Akasha and his partner wanted to keep their home warmer in winter and cooler in summer along with giving their home greater street appeal. To say they are happy with the result is an understatement.

After being let down by another UPVC double glazing company, Rachel and Peter reached out to APS. Their initial supplier was quite rigid and not open to any flexibility in their installation process which wasn’t going to work for their project.
Backyard (before) Front Door (before)
We sat down with Rachel and Peter and discussed their requirements in detail to ensure we could meet their expectations and after several meetings, they chose to say YES to APS!

Now Rachel and Peter are enjoying the benefits of energy efficiency, noise reduction and added security from their UPVC double glazed windows and doors that also look amazing! The new windows in conjunction with the entire cladding replacement has completely transformed their home and they couldn’t be happier.
“These guys are great! Their product has made a big difference for us. We got the whole house done and really noticed a difference in temperature and noise. We’ve since set the thermostat at a lower temp because the heat is retained. But the main reason to go with these guys is the customer service. They come and help troubleshoot all your problems. They helped fix up issues that arose because of other trades. They have pride in their work and redid a section because they weren’t happy with the finish. So easy to work with, great team players, would definitely recommend!” – Rachel Clarke

Another fine example of UPVC Double Glazed Windows in Kew, by APS Double Glazing.
Sarah had just bought a new property and was renovating ready to move in. She had tired old steel windows and doors, whilst wanting to upgrade her windows and doors to an energy efficient option.
She was very concerned about noise as her bedroom window was directly opposite a bus stop. Our Double Glazing consultant offered her several options and she chose a high level acoustic option for the bedroom and once changed was blown away with the results.
“I live on a semi-main road with a bus stop not far from my front door. To say I’m happy with the final product would be a complete understatement. Jarrod and the team at APS were amazing! From the start of the installation through to the finish they were professional, friendly and put up with me asking a million questions. If you get to choose your installation team, I’d definitely recommend Jarrod’s!!!
The final product (windows and doors) matches the exterior façade in line with my tricky body corps requirements and gives the whole place a fresh feel. Holding in the heat and keeping the sound out, they are a welcome addition to my home.” – Sarah Brown

Wilhelmina Thomas
Director & Head of Administration
Mina, as she likes to be called, initially started her UPVC double glazing career as a telemarketer for Anglian double glazing in the UK.
Mina gained valuable marketing and administration experience in the UK working for several national companies providing UPVC double glazing and then moved into the renewable sector as the head of the instore and telemarketing marketing department. She was responsible for managing multiple pop-up stores in shopping centres and a small call centre.
When Mina and Simon moved to Melbourne, she started as the instore manager for a large UK company quickly escalating their sales. With her extensive and valuable experience, Mina was the obvious choice to manage the call centre and administration team at APS Double Glazing.
Simon Thomas
Managing Director
Simon trained as a carpenter in the UK and in 1983 started as the first installer for a German company installing Kommerling UPVC windows and doors.
As the UK industry developed, the company grew to 4 installation teams and Simon was promoted in 1986 to installation manager. A few years later he was further promoted to installation and production manager when the business started manufacturing its own products.
In 1996 Simon left the industry for several years moving to Spain and then Australia, returning to the industry in 2008 working as a sales manager for a large UK manufacturer and installer.
In early 2013 he was offered the position of training manager for an Australian company based in Melbourne. Within several years he had assisted in tripling the turnover and headed up the sales department of the business. It was at this point he felt it was ready it was time for a change.
APS was formed when Simon and two friends felt they had the experience to create a company that offered top quality European style, energy efficient products backed up by quality installations and award winning after sale service at reasonable prices.
APS has now rapidly grown to become one of the top UPVC double glazing companies in Australia with two manufacturing bases covering all of Melbourne, Greater Melbourne and Brisbane (soon to be extended to Sydney).
