UPVC Double Glazing — European Comfort Standards in Melbourne
Zohreh Dianati and her family came to Melbourne from Europe, where well-insulated homes are the norm. Their Lilydale home felt too noisy, too hot in summer and too cold in winter — a stark contrast to what they were used to. Having lived with UPVC double glazing in Europe, the choice was clear. They turned to APS Double Glazing, their local and highly recommended specialist, to bring their home up to the energy and acoustic standards they expected.
“I wasn’t sure if I made the right decision to go for double glazing my windows. Once all done, not only was I confident with my decision but I am now considering to replace the front door too. It was worth every penny. The new windows have changed the look and reduced the noise significantly. In terms of the service, it was a 5 star service. The window installers, Rhys and Ethan, arrived every day just after 7 am, worked nonstop till they completed their job for the day. They listened to and answered all my questions. They explained the stages of their work. They were super considerate. Once completed the installation they left my place clean and tidy. Besides, I liked their choice of music — what else could I ask for.”

Lilydale’s mix of older weatherboard homes and exposed elevated blocks means heat loss in winter and harsh afternoon sun in summer are common complaints — exactly the conditions UPVC double glazing is designed to address. Homeowners in the area looking into the same upgrade can see local pricing, frame options and project examples on the dedicated Lilydale UPVC windows and doors page, which covers what the process looks like from measure through to installation.
What Made This Project Special
European Comfort Standards
Coming from Europe, the Dianati family knew what a properly insulated home should feel like — UPVC double glazing was the obvious choice to recreate that comfort in Melbourne.
Significant Noise Reduction
One of Zohreh’s biggest pain points was how noisy the home felt — the new double glazed windows reduced external noise significantly, transforming the day-to-day living experience.
Year-Round Thermal Comfort
The home was previously too hot in summer and too cold in winter — the upgrade addressed both extremes, bringing temperatures into a much more stable, comfortable range.
Locally Recommended Choice
APS Double Glazing was chosen as the local, highly recommended specialist — a decision Zohreh confirmed was right once the project was complete.
Punctual, Considerate Installation
Rhys and Ethan arrived just after 7 am each day and worked nonstop until the day’s job was done — listening to questions, explaining each stage, and staying considerate of the home throughout.
Clean, Tidy Completion
Once installation was finished the team left the home clean and tidy — the kind of finishing touch that made the whole experience feel like genuine 5-star service.
