Why choose our aluminium windows

Classic aluminium flush casement windows

With flush lines to the exterior and a neat square shape
indoors, our aluminium flush casement windows are simple, elegant and understated. The frames are slim, allowing more light into a home than comparable sized PVC-U or timber frames, but built from robust aluminium sections, they’re strong enough to support large panes without the need for reinforcing. The result is pure class.

Opening panes can be top or side hung, and you can choose
almost any configuration. If symmetry is important, dummy sashes allow us to create equal sightlines for opening and non-opening panes.

These windows are designed to work perfectly with high-security hardware, lock systems and hinges
for your complete peace of mind. Choose the colours that best suit a property, handles in contrasting or matching colours and every detail will be made to your exact specification.

A fully flush aluminium casement window

The sleek fully-flush casement window offers the most streamlined look on the market with flush styling for both the interior and exterior. No angles, no overlaps, just pure clean shapes and ultra-thin frames that set our windows apart.

Hardware has been carefully selected. In addition to reliability and durability, every lock, stay, hinge and handle contributes to the high level of security. What’s more, all these practical qualities are delivered without compromising the remarkable lines.

Again, the configuration is up to you. Replicate the pattern of opening and fixed panes in your existing frames and enjoy improved light levels, better insulation and easier maintenance or throw caution to the wind and choose a radical pared-back style.

Fixed Frame Windows

Not every window needs to open, and there’s something very special about a window with a purpose that’s purely aesthetic. With our windows the frame doesn’t dominate. There’s more view, more light and more interest.

Both aluminium and UPVC windows have their merits. Aluminium offers durability and sleekness, while UPVC provides excellent insulation. The choice depends on your priorities.

Aluminium windows are more durable and low-maintenance compared to wood, which requires more upkeep. However, wood offers a classic aesthetic. It’s about balancing preferences and practicality.

Clean aluminium frames with soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Regular cleaning helps maintain their appearance.

Yes, aluminium windows can be painted, but it’s best done by professionals using specialised paints for lasting results.

Condensation is linked to humidity levels. Proper ventilation and using dehumidifiers can help reduce it. High-performance glazing can also minimize condensation.

Aluminium windows tend to be pricier than UPVC due to material and manufacturing costs, but they offer enhanced durability and aesthetics.

Yes, retrofitting double glazing to aluminium windows is possible and can improve energy efficiency.

Gentle cleaning with mild soapy water usually works. For tougher stains, consult a professional or the manufacturer for advice.

Aluminium is a conductor of heat, so it can feel colder to the touch. However, modern aluminium windows with thermal breaks and efficient glazing reduce heat transfer.

Aluminium doesn’t rust like iron or steel, but it can corrode in certain conditions. Proper finishing and regular maintenance prevent corrosion.
