Choosing windows for an older villa or bungalow

Older villas and bungalows are some of the loveliest homes in New Zealand — and some of the coldest. The good news is you don’t have to choose between character and comfort.

Keep the character

There’s a range of uPVC styles and finishes that suit period homes, so new joinery needn’t look out of place. The proportions and look you love can stay.

Replace or retrofit?

Where existing frames are sound, retrofitting double-glazed uPVC into them keeps disruption low and protects the home’s character. Where frames are past it, full replacement is the better call. We’ll tell you honestly which suits your home.

The result

A villa that’s warmer through winter, drier on the windows, and quieter inside — while still looking like the home you fell for.

Tell us about your windows.

Send us a quick note about your home — how many windows and doors you're looking at, whether you're replacing old joinery or fitting out a new build, and roughly when you'd like it done. We'll take a look, answer any questions, and arrange a time to visit and measure up for a proper quote. If it's easier to talk it through, give us a call.
