Fitzroy is Melbourne’s oldest suburb, and it shows in its housing: tightly packed Victorian terraces and workers’ cottages, alongside a growing number of former factories and warehouses converted into apartments, all within the City of Yarra. The streets around Brunswick Street and Gertrude Street are busy and characterful, but most of this housing still runs single glazed timber sashes or, in the apartments, lightweight aluminium, neither of which does much against winter cold or the area’s night-time noise. Double glazing in Fitzroy has a particular brief: lift thermal and acoustic comfort while respecting heritage character and, in many buildings, the rules of an owners corporation. APS manufactures German-engineered uPVC double glazed windows and doors that can be sized and styled to suit period proportions, so an upgrade reads as sympathetic rather than out of place. For homeowners across Fitzroy, from terrace to top-floor apartment, it is a clear gain in warmth, quiet and efficiency.
Fitzroy’s housing splits between period terraces and converted apartments, and the window approach suits each. On Victorian terraces, casement and double-hung profiles keep the narrow vertical proportions of the originals while adding a sealed double glazed unit; in apartments, the same range replaces lightweight aluminium with a far better-sealed, quieter frame. Because APS makes every frame to measure, the replacement matches the existing opening either way.
Casement windows keep the narrow vertical proportions of Fitzroy’s Victorian terraces while delivering the tightest thermal seal across a thin-walled period opening, and tilt-and-turn windows give converted-warehouse apartments dual ventilation with safe inward cleaning on upper floors.
Every frame is built in APS’s own Kilsyth factory. If you are weighing the investment, our Melbourne double glazing cost and pricing guide breaks down what a project like this typically costs.
Two things make window choice more involved in Fitzroy than in a newer suburb. The first is heritage: much of the suburb sits within City of Yarra heritage overlay, and a full external window replacement can require a planning permit, so the work has to keep the period sight-lines that give these terraces their value. The second is apartments: a great many Fitzroy homes are in converted warehouses or blocks where changes to windows need owners-corporation approval, and APS has experience helping owners make that case to a body corporate.
uPVC double glazing answers both. Made to measure, frame widths can be kept slim and colours moved away from stark white so the result is sympathetic to a heritage facade, while a low-e double glazed unit holds warmth inside thin-walled terraces that were never insulated and the sealed frame cuts the tram and street noise. Where a home is under a heritage overlay, 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.

Possibly. Much of Fitzroy sits within City of Yarra heritage overlay, and a full external window replacement can require a planning permit. uPVC can be configured to match the sight-lines and proportions of original timber sashes, so the result is sympathetic. We advise raising it at the quote stage and confirming requirements with council before committing to scope.
Often, yes, but changes to windows in an apartment usually need owners-corporation approval. APS has helped owners present the case to a body corporate, covering the product, the installation method and the guarantee. Once approved, uPVC double glazing makes a marked difference to both noise and temperature in a converted building.
Yes. A sealed double glazed uPVC unit blocks considerably more tram, traffic and night-time noise than single glazed timber or lightweight aluminium. On Fitzroy homes near Brunswick and Gertrude Streets, matching the right glass thickness to the window style makes a clear difference to how quiet the inside feels.
Considerably. Victorian terraces were built with solid, thin walls and no 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.
