Looking for a more efficient window and door installation? The Centrafix™ method is a BRANZ appraised and Codemark Certified alternative to the standard E2/AS1 installation.

By recessing the window unit into the building wall, Centrafix™ aligns insulation elements—wall, window frame, and double glazing—to prevent cold air from circulating around the frames and minimise thermal bridging. The integrated sill system ensures weathertightness, airtightness, and thermal efficiency, exceeding NZBC standards.

As one of the first APL fabricators to adopt Centrafix™, we’re fully equipped for your next project.

Yesterday marked a big milestone with the arrival of New Zealand's largest Twin Saw, the Model RS 600, at our machining centre. Its size required a 3.5-ton forklift and pallet trucks for installation!

This powerhouse maximises precision and efficiency, underscoring our commitment to quality.

This morning, we had the pleasure of hosting the teams from PlaceMakers Wairau, PlaceMakers Cook St & PlaceMakers Albany for a training session at our facility.

They received a behind-the-scenes look at our factory and machining centre, learned about industry standards, saw how our windows and doors are manufactured, and even got hands-on with the process! 👏

It was a fantastic opportunity for our customers to deepen their understanding of aluminium joinery—a great example of the added value that comes with partnering with Windowmakers.

The other week, we had the chance to check out the finished home by GJ Gardner in Millwater, where all proceeds will support the new Ōrewa Surf Life Saving Club Community Hub. We were thrilled to contribute by supplying the home's windows and doors.

It’s such a great community initiative that supports surf lifesaving operations and serves as a venue for local activities and recreation. We're looking forward to seeing it get auctioned off soon! 😊

Our collaborative approach ensures we fully understand our customers' goals, allowing us to do everything possible to meet them.

For this Lindesay Construction project, we crafted a window around a volcanic boulder, embedding the joinery and ensuring it was watertight — highlighting our ability to overcome challenges and make the most unique designs possible.
