UPVC Double Glazed Windows for Eltham’s Distinctive Homes
Matching Modern Performance to Period Character
Many Eltham homes still have their original timber-framed windows, some dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. These frames have done their time: they let in draughts, transfer heat, and often show signs of rot or warping after decades in a heavily treed environment with high moisture levels. Replacing them with standard aluminium would look out of place and underperform thermally. Nu-Eco’s 70mm UPVC profile is engineered for seamless timber frame replacement, fitting directly into existing openings without structural modification.
For homes under a heritage overlay, our fully chamfered windows and fully sculptured windows replicate traditional timber detailing. Dual-colour options, such as Oak on the exterior with White inside, help match the original aesthetic while delivering certified thermal and acoustic performance. We’ve helped homeowners through Nillumbik Shire’s planning requirements and Owner’s Corp approval processes before, so if council compliance is a concern, we can walk you through it.

Meeting Nillumbik’s Heritage Requirements
Eltham sits within the Nillumbik Shire, which administers one of Melbourne’s most extensive heritage overlay schedules. If your property falls under a heritage overlay, any changes to windows or external appearance may require a planning permit. Nu-Eco’s UPVC profiles are designed with this in mind.
The 70mm profile fits directly into existing timber frame openings. Our fully chamfered and fully sculptured profiles replicate the moulding detail of traditional timber windows, so replacements sit consistently with the original character. Dual-colour finishes like Golden Oak exterior with White interior help satisfy visual requirements while delivering modern insulation and security. We’ve guided homeowners through the Nillumbik permit process and are happy to provide technical documentation to support your application.
Keeping Eltham Homes Warmer and Cooler
Eltham’s tree canopy keeps summer temperatures in check, but in winter, older homes with single-glazed timber windows lose heat fast. Nu-Eco’s 28mm Argon gas filled insulated glass units, Low-E coated as standard, deliver a certified U-value of 1.5 W/m²K. With upgraded glass options, that drops to as low as 0.8 W/m²K.
Steel-reinforced, multi-chambered frames with up to five enclosed chambers provide structural rigidity and an additional thermal barrier. Fully welded corners mean air infiltration sits at just 0.1 L/sec, well under the 5.0 L/sec the standard allows. The result is a home that holds its temperature, uses less energy, and eliminates the condensation that plagues so many original timber windows. Check our certifications for the full performance data.
