I'm owner building in Melbourne now & have specified EcoClassic windows - the walls are going up now so windows are very close to actually being ordered. Go have a look at A&L & Stegbar - take notice of the seals, locks & winders, etc. Then look at EcoClassic. That's what we did & once you see a decent product it's hard to believe what some companies pass off as 'quality'. Certainly some other good products if you can afford the price tag - EuroWindows have really nice hardware. Rylocks thermally broken range is quite good. But for the price & proper silicone sealing (instead of rubber wedges which look & perform crappily in comparison) we couldn't fault Eco. Don't mean to sound like an advert; I just spent a long time researching this aspect of our build.

Sorry, we don't do actual timber windows, but we do do a great timber finish to one side, and it is indiscernible from the real thing, except it never needs maintenance. If you visit our showroom @ 319 Swan St., Richmond, the French door has this finish - you can see it in our window. Mahogany... beautiful...

AL is out of the picture.I have a very good price through a contact at stegbar but like the idea of dealing with a smaller company and have heard nothing but great feedback about eco. will let you know which way i go, cheers faultless is hard to find, talk to your builder because it has real potential to hold up the schedule so needs to someone they work well with.
