sorrento rebuilds can also take our kitform aluminium windows - complete knocked-down kits, pre-cut and supplied with assembly guides, with coastal upgrades specified per kit. On tight coastal lots with limited storage, assembling at lock-up beats warehousing finished frames. Configurations are on the kitform page.
Keeping coastal hardware alive
However good the specification, front-row Sorrento windows repay maintenance: rinse frames and tracks with fresh water regularly and have rollers and locks serviced before they seize - our servicing team covers the coastal strip often.

We also manufacture for Aluminium Windows Karrinyup, Aluminium Windows Scarborough and Aluminium Windows Joondalup; the full list is on our service areas page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you manufacture oversized windows for a Sorrento rebuild with ocean views?
Yes. Elevated Sorrento lots are typically designed around the view, and we manufacture large fixed panels and wide sliding combinations to the opening so glass, not frame, dominates the west elevation.
Q: Is wind loading a consideration for elevated Sorrento homes?
Exposed, elevated coastal sites can require heavier glass or reinforced framing than a sheltered suburban lot, so tell us about your elevation and exposure when you enquire and we will specify accordingly.
Q: Do you supply kitform aluminium windows Sorrento builders can use on rebuild projects?
Yes. CKD kitform kits with pre-cut sections and assembly guides are available for Sorrento builds, including with marine-grade finish and hardware upgrades suited to front-row coastal exposure.
Q: What happens to 1970s frames in Sorrento's original homes?
Decades of salt air usually finish the hardware and seals before the aluminium. We make measured replacements for original openings, or supply full schedules when the home is being rebuilt entirely.
