Mount Waverley is an established south-east suburb in the City of Monash, built out largely through the 1960s and 1970s and now firmly in a renovation and rebuild phase. Its large blocks carry a mix of original brick-veneer family homes, contemporary knock-down rebuilds and newer townhouses, but a great many still run the aluminium windows they were built with, now decades old. Double glazing in Mount Waverley suits this stage of the suburb’s life: it upgrades tired single glazed aluminium to a sealed, insulating frame, cutting both the summer heat and the rail and road noise that reach the suburb. APS manufactures German-engineered uPVC double glazed windows and doors made to measure for these homes, whether you are improving an original 1970s house or finishing a rebuild to a higher standard.
The common thread in Mount Waverley is age. The original aluminium windows on the suburb’s 1960s and 1970s brick-veneer homes have usually lost their seals and rattle in their tracks, letting heat, draughts and noise through. Replacing them with uPVC sliding and double-hung profiles restores a tight seal in the same openings, with a sealed double glazed unit providing the insulation the single-pane originals lacked.
Sliding windows give a clean frame-for-frame replacement for the aluminium sliders that define Mount Waverley’s mid-century brick-veneer homes, while awning windows suit the high-set and secondary openings common to that era.
Every frame is built to measure in APS’s own Kilsyth factory, which is what lets a replacement match an original 1970s opening or a new extension equally well. If you are weighing the cost, our Melbourne double glazing cost and pricing guide sets out what to expect.
Mount Waverley is at a particular point in its life that makes double glazing especially worthwhile. The original 1960s and 1970s housing stock was built well but to the thermal standards of its day, with single glazed aluminium windows that are now the weakest part of the building. At the same time, the suburb is renovating and rebuilding heavily, driven by its schools and its position near Monash University and Clayton, which means a steady stream of homes being brought up to a modern standard. Windows are where comfort and energy use are won or lost.
UPVC double glazing fits both situations. On an original home, it removes the aluminium thermal bridge and the draughty single glazing in one upgrade, holding heat in winter and out in summer. On a rebuild, it sets the home up with a frame that will not corrode or need repainting and that performs for decades. Homes near the Glen Waverley railway line and the suburb’s arterial roads, including Blackburn Road and Ferntree Gully Road, also gain a clear reduction in noise. Many projects qualify for the Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate, and as a registered provider APS handles the VEU rebate paperwork.
Enjoy Year-Round Comfort While Saving Energy
If you’re looking to reduce your energy bills, installing Mount Waverley double glazing is a great investment.

For comfort and energy use, it is usually well worth it. The aluminium windows fitted to Mount Waverley’s 1960s and 1970s homes conduct heat and have generally lost their seals, making them a major source of summer heat gain, winter loss and draughts. uPVC double glazing replaces them in the same openings and addresses all three at once.
Yes. Building uPVC double glazing into a Mount Waverley rebuild sets the home up with frames that do not corrode, never need repainting and perform thermally for decades. It is more cost-effective to specify quality windows during the build than to upgrade later, and it lifts the finished home’s comfort and efficiency from day one.
Yes. A sealed double glazed uPVC unit blocks considerably more noise than original aluminium, including train noise from the Glen Waverley line and traffic on arterials such as Blackburn Road and Ferntree Gully Road. Matching the right glass thickness to the window style gives the strongest result on the most exposed elevations.
Yes. Because APS makes every frame to measure, the same uPVC range suits a period-correct replacement on an original 1970s home and the larger, cleaner openings of a contemporary rebuild. Profiles and colours can be chosen to match either, from classic white to darker contemporary tones such as Anthracite Grey and Ceylan Black.
