Hawthorn holds one of Melbourne’s highest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian homes, many protected under Boroondara’s heritage overlays. These properties look stunning from the street, but original timber sash windows do very little to keep tram noise out or warmth in. Nu-Eco installs Hawthorn UPVC windows and doors that solve both problems without changing the character of your home. Our profiles are designed for direct timber frame replacement, and heritage-sympathetic finishes mean the result sits comfortably alongside original detailing.

Double Glazing Hawthorn: UPVC Windows & Doors for a Quieter, More Comfortable Home
Block tram and traffic noise in Hawthorn’s heritage homes with double glazed UPVC windows & doors, installed from our Melbourne base.
Double Glazed Windows and Doors for Hawthorn’s Period Homes
Tram Noise, Draughts, and What Your Windows Aren’t Doing
Six tram routes pass through Hawthorn, running along Glenferrie Road, Burwood Road, Riversdale Road, and Power Street. Add the Belgrave and Lilydale train lines through Hawthorn and Glenferrie stations, and noise is part of daily life for most homes in the suburb. Single-glazed timber windows with ageing putty and worn sash mechanisms are effectively open to the elements: they rattle, they let in draughts, and they transmit sound almost unimpeded.
Nu-Eco’s fully welded UPVC frames achieve air infiltration of just 0.1 L/sec, compared to the 5.0 L/sec the standard allows. That alone makes a dramatic difference to both noise and draughts. Paired with 28mm Argon gas filled insulated glass units, Low-E coated as standard, you get a home that’s quieter, warmer in winter, and cooler in summer. For period homes, our double hung windows replicate the sash style while delivering modern thermal and acoustic performance. Our front doors and side light screens complete the upgrade for Hawthorn’s traditional entry configurations.

How Nu-Eco’s Double Glazing Cuts Tram Noise in Hawthorn
Sound travels through gaps. The more gaps a window has, the more noise gets through. Original timber sash windows have moving parts, ageing putty lines, and mechanical joins that all act as sound pathways. Nu-Eco’s noise reduction windows are engineered to eliminate those pathways.
Fully welded frame corners remove the mechanical joins found in aluminium and older timber windows. The sealed 28mm IGU creates a second barrier, and the Argon gas fill between the panes dampens sound vibration. Homeowners on tram corridors consistently report an immediate, noticeable difference, particularly in bedrooms and living areas facing the road.
What Happens After Your Hawthorn Installation
Every Nu-Eco installation ends with a thorough quality assurance check and hands-on operation training. We walk you through opening, closing, locking, and cleaning your new windows and doors before we leave. You won’t be left guessing how anything works.
We provide a 10-year warranty on sealed double glazed units against failure. UPVC itself requires no painting, staining, or treating. A wipe with soapy water is all the maintenance your frames will ever need. For full details on our testing and standards, visit our certifications page.
