Timber Windows & Doors for Heritage Homes
SUNSET Joinery manufactures custom timber windows and doors for heritage homes, alterations and additions across Melbourne.
We work with architects, builders and homeowners to retain the character of existing buildings through carefully considered profiles, proportions and detailing.
Respecting the Original Detail
On heritage projects, the details matter. Frame dimensions, glazing bars, mouldings and the relationship between adjoining windows and doors all contribute to the appearance of a building.
We replicate or interpret existing joinery to suit each project, with particular attention to street-facing façades and the connection between original buildings and new additions.
Our work includes:
Replication of original window and door profiles
Custom frames, sashes, doors and mouldings
Matching proportions, sightlines and glazing bars
Assessment of glazing upgrades within existing design constraints
Practical advice on detailing and fabrication
Traditional Joinery, Made for Each Project
Our experience includes the Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war homes found throughout inner Melbourne.
Each project has its own requirements. We consider the existing joinery, architectural documentation and intended performance before resolving the manufacturing details.
Where glazing or hardware upgrades are proposed, we help assess how they can be accommodated and what changes may be needed to the original profiles.
Early Input for Heritage Projects
For projects within a Heritage Overlay, early joinery advice can help architects and consultant teams understand what is practical to manufacture before documentation is finalised.
We contribute specialist knowledge on timber profiles, dimensions, glazing and construction, supporting the design team through planning, documentation and manufacture.
Discuss Your Project
Whether you are replacing original joinery or planning an addition, we can review drawings, photographs and profile details to help establish the scope.
