Aluminium Windows

We’ve known for decades that aluminium is a remarkable material. It’s plentiful, strong, corrosion resistant and 100 per cent recyclable. It’s used for everything from soft drinks cans to aircraft manufacture and is now the material of choice for windows and doors.

In the 1970s and 1980s, early generations of aluminium glazing appeared on the market. Frankly, those windows and doors are best forgotten. The styling dated quickly, and insulation was poor. It’s no wonder those who had rushed to replace their old timber frames went looking for an alternative and chose PVC-U.

But in the intervening years, aluminium systems for glazing improved beyond recognition. Now aluminium sections are purpose made. They incorporate the latest thermal break technology. They’re enhanced with tough, lasting, powder coated finishes. They’re designed to keep the weather and intruders at bay, but perhaps the biggest advantage comes from their strength.

Aluminium’s inherent strength allows windows and doors to be made with super-slim frames. And when there’s less frame, there’s more glass, more light and better views. Another benefit is that frames can be larger, without the need for expensive reinforcing. That’s why aluminium is perfect for today’s architecture and its wide expanses of glass. It’s simply ideal when there’s a large gap to span.

Aluminium frames are long-term performers. The material is resilient, durable and will last for decades without the fuss of constant maintenance. And if, eventually, the frames need to be replaced, the aluminium can be recycled. All things considered there’s nothing to beat aluminium for windows and doors
