Windowmakers

Windowmakers Windowmakers is one of NZ’s largest (award winning) manufacturers of window and door 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.

🤔 Choosing the right windows and doors isn't always straightforward.

That's where we come in. As an independent manufacturer, Windowmakers helps builders and architects navigate the APL range to find the right solution for their project.

Altherm, First and Vantage are all part of the APL family and are designed and tested for New Zealand conditions.

Our latest article explores the story behind these trusted brands and how Windowmakers helps customers choose the system that best suits their style, performance requirements, and budget.

Meet Tracey Davies, our Business Services Manager and Queen of Health and Safety 👑

When Windowmakers brought two factories together into our one site at Wainui two years ago, a Health and Safety roadmap was developed to strengthen our systems, processes, and culture. Since then, Tracey has been instrumental in turning that roadmap into reality.

From helping roll out digital hazard reporting, a multilingual risk register, regular factory inspections, to improving emergency preparedness, contractor management, machine safety, workplace organisation, and Lean 5S practices, Tracey has been at the forefront helping the Health and Safety Committee turn great ideas into practical improvements that make our workplace safer.

The biggest success is the culture we've built. Today, our team is more engaged, more confident to speak up, and more committed than ever to looking out for one another.

🌟A huge thank you to Tracey and the Health & Safety Committee for making safety a core part of who we are at Windowmakers.🌟

▶️ Take a look at our evolution... ▶️

Our 5000m2 Wainui site - once a horse arena and film studio (home to productions such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Crouching Tiger) - has been reimagined into our award-winning manufacturing facility.

Designed for precision and performance, it combines advanced machinery with thoughtful architectural transformation, while retaining the character of the original space.

For our offices, Solux Ultra™ glazing retains heat, maintains consistent indoor temperatures, and reduces glare from the low winter sun, ensuring a comfortable workspace throughout the day.

Sustainability is built in, and we're proud this approach was recognised with a Silver Award at the 2025 NZ Commercial Project Awards.
