The best decision we ever made.
We traded all of our old cottage grid timber windows for aluminium with The Door and Window Exchange. The best decision we ever made. Tom and his professional, friendly, and punctual team delivered outstanding work. Installation was flawlessly executed, and they left the place spotlessly clean. Nothing for the kids to step on. Competitive price and such exceptional service, we hired them again for another project 5 months later when we added a pergola. Couldn't recommend them more!

Big Thank you to Tom - we had many builders around to quote the job. I felt comfortable and at ease as soon as he walked in. Don’t waste your time calling around for quotes- this business is the only contact you’ll need. I wish we found them a year ago! Thank you Tom for making it happen. You’ve done a sensational job and changed our living space. Tom’s suggestions and ideas were fantastic. In short Tom does what he says he is going to do - unlike many others out there. Call Tom for your project, you won’t look back! 10/10

Quality windows and workmanship!
Highly recommend Tom & the team for fantastic quality windows and workmanship! They not only replaced our existing windows but also extended our kitchen window exactly as we’d hoped—and the result has completely transformed the space. The kitchen is now brighter, feels more open, and looks so much bigger (a huge win in a small space!). The joinery is also flawless. 10 out of 10 :)

REPLACEMENT Timber Awning Windows FAQ
Your Timber Awning Windows
questions answered.
Why choose The Door & Window Exchange for timber window replacement Melbourne?
We are the trusted specialists in window replacement Melbourne. Unlike general carpenters, we are Registered Builders dedicated to full-frame replacement windows Melbourne. We remove rotting frames entirely and install custom-crafted Timber awning windows made from premium Victorian Ash or Cedar. Our comprehensive window replacement and installation service is backed by a 15-Year Workmanship Guarantee, ensuring your investment lasts.
What is an awning window, and why choose Timber for my Melbourne home?
Many clients ask, “What is an awning window?” It is a top-hinged window that opens outward from the bottom, creating a shield against the rain. Timber awning windows are a premier choice for Windows Melbourne because they combine this practical weather protection with the unmatched natural warmth and insulation of wood. They are essential for maintaining the authentic character of Period and Federation homes while providing modern performance.
How does a timber wind out window operate, and is the hardware secure?
A wind out window operates via a high-quality chain winder mechanism that holds the sash steady, even in breezy conditions. As expert window installers Melbourne, we fit our Timber awning windows with premium, lockable hardware (available in finishes to match your heritage style). This allows you to lock the window in a partially open position for secure, continuous ventilation.
Can you replace old, rotting windows with new Timber Awning Windows?
Yes. A significant part of our window replace work involves replacing old, rotting softwood windows with durable new hardwood. If you need to replace windows but want to keep the original look of your home, our custom-made Timber awning windows are the perfect solution. We match the profile of your existing architecture while upgrading you to modern, rot-resistant materials and better seals.
What kind of timber do you use for your Timber Awning Windows?
We use premium Kiln-Dried (KD) Hardwood, specifically Victorian Ash, for the main frame of our timber awning windows due to its strength and beautiful grain. Critically, we use Merbau for the sill—the horizontal base of the window. Merbau is renowned for its exceptional water and rot resistance, ensuring maximum durability where the window is most exposed to moisture.
Do you offer a full timber windows service near me?
Yes. We provide a complete windows service near me across the Melbourne Metropolitan area and Mornington Peninsula. When you search for replacement windows near me, you need a team that handles the finish work, too. Our in-house team manages the entire window installation, including internal architraves and external trims, ensuring your new timber windows look like they have always been there.
Can they be locked in an open position?
While the standard keyed lock secures the window when fully closed, the chain winder itself holds the window securely in any open position. This prevents the window from slamming shut in gusty winds and provides a degree of security while ventilating.
When is it time to upgrade to new Timber Awning Windows?
You should plan for house window replacement if your timber frames are soft to the touch (rot), painted shut, or rattling in the wind. Window replacement is the only way to permanently fix these structural issues. By upgrading to new Timber awning windows with double glazing, you solve the maintenance issues while significantly improving your home’s thermal efficiency.
