REGIONAL WINDOWS & DOORS

Aluminium windows and doors made for Canberra

Performance Windows supplies custom aluminium windows and doors for Canberra homes, renovations, new builds and commercial projects, backed by a Fyshwick showroom and a growing local project portfolio.

We help compare opening styles, glass, frame systems, colours and hardware around the design—not simply a catalogue selection.

Canberra project: Downer Residence living room and courtyard glazing. Explore more local work in the project gallery.

Project types

Renovations, window replacement, architect-designed homes, multi-opening packages and selected commercial work.

System options

Standard aluminium, double-glazed and thermally broken systems, subject to the opening, performance brief and budget.

A measured approach

Send plans, sizes and site details first. We review suitability, access and regional scheduling before confirming a quote.

DESIGNING FOR CANBERRA

Seasonal performance without losing the light

Canberra’s cold winters, sunny days and hot summer periods make glazing, frames, seals, orientation and shading central to comfort. A strong specification reduces unwanted heat transfer while preserving daylight, views and natural ventilation.

For established homes, replacement work must also account for the existing opening, weatherproofing, reveals and finishes. For new builds, early coordination gives the best opportunity to align performance, proportion and buildability.

Use orientation and shading to manage summer solar gain.
Compare double glazing and thermally broken frames for performance-critical spaces.
Review condensation risk, ventilation and internal humidity as a whole.
Coordinate bushfire, acoustic, accessibility and code requirements with the project team.

SYSTEMS TO COMPARE

A specification shaped around your project

We can help narrow the system family before detailed quoting. Final selections remain subject to dimensions, engineering, glass availability and the requirements of your builder, designer or certifier.

Double-glazed windows

Insulated glass units can improve comfort, reduce external noise and help address heat transfer through older single-glazed openings. Explore double glazing.

Thermally broken frames

A higher-performance frame option designed to reduce direct heat transfer through the aluminium profile. View thermally broken systems.

Replacement windows & doors

For renovations, staged upgrades and full replacements where existing frames, seals or layouts no longer suit the home. Understand the replacement process.

CANBERRA PROJECTS

Local work across homes and public buildings

Performance Windows projects in Canberra show how frame systems, glass and detailing can be adapted to very different briefs—from private residences to education and emergency-services facilities.

Curtin Duplex

Natural bronze windows and glazed doors used throughout a considered residential design.

Pearce Residence

Dark aluminium framing coordinated with a landscaped courtyard and garden.

Margaret Hendry School

Commercial glazing integrated into the school expansion façade.

HOW REGIONAL ENQUIRIES WORK

Clear information first, then a practical scope

Regional work is assessed by project scope, access, programme and product suitability. Sending useful information early helps us determine the right next step without overpromising timing or travel.

1. Share the brief
Include the address or suburb, plans, approximate sizes, photos, preferred timeframe and whether the project is a renovation, replacement, new build or commercial job.

2. Review systems
We identify suitable window and door families, likely glazing considerations and any questions needing clarification.

3. Confirm scope and scheduling
We confirm whether the project can be serviced, what information is required for pricing and the next measurement or coordination step.

CANBERRA & THE REGION

A local base with regional reach

The Performance Windows showroom is at 58 Townsville Street, Fyshwick ACT 2609. Canberra enquiries include established-home replacements, renovations, architect-designed residences, new builds and commercial packages across the ACT.

We also assess suitable regional projects in Queanbeyan, Yass Valley, Murrumbateman, Bungendore, Goulburn, Wagga Wagga and surrounding markets by scope and scheduling.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Canberra window and door FAQs

Where is the Performance Windows showroom?

The showroom is at 58 Townsville Street, Fyshwick ACT 2609. Contact the team before visiting if you want to discuss a particular system or project.

Do you handle both renovations and new builds?

Yes. The information needed differs: replacement work benefits from photos and opening details, while new builds usually begin with plans, schedules and performance requirements.

What is the difference between double glazing and thermally broken frames?

Double glazing improves the insulated glass unit. A thermally broken frame reduces heat transfer through the aluminium profile. They can be specified together when the project requires a higher-performing whole-window solution.

Can I see completed Canberra projects?

Yes. The site includes detailed project pages for Curtin Duplex, Downer Residence, Pearce Residence, Margaret Hendry School and Acton ESA Station.

Can you help with condensation?

Window upgrades may help, but condensation also depends on indoor humidity, ventilation, temperature and thermal bridges. The whole building context should be considered rather than treating glass alone as the only cause.
