Sunshine 3020
Sunshine sits in the City of Brimbank, twelve kilometres northwest of the CBD on the Sunbury railway line.
The suburb has changed faster than almost any inner-west pocket in the past decade, with apartment growth around the station, gentrification of the original mid-century housing stock, and a busy commercial strip along Hampshire Road that drives steady commercial film work.
Sunshine fit-outs split across three categories.
Apartment sliders that take vertical blinds or sheer curtains, mid-century brick veneer family homes that suit rollers and Roman blinds, and shopfront tenancies that need anti-graffiti, frosted privacy or security film along the busy retail strip.
Our services
What we install in Sunshine
Recent Sunshine jobs include a full Roman blind fit-out across a renovated 1960s brick veneer near McIntyre Road, with the owner choosing linen-look Romans in the front rooms and rollers in the bedrooms.
We also installed vertical blinds across the sliding doors of two apartments in a Hampshire Road development under separate landlord briefs, and ran anti-graffiti film on a retail tenancy on the main strip after a tagging incident damaged the original glazing.
A frosted privacy band on a hospitality fit-out lower frontage completed the recent commercial work.

Local knowledge
Sunshine up close
Sunshine housing stock
Sunshine housing is unusually layered for its size. The original residential stock is mid-century brick veneer family homes from the 1950s and 1960s on quarter-acre lots, mostly through the streets between the station and McIntyre Road.
A second band of 1970s and 1980s cream brick and rendered family homes fills out the central pocket.
The past fifteen years have brought significant apartment development around the station, with multi-storey developments running along Hampshire Road and continuing toward Sunshine Hospital.
Townhouse infill is common across the older streets where original blocks have been subdivided. Hampshire Road itself is a long active commercial strip with mixed-era shopfronts running from the station down to Anderson Road. The window mix reflects all of this.
Original timber-framed sash windows in the mid-century homes, aluminium sliders in the 1970s and 1980s stock, modern aluminium framing in the apartments, and large floor-to-ceiling commercial glazing along the strip.
Sun and climate
Sunshine is inland enough that maritime moderation has little effect on summer afternoons, but tree canopy through the older streets is mature and provides genuine softening on most residential blocks.
Apartments along Hampshire Road typically face directly onto open sky with no shading and run hot through the afternoon on west-facing units.
The commercial strip itself gets full unfiltered sun for most of the trading day, which is why heat rejection film is a regular request from shopkeepers.
The mid-century residential pockets behind the strip are usually well shaded by mature trees and the smaller original window sizes meant the rooms were never designed for big solar gain, so heat load is more manageable than in the newer estate suburbs.
Winter is moderate, with the apartments tending toward overheating from their own thermal mass and the older houses tending toward heat loss through single-glazed sashes that have done sixty years of duty.
What works in Sunshine
The Sunshine residential pattern is split by housing era. Mid-century homes take rollers and Roman blinds well because the original window sizes are smaller and the proportions suit a closer-fitting blind.
Plantation shutters work on the front rooms of some renovated mid-century homes where the owner has opened up the original window or added a bay.
Apartments along Hampshire Road suit either vertical blinds across the sliding balcony door or S-fold sheers on a ceiling track, with the choice usually driven by the rental versus owner-occupier distinction.
Verticals are quicker, cheaper, easier to repair and more common in rentals. Sheers look better but cost more and need a renter or landlord willing to pay for the upgrade. The commercial strip takes a different product mix entirely.
Anti-graffiti film on street-facing glass to protect against tagging and to allow easy replacement after damage, frosted privacy film on the lower band of shopfronts that face heavy pedestrian traffic, and decorative film on internal partitions of newer hospitality fit-outs.
Safety film also applies on any code-mandated panels in older commercial spaces being refurbished. Solar film for retail is a slower seller but worth the conversation on west-facing displays.
On the ground
Common questions in Sunshine
Yes. Sunshine is about 14 km from Fraser Rise by road and easily inside the standard 40 km radius. The free measure and written quote apply across the suburb.
Yes. Apartment work follows the same measure and quote process as residential housing. Building access and any owners corporation or strata coordination is handled in advance with the building manager if required. Most apartment work is a single-day install.
Yes. Anti-graffiti, decorative privacy, security and solar film are all standard commercial work for us along Hampshire Road and the adjacent commercial strips. After-hours installation is available where the shop is trading through the day.
Roman blinds in a linen or woven fabric suit the original window sizes and proportions of mid-century homes. Rollers work for the bedrooms and any modern window that has replaced the original. Plantation shutters work in the front rooms of larger renovated homes but read too modern in some original-form mid-century houses.
We help where we can but do not directly submit owners corporation paperwork. Most apartment buildings either allow standard blind installs without approval or have a simple email request process the resident handles themselves. We can provide the install specification and product details required.
