Why Timber Window Restoration is the Smart Choice for Sydney Strata

Replacing original timber windows in strata buildings is expensive and often unnecessary. Many older windows were built using high-quality hardwood designed to last for decades when properly maintained.

Restoration instead of replacement offers:

Lower cost than full window replacement
Preservation of heritage and architectural character
Improved weatherproofing and energy efficiency
Extended lifespan (10–20+ years)
Reduced disruption to residents
Compliance with heritage conservation requirements
For heritage-listed and conservation-area buildings in Sydney, restoration is often the preferred solution.
