In short, I would recommend Sorin and Windows for Life. When you spend considerable sum of money and not receive the product for three months, then you want to trust the other party. I am pleased that Sorin was the other party.I rang up Sorin to enquire about double glazed windows for my house, he explained options and pricing. I measured the windows and I provided these to Sorin. Based on the specifications and the measurements Sorin provided a quote.Next, Chris came out to take accurate measurements of the windows. At this stage, I was happy to continue and pay the deposit which I think was 40% of the final price. Next, a day is arranged for installing.A week before installation I received an email asking for another payment, I think 50%. This payment must be made before installation day. Chris and his team came and did the installation over two days. On both days, they came at 7 am and left around 11 am. They were respectful, diligent and cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I very much recommend Sorin .Photos: one photo is the old window style, the rest are the new windows.Edit: typo

Replaced a couple of old windows. The new windows look good, and were delivered timely. The installers were great too.

We had uPVC windows installed, and the fit and finish were fantastic. The installation crew were extremely competent, and went above and beyond. Best reno jobs we have ever seen! Two years on and the window conditions remain superb. Recently, we needed weep hole covers and the company provided them at no cost.With greatest appreciation from:Paul & Suzanna

I recently had all the windows and French doors in my home supplied and installed by Windows for Life, and I couldn’t be happier and more impressed with the result. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional.They installed a mix of awning-style and tilt-and-turn windows, and the quality is absolutely outstanding. Everything feels solid, well-made, and beautifully finished. It’s clear they take a lot of pride in their work.The service throughout was exceptional—from pre-sales through to installation. Darren was incredibly helpful during the design phase, offering thoughtful advice for the style and function of each space. Chris, who handled the measuring, spotted opportunities to improve the window design, which made a big difference in the final result.One of the standout things for me was how accommodating the team was with my renovation schedule. I had a tight timeline and needed the wet area windows delivered and installed first.Installation was just as impressive. Chris and his team were punctual, respectful, and meticulous. They took great care to protect the house, cleaned up thoroughly after themselves every day, and delivered a tricky, complex install on time. They even went above and beyond by adding extra bracing and support for an old post that was compromised—something they didn’t have to do, but did anyway to ensure everything was safe and sound.The pricing was very fair for the amazing quality and service provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Windows for Life to anyone looking for top-tier windows and outstanding customer service. This team really knows their stuff, and they deliver with care, professionalism, and integrity.

As an Architect trust is everything. I approached Windows for Life with a query about another company's installation regarding a sticking Kommerling lock.Not only were Windows for Life respectful of the other company but they provided me with over the phone assistance to address and resolve the issue.Old fashioned service is rare these days sadly.If you value advice from an Architect, please take mine regarding Windows for Life and use them on your next project.Without trust and respect, there is no good outcome.Thanks again Sorin,Absolute legend!

We are so happy that we went with Windows for Life and we highly recommend them to others! We got 3 quotes and they were the cheapest by a fair bit and we're stoked with the quality of the windows and the installation. Chris and the installation team were always polite, helpful, efficient and punctual. They cleaned up really thoroughly and did a fantastic job installing all of our 8 windows/doors. Sorin has been amazing to work with throughout and is very organised and kept to his word with the timelines. We cannot recommend Windows for Life highly enough!!

In our last house we went with another provider and considered them "just OK". This time round we checked out around a dozen providers by the time we settled on Windows for Life.Sorin and the team were in short, fantastic to work with. I can't fault any part of the process in what was a massive job (large bay windows, French doors, awkward access, multiple trades on site, you name it).From pre-sales and quotation through to completion, communication was excellent and no shortcuts were taken. A couple of minor items we found after install was complete, were handled with great after-sales support and weren't an issue at all to get looked at and fixed.During installation, anything that was found out of the ordinary was called out beforehand, options discussed and expectations honestly exceeded when it came to handling problems that were part of the building itself and not the windows.Would absolutely recommend them without hesitation to anybody looking to upgrade their windows to uPVC. Thanks again Sorin, Chris, Jason and C for their work.

