ABOUT ADVANCED uPVC
Advanced uPVC Windows & Doors proudly manufacture high-quality, thermally efficient uPVC windows and doors in New Zealand. We service many regions across the lower North Island, from Taupō to Wellington, including Palmerston North, Whanganui, the Manawatu region, and the Kapiti Coast, delivering products designed to enhance comfort, energy efficiency, and everyday living.
Advanced uPVC Windows & Doors was founded in 2013 by Steve and Sadie Brudenall. With approximately 30 years of industry experience, Steve brought a wealth of knowledge in uPVC window and door manufacturing, product design, and technical innovation.
After making New Zealand their home in 2002, Steve and Sadie saw an opportunity to provide homeowners and builders with high-quality, locally manufactured uPVC windows and doors. Through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellence, they built a business known for quality craftsmanship, reliable service, and products designed to perform in New Zealand conditions.
In 2026, Steve and Sadie retired and passed the business on to Les Rackham and Anneka Barritt. Today, we are proud to continue the legacy they created, building on the strong foundations, specialist skills, and attention to detail that have always been at the heart of Advanced uPVC.
While the company has entered a new chapter, our values remain the same: delivering quality products, outstanding customer service, and tailored solutions for every project. We take pride in helping our customers create warmer, quieter, more energy-efficient homes with premium uPVC window and door systems manufactured right here in New Zealand.
Today, Advanced uPVC Windows & Doors proudly manufactures quality uPVC windows and doors in New Zealand for:
- New residential builds
- Renovation projects
- Complete window and door replacements
- Retrofit inserts for existing timber windows and doors
- Light commercial developments
Our focus remains on delivering energy-efficient, durable, low-maintenance, and beautifully crafted uPVC window and door solutions tailored to New Zealand homes and buildings.
