Our Story
Summit Windows have recently celebrated our 50th Birthday.
With just three generations of one family spanning this timeframe, we can assure you of a solid foundation of knowledge, and customer service that has been passed from father to son, and from our family to yours. Throughout this long history Summit has evolved with the industry, and is consistently striving to manufacture cutting edge products that make striking statements in past, present and future eras.
However, we’re not only focused on the view. What’s equally important to us is that our products withstand the test of time, even in such a unique climate as ours here in Tasmania. All our windows and doors are manufactured to suit your individual location and you can trust they will keep you warm in Winter and cool in Summer.
We can proudly say our products are WERS Rated, and BAL Rating is applied where specified.
Our team consists of individuals who share our family values and committal to quality.
We work closely with our team members right from the first day to guide them through our practices and principles, and enjoy the diversity and professionalism they bring to our workplace.
We are committed to the future through our ever evolving innovation, and awareness around energy efficiency and sustainable material supply.
We are always on the lookout for young drive and passion that can work with and learn from our professionals, and continue to carry our work into future generations.
