Aluminium Windows in the Northern Rivers
Fix Stubborn Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows should glide open easily and close securely, not stick, drop suddenly or rattle in the frame. At Working Windows, we repair aluminium windows across the Northern Rivers so they work the way they were designed to. Our team focuses on practical repairs that restore smooth operation and help extend the life of your existing windows.
Most aluminium window issues come down to worn components inside the window system. Spiral balances, springs, seals and hardware all play a role in how the window moves and seals. When these parts wear out, windows can become heavy to lift, difficult to close or unable to stay open. We repair these issues with services such as spiral balance replacement, spring replacement, hardware adjustments and weather seal installation. We can also restore frames, adjust locks and carry out reinstallation work when windows have shifted or loosened over time.
If your aluminium windows are becoming difficult to use or no longer seal properly, we can help bring them back to life. Call 0405 793 994 to organise aluminium window repairs across the Northern Rivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my aluminium windows suddenly hard to open?
Aluminium windows often become difficult to open when the internal balance system begins to wear out. Spiral balances and springs support the weight of the window sash and allow it to move smoothly. When these parts lose tension, the window can feel heavy or uneven when lifting or sliding. Dirt in the tracks or misaligned hardware can also create resistance. Repairing or replacing the worn balance system and adjusting the window hardware usually restores smooth movement.
Can aluminium windows be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, many aluminium window issues can be repaired without replacing the entire window. Problems such as worn spiral balances, broken springs, faulty locks, damaged seals or loose hardware are very common. Replacing these components allows the window to operate normally again. Full replacement is usually only necessary when the window frame itself is severely damaged or warped.
How can rattling aluminium windows be fixed?
Rattling windows are typically caused by worn seals, loose hardware or alignment issues. When a window does not sit tightly within its frame it can vibrate during windy conditions. Repairs usually involve adjusting hardware, installing new weather seals or correcting the window alignment. These repairs help the window close securely which stops the rattling and improves insulation inside the home.
Signs Your Aluminium Windows Need Attention
If your aluminium windows are becoming harder to use or no longer feel secure, it is often a sign that a component inside the window system needs attention.
Common signs your aluminium windows may need repairs include:
- Windows feel heavy or difficult to lift
- The window drops down instead of staying open
- Rattling noises during windy weather
- Gaps or drafts around the window frame
- Windows that stick or jam when opening
- Locks or latches that no longer line up properly
Addressing these issues early can prevent further wear and keep your windows working reliably. Simple repairs such as balance replacement, hardware adjustments or new weather seals can often restore smooth operation and improve comfort inside the home.
