The name "FIN" represents "First in Newcastle," highlighting FIN Windows and Doors' pioneering role and longstanding presence in Newcastle's building industry for over fifty years. Dedicated to serving the Newcastle, Central Coast, and Hunter Valley regions, FIN Windows and Doors has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality window and door products, becoming a trusted name in the local community.
FIN & Capral aluminium
FIN's enduring success is largely attributed to its longstanding partnership with Capral Aluminium. FIN's commitment to sustainability is evident in its operations and product offerings. Their collaboration with Capral has allowed FIN to incorporate LocAl® lower-carbon aluminium into their products, aligning with their broader goal of minimising environmental impact and contributing to the global zero-carbon targets by 2050.
"We pride ourselves on manufacturing windows to the highest standard. We don't just fit the windows; we ensure they're crafted perfectly and then provide qualified carpenters to install them. This approach ensures our customers receive the best possible product and service," said Jeff Picton, Managing Director of FIN.
For over 20 years, FIN has depended on Capral to provide high-quality, Australian-made aluminium products central to their windows and doors. This collaboration began with FIN incorporating Capral's Genesis range, an architectural line that has since become the cornerstone of FIN's product lineup.
Capral Aluminium uses cutting R&D resources
Capral Aluminium designs and rigorously tests FIN's window and door systems to ensure they adhere to all relevant Australian standards. This collaboration provides Jeff and his team with access to cutting-edge R&D resources and systems that are meticulously tested to meet the specific needs of the Australian market.
"Capral has been instrumental in helping us maintain our high standards. All the aluminium we use is sourced from Capral, ensuring that our products are not only Australian-made but also meet the rigorous standards we set for ourselves," added Jeff.
Jeff and the FIN Windows team greatly appreciate the personal touch in their partnership with Capral, reflecting the value of strong business relationships. Jeff is particularly thankful for the exceptional service provided by his account manager, Ian, affectionately known as "Rocky." Ian's unwavering responsiveness and dedication make him an invaluable asset, always ready to address any issues, whether replacing damaged materials or expediting orders.
FIN Windows and Doors take immense pride in being an Australian-made company. All products are manufactured in-house using local materials supplied by Capral. This dedication to local production supports the Australian economy and ensures that every product leaving the FIN factory upholds the highest quality standards.
This dedication is also reflected in FIN's factory operations, which are supported by over 50 solar panels and primarily rely on battery-operated tools to cut energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. Although customers might not always explicitly recognise these sustainability efforts, FIN views them as crucial for all businesses and a response to the increasing focus on environmental responsibility in the manufacturing and construction sectors. By emphasising their commitment to lower-carbon production, FIN is establishing itself as a leader in sustainable manufacturing.
