Aluminium windows are growing in popularity across the UK for many reasons not just because they look great in homes of all eras - from cottages and period renovations to ultra- modern builds, extensions, and home offices - but because they can add value to your property and save on running costs.

The over whelming benefits of aluminium windows include:

More Glass, Less Frame

Aluminium window frames, whether it’s a Bay, Casement, Fixed, Bi-folding, French or Gable style are slimmer than the chunkier frames of uPVC and timber, so more natural light enters your home.  They should also add value to your home and enhance its kerb appeal.

Unbeatable Thermal Efficiency

Aluminium windows have a thermal break to help keep your property stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  Double and triple glazing options are available.  You save money on your heating bills and keep the heat of the sun out during the summer.

Secure Locking & Smooth operation

The fitting of fit shoot-bolt locks, key-locking handles, glass beading on the inside can protect against intruders, and with it – for all window types – comes smooth, flawless, and effortless operation.

100% Recyclable

Aluminium is 100% recyclable and so at the end-of-life stage in a building the frames can be melted and put back into production with no loss of quality ready to be used again.

Resistant to the Elements

Aluminium window frames do not degrade or discolour over time, lasting over 30 years up to 40 plus years (compared to an average of 20 years for uPVC).  Neither will they warp, corrode, or flex over time.

Easy Maintenance

A quick clean of the frame every few months should keep your aluminium windows looking their best.

Customise your Windows

Aluminium window frames are widely available in any RAL colour, with a choice of attractive aluminium window handles, privacy or decorative glass and integrated blinds.  Smart automatic integrated options have now been introduced to the residential market.

Aluminium Window finishes

The most popular finish to aluminium windows is to powder coat the frames in your choice of colour, you can choice different colours for the outside and inside of each frame. Powder coating is a robust finish which will last for many years with minimal maintenance. Care must be taken when near to the coast however, as a marine grade of coating must be specified.  Composite aluminium windows offer a choice of customised features such as aluminium frames externally, with a timber finish on the inside.

Invest in your Home

Aluminium windows are not the cheapest window type available, but when it comes such an important element of your home, they provide enhanced quality, longevity, thermal efficiency, and attractive aesthetics to enhance and benefit your home.  Remember the proverbs “buy cheap, buy twice” and “good work ain’t cheap, cheap work ain’t good”.
