Step into the APL Window Solutions showroom at Residium in Parnell, Auckland and see how windows and doors shape the light, warmth and feel of a home. APL is New Zealand’s largest window and door manufacturer, supplying more than half of the country’s residential construction market through three brands: Altherm Window Systems, First Windows & Doors and Vantage Windows & Doors.

Showroom 191 | Section C, straight off the reception area, brings that range together in one room, at full size and fully operable – set into styled room settings you can walk through.

Whether the project is a new build, a renovation or replacing tired joinery, this is where you’ll handle the systems yourself instead of choosing from a brochure. On display:

• Sliding doors, including over-the-wall and stacker sliders up to 3.9m wide
• Bi-fold doors and French doors
• Awning, casement and multi-point locking windows
• Klima® uPVC tilt-and-turn windows, hinged doors and sliders
• Minima Series minimal-sightline sliding doors
• Replacement and insert windows for existing homes
• Hardware, powder coat, anodised and entrance door finishes

Every window and door carries a label with its full specification: colour, hardware, glazing and size. A dedicated hardware wall holds the Urbo, Icon, Miro and Elemental handle ranges alongside Duralloy® Protexture, Duralloy® +Plus, anodised and entrance door colour boards.

Comparing your different options at full size and side by side, and get a feel for how smoothly every window and door operates.

The showroom makes the invisible visible – which a website won’t ever do. A cutaway frame section shows the polyamide thermal break inside a ThermalHeart+® window – the technology that slows heat escaping through the frame, and with it the condensation and mould that follow. A demonstration door opens to reveal APL’s Centrafix® installation method. An interactive temperature display compares standard aluminium, ThermalHeart+® and Klima® uPVC against a simulated cold exterior – so you can see, in degrees, what your joinery choice is worth to a warmer, drier home.

APL joinery is made to order by a nationwide network of independently owned manufacturers – so the showroom a self-guided space to explore and select.  Open 7 Days, no appointment necessary – simply drop in and explore at your convenience.

Once you’ve narrowed it down, we’ll point you to the right brand contact, and your local Altherm, First Windows & Doors or Vantage manufacturer takes it from there.
