Altona North sits between the bay and Melbourne’s western industrial belt, in Hobsons Bay. Its western edge is the Altona North industrial precinct, the former Toyota site, now part-redeveloped for housing, while its residential streets carry a mix of post-war brick-veneer homes and newer infill near Kororoit Creek and Altona Gate. Double glazing in Altona North works against two local pressures: noise from the West Gate Freeway and the industrial corridor, and salt-bearing air carried in off the bay. APS manufactures German-engineered uPVC double glazed windows and doors suited to both, sealing tighter against traffic and industrial noise and resisting the corrosion that affects exposed aluminium. For homeowners across Altona North, it is a practical gain in quiet, comfort and durability.
Altona North’s housing splits between older post-war homes with tired aluminium windows and newer redevelopment homes near the former industrial sites. For the older stock, uPVC sliding and double-hung profiles replace failing aluminium in the same openings, restoring a tight seal and adding double glazed insulation. For newer homes, the same range upgrades builder-grade aluminium to a quieter, better-sealed frame.
Awning windows earn their place here for noise as much as weather. Top-hinged with a compression seal, they block more of the low-frequency hum from the West Gate Freeway and the industrial precinct than a sliding window, and they stay weathertight against the salt-bearing gusts off the bay.
Every frame is made to measure in APS’s own Kilsyth factory. If you are budgeting the work, our Melbourne double glazing cost and pricing guide breaks down what to expect.
What sets Altona North apart from the rest of the Altona area is its proximity to heavy industry and the freeway. The suburb’s entire western flank is an industrial precinct, and the West Gate Freeway runs close by, so many homes deal with a constant background of traffic and industrial noise that the beachfront suburbs do not. At the same time, the suburb is close enough to the bay that salt-bearing air still reaches it, degrading exposed aluminium over time.
uPVC double glazing addresses both at once. A sealed double glazed unit measurably cuts the freeway and industrial noise that defines the suburb’s western side, particularly when the right glass thickness is matched to a tight compression-seal window style, and because there is no metal in the frame, salt-bearing air has nothing to corrode. The multi-chamber frame also lifts thermal performance on older post-war homes that were never built for it. Many of these upgrades qualify for the Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate, and as a registered provider APS handles the VEU rebate paperwork for you.

Yes. A sealed double glazed uPVC unit blocks substantially more noise than single pane aluminium, especially the lower-frequency hum from the freeway and the Altona North industrial precinct. Matching the right glass thickness to a tight-sealing window style gives the best result on the elevations facing the corridor.
Less than the foreshore, but it is not zero. The suburb is close enough to Port Phillip Bay that salt-bearing air reaches it on the south-westerlies, and over years that degrades exposed aluminium and its hardware. uPVC has no metal in the frame to corrode, so it avoids the issue.
Yes. Many newer Altona North homes were fitted with builder-grade aluminium, which conducts heat and does little for noise. Upgrading to uPVC double glazing improves both thermal comfort and sound insulation, which is particularly valuable given the suburb’s proximity to the freeway and industrial precinct.
In most cases, yes. Altona North’s post-war brick-veneer homes use fairly standard opening sizes, and because APS makes every frame to measure, the replacement is sized to your existing openings. A like-for-like swap of old aluminium for uPVC rarely needs structural changes.
