Eight Decades in Australian Homes
Follow us on our journey from 1946 to 2026 as we celebrate 80 years of innovation and manufacturing in Australia.
Our evolution has put our products in thousands of Australian homes and trusted by generations.
1946
Where It Began
Founded in Melbourne, Stegbar began manufacturing windows for the post-war housing boom, bringing quality and reliability to the Australian building industry from the outset.
1950s-1960s
Helping Shape the Australian Dream
As suburbs spread and Australia grew, Stegbar grew with them. Our windows and doors became synonymous with the aspirational family home across every state.

Expanding the door range
The introduction of the Governor Range marked another step in Stegbar’s expanding door offer, building on decades of product development across windows, doors and home design.

Opening homes in new ways
Cedar stacking doors joined the Stegbar range, followed by aluminium stacking doors later that year, helping create larger openings and stronger connections between indoor and outdoor living.