After few months of quotes and research I can tell that windows for Life are the best company for product, price and installation. W4LIFE team came punctual at 7am and in less of 4 hours they removed and disposed my old six aluminium windows. Installed my new double glaze windows without damaging plaster and tiles. They were really efficient and clean. My wife and I are very happy with the final result and we definitely going to use W4LIFE again to finish the remaining windows and doors in the future. Well done guys. Keep up the good work!

We looked at five window suppliers in Melbourne. Of those, we invited three to our home for a measure and quote, each of whom spent two hours reviewing our requirements, suggesting options and preparing their quotes. We were looking for a whole-of-house project.We chose Windows For Life because Sorin, co-founder of the business, was an excellent listener, very respectful and patient regarding our unique concerns. We followed up with a visit to the factory and had an additional two hours with Sorin.Our research had suggested that we should deal only with suppliers who were also the installers of the product. Windows For Life didn't meet this element, however, previous customers posted very satisfactory outcomes regarding the installation by the contractor team lead by Chris. When we asked Sorin about this he said Chris had been their installer of choice for quite a number of years and happily recommended them. We signed the contract and were content to wait out the six months period before installation.Chris and his team were fantastic. They were very respectful of us and our home while remaining thoroughly focused on the task. Over the four days Chris came to us on three occasions to explain some slight adjustments they needed to make and sought our views before proceeding.It's now more than a month since the work was completed. We are very pleased with the result, comfort-wise, and in particular the stunning aesthetical difference it has made to each room. We are very grateful to Sorin for his time, patience and professionalism and we thoroughly recommend Windows For Life to anyone looking to double-glaze their home.

Very helpful and honest company. Sorin from Windows for Life was very honest in advising us that UPVC windows were not a suitable product for our new build due to its location, wind rating and window sizes. Would definitely give this company the opportunity if I ever needed a window supplier again. This kind of service is hard to find.

Very happy with everything and everyone: Sorin and Marius and their HQ staff keeping me informed, Joby doing the work and the Flyscreen doors people. They double glazed half of my place a few years ago and, given how inflation has taken off since then, the cost of double glazing the rest of the house in December 2023 was very reasonable. Communication, workmanship, reliability etc all very good. I would strongly recommend Windows for Life.

We recently had all of our windows replaced by windows4life double glazed windows as our old ones were very thin, difficult to open/close and we were burning a lot of gas in the winter to keep our large house warm.A friend a few doors down had used them to replace his lounge and kitchen windows and was pleased with the results. We'd lived in the UK and experienced the joy of double-glazing, and I'd always wanted to get them installed but hadn't had the money.We dealt with Darren, who was very knowledgeable and arranged a measure and quote. We considered different options but went with plain white in the end, with tilt and turn windows and flyscreens.Extremely happy with the results. It took quite a while from the time of the quote to the install (like 3-4 months) but it was worth the wait. The windows all look great, they open and shut like a dream, and have rendered all of the freeway noise and barking dogs attenuated by about 10dB (a factor of ~10). It's like having Bose noise cancelling headphones on.Still summer and no warm days yet, so haven't been able to gauge the insulation qualities, but since both sound and heat are conducted in the same way I'm very optimistic.The window quality is very good, but you should be aware that the frames will need painting once windows4life is done. The flywire screens are easy to open and shut, and nicely taut.Overall a great experience I can thoroughly recommend.Matthew in North Balwyn - had 19 windows installed in just a shade over 3 days.

Great communication, gave me lots of time and insight into how the window industry works, when I asked for details.They double checked all the specifications really throughly with me and the builder.A small part of the framing cracked on installation and they came back and fixed it efficiently, letting me know how and why the problem occurred, timeframe to resolve - and it was fixed in that timeframe. With no muddle up internally - ie the installer had told head office.It was just one window for a backyard office, and they made me feel as important as if I was building a whole house.I will be coming back for a new backdoor and bathroom window in due course. Thanks Sorrin.

