Why Proxy Build uses Darley systems

Sydney-based Proxy Build specialises in high-end residential construction, incorporating Darley Aluminium window and door systems into many of its projects.

Owner John Sakr has used Darley systems for over a decade across duplexes, townhouses and custom homes, relying on their proven quality and the breadth of the range. “Darley Aluminium systems have been tried and tested in the business for many years,” he says. “They have proven quality and performance.”

Systems to match high-end finishes

Proxy Build recently completed a modern French Provincial-style duplex at Ryde, in Sydney's north-west, featuring Darley's commercial-grade window and door framings — chosen for their durability, functionality and aesthetic appeal.

CityView Commercial Awning Windows bring compression seals for waterproofing, acoustic comfort and energy efficiency; Bifold HarbourView Top Hung Doors open the ground floor to the outdoors; and KlassicView French Doors offer high water-pressure ratings with a built-in flyscreen groove — a natural fit for the provincial design.

“For residential projects like these, we want the strength and durability that commercial framing provides — it's about delivering long-term value for the homeowner,” John says.

A shared commitment to quality

John points to heavy-duty engineering, a comprehensive residential-and-commercial range, Australian ownership and compliance with Australian standards as the key advantages of Darley systems.

He also values that Darley is a family-owned business that prioritises communication and strong relationships — just as Proxy Build does. “It's not like dealing with a big corporation. The relationship is more personal. They're easy to deal with.”

Darley Aluminium systems complement our promise of high-quality finishes, elegant design, comfort and functionality in every project.
