Most homes in Surrey Hills were built between the 1890s and the 1930s, and most still have their original timber-framed windows. After a century of Melbourne weather, those frames are letting in draughts, losing heat, and doing nothing to block noise from Whitehorse Road, Canterbury Road, or the Lilydale line. Nu-Eco installs Surrey Hills UPVC windows and doors designed to replace ageing timber directly, without structural changes to the opening. We supply and install double glazing in Surrey Hills to a certified standard across every project. Book a free on-site measure and quote to get started.

UPVC Double Glazed Windows and Doors for Surrey Hills
Timber Frame Problems in Surrey Hills Period Homes
Surrey Hills has eight heritage precincts across the Boroondara side alone, plus additional protections under Whitehorse. The suburb’s Federation homes and 1920s Californian Bungalows are a big part of what makes the streetscapes distinctive, but original double-hung timber sash windows have a limited lifespan. Swollen frames, cracked putty, worn sash cords, and single glazing add up to poor thermal performance and constant maintenance.
Nu-Eco’s 70mm UPVC profile fits directly into existing timber openings. Our double hung windows replicate the sash style in a fully welded UPVC frame with steel reinforcement, and our fully sculptured windows reproduce the moulding detail found on original Federation joinery. Woodgrain finishes in Golden Oak or Rosewood give you visual consistency from the street. Inside, 28mm Argon gas filled IGUs deliver a certified U-value of 1.5 W/m²K and reduce noise by up to 80%.

Working Within Surrey Hills’ Heritage Overlays
Surrey Hills is split between Boroondara and Whitehorse, and each council administers its own heritage overlay schedule. If your property falls within one of the suburb’s heritage precincts, changes to external windows may require a planning permit. Nu-Eco’s profiles are built with this in mind.
The 70mm profile replaces existing timber frames without altering the opening. 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 technical documentation and profile samples to support your application with either council. We’ve also helped homeowners through Owner’s Corp approval processes for strata properties.
No More Condensation, No More Painting
Condensation on the inside of windows is one of the most common frustrations in older Surrey Hills homes. It happens when warm, moist indoor air hits a cold glass surface. Single-glazed timber windows are particularly prone, especially in winter. Over time, the moisture damages timber sills, encourages mould, and ruins paintwork.
Nu-Eco’s sealed double glazed units eliminate internal condensation by keeping the inner pane warm. The UPVC frames themselves require zero painting, staining, or treating. A wipe with soapy water is all the maintenance they’ll ever need. No rot, no rust, no warping, no fading. See our certifications page for the full performance and UV testing data.
