How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

Aluminium Windows in Sydney: Enhancing Homes with Style and Efficiency

Published on Thursday, March 27, 2025

Aluminium Windows in Sydney: Enhancing Homes with Style and Efficiency

A closer look at how aluminium windows are transforming Sydney homes with durability, energy efficiency, and modern design.

In Sydney's dynamic architectural landscape, homeowners are increasingly turning to aluminium windows to elevate both the aesthetics and functionality of their residences. Known for their durability, energy efficiency, and modern appeal, aluminium windows have become a preferred choice for those seeking to enhance their living spaces.​

Durability and Low Maintenance

Aluminium's inherent strength allows windows to withstand Sydney's diverse weather conditions, from intense sun to coastal humidity. Unlike timber, which may warp or rot, aluminium remains stable and corrosion-resistant over time. This resilience translates to minimal maintenance; a simple periodic cleaning is typically sufficient to keep them in pristine condition. As noted by Stegbar, aluminium frames offer exceptional durability and strength, providing a highly secure structural base for homes. ​Stegbar

Energy Efficiency

Modern aluminium windows are designed with energy performance in mind. When paired with appropriate glazing, they can significantly reduce heat transfer, maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. This thermal efficiency not only enhances comfort but also contributes to lower energy bills. According to Sustainability Victoria, combining aluminium with timber in window frames can improve energy efficiency beyond that of thermally broken aluminium frames alone. ​Sustainability Victoria

Aesthetic Versatility

Aluminium windows offer a sleek, contemporary look that complements various architectural styles prevalent in Sydney. Available in a range of finishes and colours, they can be customised to suit individual design preferences, enhancing the visual appeal of both modern and traditional homes. The slim profiles of aluminium frames also allow for larger glass areas, maximising natural light and views. As highlighted by Select Windows, aluminium windows are renowned for their modern aesthetics and design flexibility, providing a minimalist look that enhances the overall appearance of a home. ​

Environmental Considerations

Aluminium is a sustainable material, being 100% recyclable without loss of quality. Opting for aluminium windows contributes to reducing the environmental footprint of a home renovation or construction project. Additionally, the longevity and energy efficiency of these windows further support eco-friendly building practices.​

Security Features

The robustness of aluminium frames enhances home security. When equipped with quality locking mechanisms, they provide a formidable barrier against potential intruders, offering homeowners peace of mind. Stegbar emphasises that aluminium framed windows and doors possess exceptional security credentials due to their durability and strength, offering a highly secure structural base to keep homes safe

Conclusion

Integrating aluminium windows into Sydney homes presents a harmonious blend of style, efficiency, and sustainability. Their adaptability to various designs and climates makes them a favoured choice among homeowners aiming to enhance their living spaces. For those considering such enhancements, exploring options like TKW aluminium windows sydney can provide valuable insights into available configurations and styles.​