We love our new windows! Obviously we get benefits from the heating/cooling but even more impressed with the improvement in sound. It's like we live in a bubble. Noises from outside, especially traffic, have practically gone.Darren is great. He helped a lot with the process and dealing with all our questions. Chris and his team of installers are very professional and efficient. They did a great job.Happy customers 😀

Highly recommend these guys! The prompt responses and also the patience from Sorin/Darren to answer all our questions when my wife and I were reaching out for different quotes have been one of the key points in us choosing them to install double-glazed uPVC windows (tilt & turn) for our home.7-8 months after the initial deposit, the installation team arrived right on time along with all the windows/glaze. When tradies attend on time, you know they are of good quality. Chris, Chiranth, and Jason got the job done for all our 11 windows in about 8 hours split into two days. Updates were provided to ensure that we know what is happening during installation. They took great care both inside and outside of our home.Very happy now enjoying the extra comfort from these brand new windows and also how well they look on our 1950s weatherboard house. Big pat on the back to everyone involved from Windows 4 Life, your expertise has clearly shown on the end product!

We've just had all of the windows and external doors in our house replaced with double-glazed units from Windows 4 Life, and while we had to wait for 8 months from the time of ordering (thanks to COVID) we are absolutely delighted with the result. The new windows and doors have changed not only the look of our property, but also our thermal, light and auditory experience. Already we're noticing that the heating / cooling is more efficient, and that we don't hear many of external noises (like traffic) that annoyed us in the past. The staff at Windows 4 Life were professional and helpful at each stage, from Darren keeping us informed at each stage, to Chris and the super efficient installation crew, to Marius who promptly resolved several minor issues encountered. I highly recommend Windows 4 Life to anyone looking for quality double glazing from a reliable and professional crew.

I am a Property Manager based in Melbourne and my clients used Windows For Life to replace some windows in their unit in Elwood. They did a fantastic job and the communication and process of liaising with them was without fault. Sorin and the team were delightful and I would highly recommend them. Even our Renters were impressed with the process and the end result. Thank you so much WFL team. Carolyn :-)

Some years ago, our good friends told my wife and I they were having a number of double glazed windows installed in their home to replace old, single glazed windows to help suppress loud road noise. At the time, I thought ok, very nice. Hope it works out for you. After they were installed, my first reaction was WOW!!! I was SUPER impressed. Such a solid, high quality frame & glass. Superbly installed as well. Suppressed road noise for our friends, better than expected. Fast forward to 2021 and 2022. We decided to change over our old single glazed windows in 3 rooms and timber laundry door/window for Windows 4 Life high quality frames & windows. One in particular had to be extra sound reducing due to external air conditioner compressor/fan unit within centimetres of the window. Together with a number of extremely high quality noise reducing building materials, the window (and room) work together to reduce the fan noise (when on high speed) to barely imperceptible. An AMAZING yet expected result. The other rooms did not require the same noise reducing treatment as we live in a quiet street, but still, the double glazing, frame and expert install have surpassed ALL our expectations. If you're considering new or upgraded windows & frames, I can highly recommend Sorin and his highly professional team to exceed your expectations. Windows 4 Life windows really are for life! Thanks very much Sorin, Darren, Joby and everyone at W4L for a terrific job.

This is the second time we have used windows for life and again we have had excellent customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend this company and their product. Special shout out to Darren for his efficient helpful approach and to Chris and his team who were extremely respectful of our home and did an excellent job installing our new windows. We couldn't be happier.

I've used Windows For Life twice now, after having them installed in one house then later moving to a new place I really missed the comfort they provided (maintaining the quiet and warm or cool interior). So I went with them again and have had my expectations pleasantly surpased by the team. They finished them off well and made any adjustments I asked for. Double glazing should be standard on all homes (if not triple!).

While looking to upgrade the windows for the apartment building I live in, I sought out quotes from a few companies, Windows for life being one of them.Although they where too busy to take on the project, Sorin was upfront with me that he didn't want to promise anything they couldn't deliver. He was also willing to give me advice on the best product selection for our apartment and some pitfalls to watch out for along the course of me procuring quotes. We had a few chats over the that time, itwas awesome to have an expert opinion from someone who didn't have a horse in the race.

I needed windows to be specially designed and knew we were in good hands from the start. The process was seamless from beginning to end, everything transparent and consistent, even though working through COVID lock-downs and restrictions. The installation was amazing - efficient, respectful, expertly done and the clean-up outstanding. And of course the windows are fantastic.

