Our roots in the community run deep, with the business originally established in 1994 by Brian and Joan McLeod as Hylight Aluminium. In 2010, we expanded our reach and rebranded to South Otago Windows & Doors Ltd, better reflecting our extended service area across the Otago and Southland regions.
With over 30 years of experience in fabricating and installing aluminium joinery, we bring a wealth of expertise to every project. Whether it's for residential homes or commercial developments, our team is dedicated to providing high-quality solutions tailored to your needs.
We are also a proud member of the Window Association of New Zealand (WANZ), the national trade organisation for aluminium joinery. This affiliation underscores our commitment to industry best practices, quality standards, and continuous improvement, ensuring you receive the very best in products and service.
Directors
Laurence and Paula McLeod took over the business in 2018 and continue to ensure the production and quality of your new aluminium joinery is up to spec.
Laurence has several years operations and quality experience in both the civil contracting and production processing industries. This has helped in stream lining our production processes.
