From the design table
“We didn’t want the windows to be the first thing you noticed. We wanted them to be the reason the home feels calm.”
The brief, in the homeowner’s words
A full-house window and door replacement, planned before the first frame came out.
The home itself was a solid red-brick build the family had lived in for years. The windows and sliding doors were past their service life, and a piecemeal replacement would have left mismatched frames and a long list of small problems to chase. They asked Regency to take the whole house in one go. Every existing window out, every new window in, and the entire project managed by one team.
Regency was engaged to consult on the schedule, remove the existing frames, manufacture every new window and door in our Thomastown factory, and install the full replacement package. The result is a residence where the joinery reads as one continuous design rather than a stack of unrelated parts.
Orientation
The block faces north-east onto an established street. Mature trees on the south boundary screen the neighbours without blocking winter sun. The home was already in place; our job was to capture the morning light deep into the kitchen and living areas, and frame the long views to the north from the main bedroom and upstairs retreat.
Every Regency window on the plan was specified for its orientation. Magnum awning windows on the east and west elevations catch the morning and afternoon breeze. Fixed glazing on the north wall frames the view without operable hardware clutter. The 618 Magnum sliding doors open the living area to the rear garden in one clean motion.
Full-house scope, in-house delivery
The full-house replacement was managed by the Regency Windows team from start to finish. We removed the existing windows and doors, manufactured the new package in our Thomastown factory, and installed the lot on site. The block stayed weathertight throughout the install.

Independent customer review
“Recently purchased & installed aluminium windows for entire house. Price was more than competitive, product was great, service was impeccable. Dealt with Ewan who made process effortless. Nothing was a problem & I highly recommend them.”

Same scope, same team
Rob’s review is from a separate, independent full-house window replacement in the same suburb. The reviewer was a complete stranger to Regency before purchase. The product on his project was the same Magnum awning and 618 Magnum sliding door suite we manufactured and installed here.

One of the new Magnum awning windows in the main living area, framing the rear garden through deep timber reveals.
Detail
Frame alignment with the existing brickwork, sill integration with the interior floor finish, head heights matched to ceiling drops, drainage details that hold up over decades.
These are the things a casual visitor won’t notice, and the things that determine whether a window is still performing in twenty years. On a full-house replacement they matter twice over, because every opening is being re-made at once.
Regency manufactured every frame to suit its specific opening, including the stairwell glazing and the matching reveals across the front facade. The result is alignment that reads as one continuous design rather than a collection of windows.
The facade
Red brick, a generous staircase and a single large Magnum awning window above the entry. The Dune Colorbond finish was specified to match the trim, the new timber reveals were integrated with the existing brick course, and the head heights were set to align with the second-storey slab.
On a full-house replacement, the front facade is the test. If the new frames look like they were always there, the job is done. From the street, the elevation looks like a single considered design. It is. Every element of the window schedule was drawn before the first old frame came out, and the new frames were manufactured and installed by the same Regency Windows team that designed the schedule.
The finished home delivers on the original brief. Every window is new, every sliding door is new, the home is weathertight, and the family has one number to call for anything that comes up. Morning light reaches the kitchen. The living area opens to the garden through a full-height 618 Magnum sliding panel. The front facade reads as one considered elevation rather than a patchwork of old and new.
For a full-house replacement at this level, the windows and doors stop being building products and become the surface the family lives against for the next twenty years. The job is to make sure that surface is as calm, as durable and as considered as the home itself.