Professional, reliable, knowledgeable, honest, easy to deal with. Our project was delivered in 3 stages over nearly 2 years and was as simple as it gets. Sorin and Windows for Life staff accommodated to everything we wanted and needed including last minute size changes without any fuss or dramas. Covid19 delays were clearly communicated and everyone complied with regulations and restrictions. Installers went above and beyond to ensure the end product lived up to our expectations. As for windows, they are worth every dollar spent. Can't thank Windows for Life enough for everything they have done for us and it's a shame that we can rate you 5 stars only as we have received 6 stars service from start to finish.

We've just had all of our windows and doors changed by Windows for Life to UPVC double glazing, 22 in total, and what a difference. The feel of the house has changed massively, no cold feeling in the air and no need to keep the blinds down all day anymore to keep the warmth in. The road noise level at the front of the house has reduced markedly so now we can sleep better whilst the rest of the house is almost silent. The extra security that the UPVC frames provide was also a major factor after we had a break in a couple of years ago. I defy them to break through the French doors in the same way they did the Aluminium bi-fold doors we previously had.We had shopped around for a while with other companies but only Windows for Life were professional and courteous. Sorin is polite, open and honest and his advice was excellent, even down to which dog door to buy.The installation team (Mike, Chris and Jason) were fast, finishing in 3 days, very professional and courteous. Answered any questions or concerns we had and left site at the end of each day clean and tidy (even if they did drink all our coffee and eat our bacon ;) )The finish is excellent and the quality of the product is outstanding, with a feeling of being strong and sturdy. Also the selection of options in both colour and openings allowed us to change the look of the house to how we wanted it.As for price? We had a budget in mind and Windows for Life came in under that budget by a significant margin.We've already recommended Windows for Life to a friend and won't hesitate to do so again.Great job, thank you.

We are in the process of a major renovation of our motel. As with most major expenses we get multiple quotes and try and compare apples with apples. In the case of Upvc double glazed windows we got offered American style, European style this option that option etc. When we reviewed the “options” windows for life came in with the cheapest price (by 50% of one quote) and the best Uvalue.The windows are great, reduced noise, warmer/cooler rooms and they look great. We can’t wait for our next stage/order of windows to be ready.

Very happy with the service from Sorin and his team. They were very patient as we designed the windows for our home in the ACT, and responded to every email and phone call promptly. Luke from New World Windows did an amazing job installing the windows. Very happy with the finished product, which has made our house much more comfortable all year round and reduced heating costs considerably. After-sales service has also been fantastic. I highly recommend Windows for Life.

We would like to sincerely thank Sorin from Windows for Life and Luke from New World Windows for transforming our home into an beautiful energy effiencient home by successfully supplying and installing all 13 tilt and turn double glazed windows and 5 double glazed doors for our Canberra home. Sorin and his team provided us with exceptional service through every process starting with expert advice on design, delivery of products that met our needs on time and on budget and above all we felt valued as customers at all times as they professionally attended to every question and request we had. We highly recommend Windows for Life to anyone building or renovating their home. We wish Sorin and his team all the best with their professional endeavours.

We were looking to replace our awning windows with tilt&turns after putting up with years of unwelcomed street noise and a lack of warmth in the house.From the start, the experience with Windows for Life has been outstanding. Sorin answered numerous questions with the kind of enthusiasm that shows he is completely involved and passionate about his product offerings.The best part about it is that there is no hard selling; he offers advice along the way and makes sure that the windows I'm replacing to fits its intended purpose. His prices are reasonable and you can trust that you are getting a fair deal.The process of replacing the windows was superb. We did encounter some issues during delivery but Windows for life sorted them out to our satisfaction.Joby and Leslie from the installation team made sure my young family wasn't too inconvenienced by the works being done. Joby's a professional, he knows exactly what's he's doing. He takes great pride in his work and you can tell that instantly.The finished works are a thing of beauty. My home looks updated from the outside. They work tirelessly, with minimal breaks to ensure that they make full use of the allocated time.At the end, we are very happy with the finished product, they cut out so much of the outside sound while maintaining a nice thermal environment. The house is nice and cosy. We should have done this sooner.TL;DR: We went with Windows for Life because Sorin is the most technically proficient with regard to the window build and ventilation requirements per room whereas the other companies we talked to merely wanted to replicate the design of the current windows but in double glazed format. And who wants that?
