Bentleigh is one of Melbourne’s most popular family suburbs, known for its tree-lined streets, strong schools, and vibrant Centre Road shopping strip. The suburb’s housing stock is predominantly 1950s–70s brick veneer and weatherboard homes — many of which are now being renovated or extended by families seeking more space and better energy performance.
At Smart Doors & Windows, we provide double glazed uPVC and aluminium windows that are a natural fit for Bentleigh’s renovation boom. Whether you’re doing a full knockdown-rebuild or simply upgrading tired windows in an existing home, our products deliver measurable improvements in comfort, noise reduction, and energy efficiency.
The Bentleigh Challenge: Aging Windows & Rising Energy Costs
Most Bentleigh homes built in the 1950s–70s were fitted with single-glazed aluminium windows that have deteriorated over decades of Melbourne weather. These windows rattle in the wind, let heat escape in winter, and transmit road noise from Centre Road and Nepean Highway. For families with young children, they also present security concerns — basic latches and thin glass are easy to force.
Upgrading to double glazed uPVC windows solves all of these problems. The sealed double glazed units reduce noise by up to 35 decibels, while the multi-chambered uPVC profiles cut heating and cooling energy use by up to 30%. Modern multi-point locking systems and toughened glass options provide significantly improved security for families.
uPVC Windows for Bentleigh Family Homes
Our aluplast uPVC windows are manufactured at our Albion factory using German-engineered profiles. For Bentleigh’s brick veneer homes, we offer casement, awning, and sliding styles in white and neutral tones that complement the existing architecture. For renovations adding open-plan living, we provide larger sliding and bifold configurations that connect indoor spaces to backyard entertaining areas.
Aluminium Windows
For Bentleigh’s growing number of contemporary new builds and major renovations, our aluminium windows deliver slim sightlines, structural strength, and a modern aesthetic that suits open-plan living. Aluminium is the go-to frame material for bifold doors, large sliding panels, and floor-to-ceiling fixed glazing that maximises natural light.
We offer fixed glazing, casement, vario-slide, tilt-and-slide, slide-and-fold, and awning styles in a wide range of powder-coat colours. Every frame is custom-sized to your specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions – Windows in Bentleigh
Should I replace the original aluminium windows in my 1960s Bentleigh home?
Yes. Most 1960s–70s Bentleigh homes were fitted with single-glazed aluminium windows that have no thermal break. These windows are a major source of heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Replacing them with double glazed uPVC or thermally broken aluminium windows will improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and increase your home’s resale value.
How much do double glazed windows cost for a typical Bentleigh home?
Pricing depends on the number of windows, frame material, and opening style. A typical Bentleigh 3-bedroom home with 8–12 windows can expect to invest between $8,000 and $18,000 for quality double glazed uPVC windows, including installation. We provide free measure-and-quote appointments so you get an accurate price for your specific home.
Are double glazed windows worth it for a Bentleigh renovation?
Absolutely. If you’re already renovating, windows are one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make. Double glazed windows improve energy efficiency, reduce noise from Centre Road and Nepean Highway, enhance security, and add significant value to the finished project. Many Bentleigh renovators find that new windows transform both the comfort and appearance of their home.
How long does window replacement take in Bentleigh?
A typical Bentleigh home window replacement takes 1–2 days for installation, depending on the number of windows. Manufacturing lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation. For renovation projects, we coordinate with your builder to align our installation with the overall construction timeline.
Do uPVC windows improve home security in Bentleigh?
Yes. Our uPVC windows feature multi-point locking systems and toughened glass options that significantly improve security compared to older single-glazed windows with basic latches. Double glazed panels are also much harder to break than single-pane glass, providing an additional deterrent. For families with children, we also offer keyed locks and restricted openings.
