Kew East is one of Boroondara’s leafy inner-east pockets, built largely between the wars and lined with Edwardian, Californian bungalow and interwar homes around the Harp and Kilby Road. Its housing is solid and characterful, but much of it still runs single glazed timber or aged aluminium windows that leak heat in winter and let in road noise. Double glazing in Kew East has a particular brief: lift thermal and acoustic comfort without flattening the period detail that gives these streets their value. APS manufactures German-engineered uPVC double glazed windows and doors that can be sized and styled to suit heritage proportions, so an upgrade reads as sympathetic rather than out of place. For homeowners across Kew East’s established streets, it is comfort and efficiency gained without a cost to character.
The window styles that work in Kew East follow the suburb’s housing. On Edwardian and interwar facades, slimmer framed casement and double-hung profiles keep the vertical proportions of the originals while adding a sealed double glazed unit behind them. Because APS makes every frame to measure, a replacement can match an existing heritage opening rather than forcing a standard size into it.
Casement windows match the Federation and interwar proportions found across Kew East, while bay and corner windows rebuild the projecting features that give these homes their street presence, reproduced in profile rather than reduced to a flat opening.
Every frame is built in APS’s own Kilsyth factory, which is what makes the heritage-matching possible. If you are weighing the investment, our Melbourne double glazing cost and pricing guide breaks down what a project like this typically costs.
The reason window choice matters more in Kew East than in a newer suburb is character. Much of Boroondara, including parts of Kew East, carries heritage sensitivity, and even where a property is not formally controlled, the street value rests on its period consistency. Swapping original windows for bulky, ill-proportioned replacements is the quickest way to cheapen an Edwardian or interwar home. The job is to gain modern performance while keeping the sightlines, proportions and colours that belong to the era.
uPVC handles this well when it is made to measure. Frame widths can be kept slim, colours can move away from stark white, and the glazing does the thermal work invisibly: a low-e double glazed unit holds winter warmth inside solid older homes that were never insulated, and the sealed frame cuts road and tram-corridor noise from the busier edges of the suburb. Many of these upgrades qualify for the Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate, and as a registered provider APS handles the VEU rebate paperwork. Where a home has genuine heritage controls, raise it at the quote stage so the right profiles are designed in from the start.

Yes. Because APS makes every frame to measure, profiles can be sized and styled to keep the proportions of an Edwardian, Californian bungalow or interwar home rather than forcing a standard unit into a period opening. Slimmer frames and woodgrain or darker finishes such as Oak and Ceylan Black sit sympathetically against period brick and render, so the upgrade reads as in keeping rather than modern.
It depends on the property. Parts of Kew East fall within City of Boroondara heritage considerations, and a home under a heritage overlay may have requirements around street-facing changes. uPVC replacement is frequently a sympathetic like-for-like upgrade, but where controls apply we can advise on profiles and finishes that preserve the appearance. It is best raised at the quote stage so the right approach is built in.
Considerably. Solid Edwardian and interwar homes were built without modern insulation, so much of their heat escapes through single glazed windows. A low-e double glazed uPVC unit slows that loss sharply, holding warmth inside and reducing reliance on heating through Melbourne’s cold months, while the same glazing keeps rooms cooler in summer.
Yes. The sealed double glazed unit and tight uPVC frame block significantly more traffic and tram-corridor noise than original timber or aluminium windows. On homes near the busier roads through and around Kew East, matching the right glass specification to the window style makes a clear difference to how quiet the inside feels.
