Fitzroy North is the leafier, more residential neighbour of Fitzroy, centred on Edinburgh Gardens and the St Georges Road and Queens Parade corridors, in the City of Yarra. Its streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, a quieter and more family-oriented character than the busier Brunswick Street precinct to the south. Double glazing in Fitzroy North suits that setting: it upgrades the single glazed timber windows on established period homes, holding heat in winter and cutting noise from the St Georges Road tram and the Queens Parade traffic. APS manufactures German-engineered uPVC double glazed windows and doors made to measure for this period stock, so an upgrade reads as in keeping rather than modern. For homeowners across Fitzroy North, it is warmth, quiet and efficiency gained without sacrificing character.
Fitzroy North’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas call for windows that respect their proportions. Casement and double-hung profiles keep the vertical lines of the originals while adding a sealed double glazed unit, and because APS makes every frame to measure, a replacement matches an existing period opening rather than forcing a standard size into it.
Casement windows suit the vertical proportions of Fitzroy North’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, hinging at the side for full-width cross-ventilation on quiet residential streets while sealing tightly against St Georges Road tram noise.
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.
It is worth separating Fitzroy North from Fitzroy proper, because the character is different. Fitzroy is dense and busy, shaped by Brunswick Street and its warehouse conversions; Fitzroy North is leafier and more residential, built around Edinburgh Gardens and a higher share of family homes. The everyday issues here are thermal comfort, keeping period character, and noise from the St Georges Road tram and Queens Parade rather than the night-time bustle of the south.
uPVC double glazing fits this exactly. Made to measure, it keeps the proportions of a Victorian or Edwardian home while a low-e double glazed unit holds winter warmth inside homes that were never insulated, and the sealed frame cuts the tram and traffic noise from the busier corridors. Much of Fitzroy North sits within City of Yarra heritage overlay, so where a full replacement is involved we advise raising it at the quote stage and confirming requirements with council. Many of these upgrades qualify for the Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate, and as a registered provider APS handles the VEU rebate paperwork for you.
APS has manufactured and installed uPVC windows and doors for more than 50 years, using German-engineered Kömmerling profiles made at our 7-star-rated factory in Kilsyth. Every job is fitted by our own employed crew, never subcontracted, so the team that measures your Fitzroy North home is the team that installs it.

Yes. Because APS makes every frame to measure, profiles can be sized and styled to keep the proportions of a Victorian or Edwardian terrace or villa 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.
Yes. A sealed double glazed uPVC unit blocks considerably more tram and traffic noise than original timber windows. On Fitzroy North homes near the St Georges Road tram and Queens Parade, matching the right glass thickness to the window style makes a clear difference to how quiet the inside feels.
Possibly. Much of Fitzroy North sits within City of Yarra heritage overlay, and a full external window replacement can require a planning permit. UPVC can be configured to match period sight-lines, and we advise raising it at the quote stage and confirming requirements with council before committing to scope.
Considerably. Victorian and Edwardian 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 through winter while keeping rooms cooler in summer.
