All A&L windows
are proudly 100% designed and
made in Australia.

Those three simple words—‘made in Australia’—carry so much weight and mean so much for builders and homeowners alike.

We design and manufacture all our products, and provide dedicated customer support, right here in the same communities where you work and live. We have for over 45 years. Our entire approach is based on working in close partnership with Australian builders small and large, and knowing local needs.

Founded as a family-owned local business, A&L is now part of the family of one of Australia’s largest building materials manufacturers. We know what it means to be a small, family-owned business, and we know what it means to deliver quality at large volumes across the country. Working alongside local businesses and homeowners for many years, we also know why Made in Australia is meaningful for you and your community.

Local manufacturing

‘Made in Australia’ means faster lead times with DIFOT rates you can depend on

Foreign importers typically don’t stock product in Australia, instead manufacturing everything to order overseas. This creates an average 12-week lead time for overseas importers and manufacturers.

Our lead times mean you’ll have your windows within:

  • ​​5-7 working days in Queensland
  • 7-10 working days in Victoria

We also have a DIFOT rate of 94%.

When you choose offshore manufacturing, you run the risk of:

  • Damaged product on delivery, with low accountability and long replacement times

  • Delays in delivery, delaying trades on site

  • Liability for liquidated damages, with
potential for costly repayments

  • Damage to your reputation based
on unreliable products or deliveries

  • Delayed milestone payments

  • Disrupted cash flow, which can be catastrophic especially for smaller builders

Complete confidence

‘Made in Australia’—it means you’re always up to code, 
with much less work for you

We’re 100% committed to meeting every possible Australian building standard, code and regulation—even when they’re initially complicated or ambiguous. That means doing things like:

  • Having board level representation and maintaining strong connections with industry bodies like the National Construction Code, Standards Australia, and AGWA
  • Proactively building expertise in upcoming code changes, like energy efficiency, so that you don’t have to
  • Training our staff—and yours, at every level of the business you need—to understand and meet all codes and standards
  • Looking at build plans to identify any risks or challenges, pre-empting issues and delivering practical solutions to take work off your hands.

We partner with customers to eliminate risk, minimise your work—and potential for rework—and generally make life easy for builders.

But don’t take our word for it. Hear from our customers who’ve lived it firsthand:

“Whenever there’s an update, or even a rumour about the new specifications builders will need, A&L would proactively contact us [as energy raters] on behalf of their builder customers, unprompted. There’s nothing more valuable for builders now
than what A&L are doing.”

– Brian Haines, Director, Energy Lab

“Throughout [the recent energy efficiency updates to NCC], A&L made a concerted effort to be present and be part of our business. It was complete support, the whole way through—a holistic approach where everyone in the business had the support they needed, whenever they needed it.”

– Mark Hampshire, Operations Manager, Plantation Homes

When you choose offshore manufacturing, you run the risk of:

  • Having to learn and stay up-to-date with all new developments and updates to code, standards, and regulations

  • Having to contact your overseas suppliers and instruct them on what to do to meet every single new update

  • Having to scrupulously check all products meet strict performance requirements, and costly
re-work or faults with products that aren't
up to scratch

We do whatever it takes to reduce your work and eliminate your worry. When it comes to meeting strict Australian codes, standards, and regulations, can you put a price on peace of mind? Because you can definitely put a price on the consequences of re-work or damages from non-compliant windows.

Local staff and support

‘Made in Australia’ means dedicated local support—on hand and on-site—whenever you need it most

Our teams are local, just like you. Our extensive local knowledge means we understand your unique challenges and concerns when building in the unique local conditions of different areas. It also means our experienced team is right there when you need us:

  • You have the confidence that A&L service technicians can visit homes quickly
  • Most A&L on-site service technicians are ex-factory workers with huge knowledge and product expertise
  • We have processes to source photos and triage issues ahead of time, meaning you don’t need to wait through multiple visits from service technicians to get things sorted
  • Service technicians carry a wide range of spare parts and can fix many product issues on the spot, saving you time and getting you closer to key milestone payments

When you choose offshore manufacturers, you run the risk of:

  • Limited, or zero, on-site service support, with potential language barriers or time zone differences

  • Dealing with damaged products, incorrect orders, or missing components yourself

  • Challenges created by ambiguous installation instructions, increasing labour times and costs

  • Damages to your reputation as a builder based on all or
any of the above

A&L’s entire history is based on the idea of service, partnership, and reliability. Our future is the same.

  • You have the confidence that A&L service technicians can visit homes quickly
  • Most A&L on-site service technicians are ex-factory workers with huge knowledge and product expertise
  • We have processes to source photos and triage issues ahead of time, meaning you don’t need to wait through multiple visits from service technicians to get things sorted

When you choose offshore manufacturers, you run the risk of:

  • Volatile prices, shifting in response to freight charges, factory conditions, or changes in international construction markets

  • Price gouging, with unreasonable prices to make greater margin at your expense

  • Lack of service and after sales support, or companies completely withdrawing from the Australian marking pending changes in domestic priority

  • Committing to unrellabie and unpredictable supply chains

commitment to providing certainty for builders.
