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.

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.
