Modern homes demand more from their windows — energy efficiency, seamless design, and custom engineering. See how ROPO helped bring all three to life in a stunning Frankston South project.
Project Overview
Located near Daveys Bay in Frankston South, VIC, this modern home was designed with expansive glass areas, open airflow, and a high-performance envelope in mind. The builder, David, needed a aluminum window supplier who could deliver large-format, thermally broken aluminium windows and doors compliant with Australia's strict AS2047, AS1288, and WERS standards — while also solving on-site technical challenges.
Product Scope
ROPO delivered a complete aluminium window and door system, including:
Aluminum Awning Windows
Aluminum Fixed Windows (Up to 6.6m wide)
Aluminum Sliding Doors (Up to 7.8m wide)
Aluminum Hinge Doors
Aluminum Sliding Windows
Glass Pool Fencing
All frames featured Technoform Bautec™ thermal breaks, enabling a 7-star energy rating — ideal for high-efficiency residential builds.

Site-Specific Engineering: Smart, Practical, Seamless
ROPO's engineering team met with David to review his architectural drawings in detail. Together, they addressed the project's specific challenges:
Large-format Openings:
David emphasized his need for wide openings and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. ROPO proposed stacking sliding doors measuring up to 7.8 meters wide and fixed windows up to 6.6 meters, engineered for structural integrity and thermal performance.
Corner Steel Beams Integration:
The floor plan revealed numerous corner doors/windows adjacent to 100 mm x 100 mm steel beams. Our engineers suggested custom aluminium flashing solutions to visually integrate the steel into the window system, ensuring a clean, cohesive look.
Ventilation + Lighting:
For better airflow and natural light, ROPO recommended strategic placement of awning windows and fixed glazing, optimized for both function and energy efficiency.
David's Feedback
'I had initial concerns about sourcing windows offshore. But visiting ROPO changed that. Their team is knowledgeable, their production is well managed, and their attention to technical detail is exactly what I needed. From compliance to customization, ROPO delivered.'
