Ivanhoe has a strong mix of Federation homes, 1920s bungalows, and later brick veneer, most with original single-glazed timber or aluminium windows. Those windows are letting in noise from the Hurstbridge line, Upper Heidelberg Road, and Burgundy Street, and they’re losing heat through every frame. Nu-Eco installs Ivanhoe UPVC windows and doors designed for direct replacement of existing frames without structural changes. We supply and install double glazing in Ivanhoe to a certified standard across every project. Book a free on-site measure and quote to see how it works for your home.

Double Glazing Ivanhoe: UPVC Windows & Doors for Period and Established Homes
Upgrade ageing timber windows in Ivanhoe with UPVC double glazing that cuts train and road noise, saves energy, and suits the suburb’s period character.
UPVC Double Glazed Windows and Doors for Ivanhoe Homes
Old Windows, New Problems in Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe’s established housing stock includes some of Banyule’s most distinctive period homes. Federation villas along streets like Kenilworth Parade sit alongside 1920s Californian Bungalows in heritage precincts that Banyule Council has been progressively expanding. But original timber-framed windows, after a century of use, are well past their best. Swollen frames, failed putty, and single glazing add up to draughts, condensation, and noise you can hear from the next room.
Nu-Eco’s 70mm UPVC profiles fit directly into existing timber openings. For period homes, our fully sculptured windows reproduce the moulding detail found on Federation joinery, and our double hung windows replicate the sash mechanism in a fully welded UPVC frame. Woodgrain finishes in Golden Oak or Rosewood keep the streetscape consistent. Paired with 28mm Argon gas filled IGUs, Low-E coated as standard, the certified U-value is 1.5 W/m²K and noise reduction reaches up to 80%.

Working Within Banyule’s Heritage Overlays in Ivanhoe
Banyule Council has been expanding heritage overlay coverage across Ivanhoe, particularly for concentrations of Federation and 1920s housing. If your property falls within a heritage precinct, changes to external windows may require a planning permit. Nu-Eco’s profiles are designed for exactly this situation.
The 70mm profile replaces existing timber frames without altering the opening size. Fully sculptured and fully chamfered profiles replicate traditional timber moulding, and dual-colour finishes like Golden Oak exterior with White interior help satisfy heritage visual requirements. We can provide profile samples and technical documentation to support your permit application. We’ve also helped homeowners through Owner’s Corp approvals for strata properties in the area
UPVC That Lasts in Ivanhoe’s Conditions
A common question from homeowners replacing timber: will UPVC hold up long-term? The answer is backed by independent testing. Nu-Eco’s profiles have been UV tested by Allunga Exposure Laboratory in Townsville, absorbing 35,789 MJ/m² of solar radiation, more than double the 15,000 MJ/m² required for Australian compliance.
Charpy testing for strength is performed before and after UV exposure, confirming no material degradation. The lead-free compound uses calcium organic stabilisers, and UPVC won’t rot, rust, warp, or fade. Unlike timber, it never needs sanding, priming, or painting. A wipe with soapy water is all the maintenance required. See our certifications page for the full testing data.
