Kew’s streetscapes are defined by Victorian and Edwardian homes, many sitting within heritage overlays under the Boroondara Planning Scheme. Replacing windows in these properties means finding a product that meets council requirements while delivering real performance gains. Nu-Eco installs Kew UPVC windows and doors with profile styles specifically designed to replicate traditional timber detailing, so you get double glazing that satisfies heritage guidelines and dramatically improves comfort. We handle everything from measure to final quality check with our own in-house team.

Double Glazing Kew: UPVC Windows & Doors for Heritage and Modern Homes
Upgrade your period timber windows to certified UPVC double glazing without compromising the character Boroondara’s heritage overlays are designed to protect.
Double Glazed Windows and Doors Built for Kew’s Period Homes
Heritage Windows That Actually Perform
Many of Kew’s original homes still have single-glazed timber windows. The frames may be rotting, warped, or draughty, but replacing them in a heritage precinct requires careful product selection. Nu-Eco’s 70mm UPVC profile is dimensionally designed to slot into the same openings as existing timber frames without requiring structural modifications to the reveal. For homes with ornate window detailing, our fully chamfered and fully sculptured window profiles replicate the look of traditional timber joinery. The result is a window that respects the streetscape and passes council scrutiny, while eliminating the draughts, condensation, and maintenance timber frames demand.
Beyond heritage considerations, Kew homes near High Street, Cotham Road, and the Route 48 tram corridor deal with consistent traffic noise. Nu-Eco’s fully welded frame corners and sealed IGUs block sound transmission far more effectively than timber or aluminium alternatives. Our double glazed doors are built to the same standard, ensuring consistent performance across every opening. If you’re weighing up double glazing in Kew, a free on-site consultation is the best starting point.

Why Double Glazing is the right choice in Kew
How Nu-Eco windows deliver more comfort and value
An Experienced Team You Can Trust in Your Home
Nu-Eco is Australian-owned and part of a group with over 25 years of trading history in Australia and more than 60 employees. Our UPVC frames are manufactured in the UK by Eurocell, a BBA and BSI accredited specialist with 45+ years of experience. Glass units are sourced locally. Every installation is completed by our own in-house team from our Dandenong South base, not subcontractors. That single point of responsibility runs from your initial measure through to the quality assurance check and operation training we carry out before leaving.
We hold AWA and WERS certification, and every product is independently tested to AS2047 by a NATA-accredited facility. With 114+ reviews on ProductReview.com.au and a consistent 5-star rating, our approach is no-pressure, detail-focused, and built around getting the product right for your home.
Replacing Windows in a Heritage Overlay
Properties in Boroondara’s Heritage Overlay generally require a planning permit for external alterations, including window replacement. Nu-Eco has experience helping homeowners navigate this process, including Owner’s Corp approvals for strata properties. Our 70mm profile system is specifically designed to replace existing timber frames without altering the structural opening.
For period homes needing sympathetic detailing, our fully chamfered and fully sculptured profiles replicate traditional timber mouldings in durable, zero-maintenance UPVC. Dual-colour options, such as Oak on White, allow the exterior to blend with heritage streetscapes while keeping a clean finish inside. The material will not rot, warp, fade, or require painting, which eliminates the ongoing upkeep heritage timber windows demand.
Built-In Security for Kew Homes
Every Nu-Eco window and door comes fitted with European multi-point locking systems carrying UK “Secure by Design” Police accreditation. The locking hardware engages at multiple points around the frame rather than a single latch, making forced entry significantly harder.
All double glazed windows are internally glazed, meaning the glass can only be removed from inside the property. Combined with steel-reinforced profiles, these features provide a level of physical security that standard aluminium or timber frames simply cannot match. For Kew homeowners upgrading older windows, the security improvement alone is a meaningful step forward.
