uPVC windows supplier in Blacktown
Blacktown City takes in a large part of Sydney's North West Growth Area, and much of its housing sits beside motorways and rail lines. We supply Schueco uPVC windows and doors to builders there from St Marys, the next council area west.
Blacktown City Council and the North West Growth Area
Blacktown City Council covers the established suburbs around Blacktown, Mount Druitt, Seven Hills and Quakers Hill, and a large share of Sydney's North West Growth Area. The rezoned precincts in Blacktown include Marsden Park, Riverstone, Riverstone East, Schofields and Colebee, with Marsden Park North, West Schofields and the Riverstone and Schofields town centres still in planning. Kellyville and Box Hill sit across the boundary in The Hills; see our Hills District page.
Most of the work is project homes, duplexes and townhouses on small lots, built to repeat designs. That suits a supplier who can price a set of house types once and then deliver each lot as it comes up. Send us the window schedules for your range and we'll quote them as a package.
Noise from the M7, M4 and the railway
Blacktown is crossed by the Westlink M7 and the M4, the Great Western Highway, and the T1 Western and Richmond lines. For homes near the busiest of these, the NSW Transport and Infrastructure SEPP sets internal noise limits: 35 dB(A) in bedrooms between 10 pm and 7 am, and 40 dB(A) in other habitable rooms. It applies next to freeways, tollways and roads carrying more than 20,000 vehicles a day and near rail corridors.
Meeting those numbers comes down to the glass and the seal. CT 70 has two continuous gasket levels, and a tilt and turn unit was tested at Rw 47 dB with acoustic glass. Your acoustic consultant sets the Rw for each facade; we specify the glass build-up to match.

Specifying for Blacktown
Three things that come up on Blacktown jobs
BASIX on small lots
Narrow lots limit orientation, so windows carry more of the BASIX thermal load. Since October 2023 most new homes need a 7-star NatHERS equivalent. With 340 WERS ratings to choose from, your assessor can trade U-value against SHGC per window rather than upgrading the whole house.
Ventilation without open windows
On a noisy road, an open window defeats the acoustic glass. Tilt and turn windows ventilate in the tilt position, and VarioTec hardware has a parallel vent position of about 6 mm that stays at RC 2 security.
Alfresco doors
Project homes usually open the living area to an alfresco. SoftSlide sliding doors take sashes up to 1750 × 2200 mm; for wider openings, EasySlide lift and slide vents go up to 3225 mm wide with a flush threshold.

Supply
Delivered from St Marys
Our base at 21 Severn St, St Marys is just west of the Blacktown boundary, so deliveries to Blacktown sites are local runs. We deliver to site or to your yard and plan around your build program. For repeat house types, settle the specification once and each new lot becomes a matter of confirming sizes and timing.

FAQ
Questions from builders and architects
Do you supply new estates in Marsden Park, Riverstone and Schofields?
Yes. We deliver from St Marys to sites across Blacktown City, including the North West Growth Area. Send the window schedule for each house type and we'll quote them together.
What noise rules apply near the M7 or the railway?
For residential development next to freeways, tollways and roads carrying more than 20,000 vehicles a day or near rail corridors, the Transport and Infrastructure SEPP sets internal limits of 35 dB(A) in bedrooms at night and 40 dB(A) in other habitable rooms. An acoustic report sets the glazing; we make the windows to it.
Can you supply both townhouse and detached house jobs?
Yes. The same CT 70 and SoftSlide systems suit both. For townhouses and low-rise apartments, we check each opening against Schueco's size limits for the wind load on the building.
