Thomas and Steve from the Door and Window Exchange did an exceptional job replacing the 70 year-old wooden windows in my heritage-listed home. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail were truly top-notch, exceeding my expectations. The work was completed with precision and care, all at a very reasonable price. I was impressed by how they ensured the new windows seamlessly fit the style of my heritage home while providing modern functionality.

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 Double Hung Windows FAQ
Your Timber Double Hung Windows
questions answered.
What is the main advantage of Timber Double Hung Windows?
The primary advantage of Timber Double Hung Windows is their superior and highly controllable ventilation. By opening both the top and bottom sashes slightly, you create a natural convection current that circulates fresh air more effectively than any other window style. This functional benefit is paired with a classic, timeless aesthetic that is perfect for maintaining a home’s architectural character.
What kind of timber do you use?
We use premium Kiln-Dried (KD) Hardwood, specifically Victorian Ash, for the main frame of our timber double hung windows due to its strength, stability, 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.
Are modern timber double hung windows easy to open?
Absolutely. Unlike old, traditional windows that relied on weights and pulleys, our modern Timber Double Hung Windows use advanced spring-loaded balance systems. This ensures both sashes slide up and down smoothly with minimal effort and will hold securely in any position you choose.
Are they suitable for heritage homes in Melbourne?
Yes, they are the ideal choice. Timber Double Hung Windows are a defining feature of many Period, Federation, and Victorian homes across Melbourne. We can craft them to replicate existing designs and include custom features like Federation or Colonial glazing bars to ensure they perfectly match your home’s original architectural integrity.
Can they be fitted with fly screens?
Yes. Because the sashes slide vertically and do not project outwards, Timber Double Hung Windows are perfectly suited for fitting external fly screens without interfering with the window’s operation.
