Windowmakers Since 2002, Windowmakers has independently manufactured award-winning aluminium joinery for architectural homes and bespoke builds.

We help architects, builders and homeowners achieve exceptional results using NZ-made APL systems. Windowmakers was originally established eighteen years ago as First Windows and Doors North Harbour. In 2002, it was rebranded to Windowmakers which is now one of the largest manufacturers of window and door systems in the Auckland Region that produce custom made windows and doors. Windowmakers are dedicated to providing top quality products and a completely personalised service to our customers. Our business is a success due to our uncompromisingly high standards, our strategy of choosing to work with a select number of customers, and our long-term relationships with our customers. Windowmakers aim to provide the ultimate service for our customers. We produce to the most exacting specifications and our stylish aluminium joinery products are capable of dealing with the harshest realities of the New Zealand climate. Windowmakers only use the best quality APL window and door product range including Metro Series, APL Architectural Series and Metro Series Thermal Heat. To achieve our high standard we use precision Italian Engineering in the form of electronic cutting and machining equipment to give your joinery an accurate perfect finish every time. At Windowmakers, we are proud of our difference and have won numerous awards that admire our difference in the industry. These include winning the 2011 Westpac Auckland North Business Awards Excellence in Marketing award, the 2011 Most Sustainable Business Award in the Bloom Her Business awards and the 2010 Westpac Enterprise North Shore Business Excellence awards in the Employer of choice award. From start to finish, however extensive your project, at Windowmakers we have the experience and expertise to assist you. Through specific customer focused solutions our expert team will work closely with you to understand and meet your particular requirements.

🌿 Don’t forget the tracks! 🌿

When you’re spring cleaning your windows and doors, there are a few spots that deserve some extra attention.

Sills, tracks and drainage holes can collect dirt and debris over time, which can affect how smoothly your windows and doors operate. Keeping these areas clean is an important part of regular joinery maintenance.

Our quick Knowledge Hub video shows you how to remove debris, clean your tracks and keep drainage holes clear, helping your windows and doors continue to work as they should.

⭐️ It's not a glamorous question - but it's the question that will matter in ten years time.

In our latest blog post we discuss how local industry experience, rigorous testing, and manufacturing quality impacts the overall performance of our windows and doors.

Our products are designed specifically for NZ's climate and approach to construction.

When you buy New Zealand made joinery from Windowmakers, you are buying the knowledge accumulated over time, from people who have seen the building code evolve, and who have the technical expertise to properly support your end goals.

Contact us directly to discuss how we tailor our products and services to meet your project’s unique requirements.

⭐️ How does local knowledge improve product design?

We've been enjoying APL's 'Made Here, For You' podcast series. In Episode 5, Adam Luxton, APL Fabricator Development Manager, discusses the role that experience and rigorous testing play in APL's design process.

Feedback from builders, architects and fabricators is also key to this process - and soon we'll be sharing our own perspective on what makes a window and door system reliable - based on 20+ years of industry experience. Stay tuned 🙂

We'd love to help you with your aluminium joinery requirements for any upcoming projects.

✨What do you think of the vertical screening here?

This stunning project by Studio2 Architects and JD Construction Co., features Windowmakers' windows as a key part of the gabled design.

This double story studio is located in Mt Eden, with the dormer room facing the street. The screening is a popular choice for privacy - it works in this build to allow natural light to filter through in a pleasing way, with the space still feeling personal and private.

Let us know what you think in the comments. We'll be at the upcoming Home Show - Friday 11th September at the Auckland Showgrounds - if you would like to discuss a project with us. More on that soon!
