Welcome to ASE Aluminium Windows & Doors !
A renovation of a Victorian terrace in Glenferrie Road or Auburn Village will inevitably come with its own set of frustrations. You will have to contend with the noise of passing trams, heritage restrictions that dictate what you can do, and inadequate timber-frame construction. With ASE custom-made aluminium windows and doors for houses and commercial spaces in Hawthorn, all three major challenges can be easily overcome.
Houses situated along busy roads, such as Riversdale Road, or even near Swinburne University, would require soundproofing to maintain a peaceful environment inside the house. We manufacture special window frames, including awning windows, which have top hinges and allow constant airflow at the top in all weather conditions; fixed windows, which bring daylight into a room; and sliding windows, which suit the design of modern townhouses. Our aluminium windows and doors in Hawthorn feature improved thermal breaks and double glazing to reduce urban noise pollution and energy costs.
And when you’re trying to keep a character-filled heritage front while adding a modern rear extension, you still need framing that makes sense, ventilation, and privacy; all that looks like a well-balanced act. ASE powder-coats our frames and engineers them so they can handle the weather long-term, without warping or annoying rattling later. Picking our durable aluminium doors and windows in Hawthorn basically means smoother operation, fewer headaches, and low maintenance for years.


Linking your indoor living rooms with a back garden patio or a courtyard deck is a pretty common upgrade lately in Hawthorn homes. At ASE, we make custom entry doors, bold pivot doors, classic French doors, and neat multi-stack doors, all properly fitted to your floor plan. We also offer heavy-duty fly doors with strong mesh so insects can’t get through, but those late afternoon breezes can still move through. Choosing our premium aluminium windows and doors in Hawthorn improves draft resistance, security, and overall long-term quality across every window and door, including those at the front.
For families upgrading older period homes, or building a higher-end infill, it really helps to have resilient, well-insulated frames. We specialise in custom residential windows and doors in Hawthorn style, but it’s not just about looks. Homeowners usually want practical upgrades, so we provide custom aluminium windows and doors in Hawthorn tailored to suit both style and everyday living. Our custom residential doors and windows in Hawthorn selection also includes multi-point locking systems and Low-E thermal glass, so you’re protecting the home while still keeping energy bills under control year-round.
In both Glenferrie Road and the surrounding shopping precincts, cafés, fashion boutiques, and commercial fit-outs require glazing products that meet the necessary safety criteria. At the same time, they cannot compromise their street presence. ASE designs structural Curtain Walls, commercial doors, and windows that help protect local businesses in Hawthorn from excessive heat, security issues, and regular wear and tear in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. We also carry out complete replacement work, where our specialists remove old timber or steel structures and install aluminium ones, with minimal downtime.

ASE builds heavy-duty aluminium sliding doors to block persistent traffic noise running along Hawthorn’s main roads. They come with acoustic seals, plus tracking mechanisms that stay smooth for quiet, stable day-to-day use.

For modern extensions and heritage retrofits, our custom aluminium awning windows are designed to keep the weather out while still providing excellent ventilation. This helps boost energy efficiency in every season, not just in summer.

Want extra home security and insect defence, but you still need airflow? We create durable, custom-fitted screens that suit Hawthorn residences and commercial premises where natural ventilation truly matters.
We specialise in custom acoustic glazing to reduce noise from urban traffic and tram rumbling along Riversdale Road, while incorporating high-performance rear glass extensions that complement the classic Victorian exterior of Hawthorn.
All frames are made in Melbourne by ASE Windows, and our own team of installers performs all assembly, so there's no middleman markup. All frames are manufactured to Australian standards and specifications.
Widely used by homeowners upgrading heritage homes, boutique shops lining Glenferrie Road and custom builders who require exact manufacturing lead times.
Whether your project is a heritage renovation or a brand new building, ASE Windows will have the aluminium framing for you in Hawthorn. Contact us on 0404 148 237 or saeed@asewindows.com.au for a free quotation.
Yes. Hawthorn sits within the City of Boroondara, around eighteen kilometres from the Clayton South factory, with Kew, Camberwell, Richmond and Glen Iris covered nearby. Much of the housing here is well over a century old, so openings are measured individually.
Yes, and it is a different brief from a family home. Buildings around Swinburne turn over tenants every year or two, so hardware gets far more use than in a house, openings are often restricted for safety, and durability matters more than appearance. Work is usually scheduled between tenancies.
It needs checking before any work starts. Homes built before the 1990s can contain asbestos in sheeting around openings and in older window putty, and paint from before the 1970s can contain lead. Neither is disturbed safely as part of a window job, so both are assessed and handled by licensed trades first.
Glenferrie Road runs long and trades late, with a student population keeping food tenancies busy well beyond normal retail hours. That affects scheduling more than specification: shopfront work there is often done overnight or between tenancies rather than during the day.
Usually quoted separately. A flyscreen is its own item made to fit the window, so it appears as a separate line rather than being assumed. It is worth deciding at quote stage, since screens made with the windows fit better and cost less than ones added afterwards.
Yes, and it is worth doing for colour. Powder coat colours look different in daylight from how they appear on a chart or a screen, particularly the greys and bronzes. Asking for a sample of the actual colour, viewed outside against the house, avoids the most common regret.
