Shining Light on Aluminium Windows: Stylish, Strong, and Built to Last
Aluminium windows have seen a surge in popularity over recent years. Significant advances in thermal technology mean that aluminium windows now match the thermal performance of their uPVC counterparts, making them a great choice for those who are looking for both style and performance. Choosing the perfect windows for your home can be quite the task. Our aluminium window portfolio is made up of three different profile systems. In this article, we hope to summarise the differences and make things a little easier! So, let’s start at the beginning…
Why Aluminium?
Aluminium windows are a brilliant choice for any home, combining modern style with practicality. Their slim frames let in loads of natural light and give you stunning views, making your space feel brighter and more open. Aluminium is incredibly strong and durable, so it can handle larger window designs without any trouble, and it won’t warp or crack over time. They’re also a doddle to maintain – just a quick wipe now and then keeps them looking like new. With advanced thermal technology, they’re energy efficient too, keeping your home nice and cosy. And with a wide range of colours and finishes, you can customise aluminium windows to perfectly match your home’s style.
AluK Aluminium: Leading the Way in Innovation
We’re thrilled to install AluK aluminium windows, true pioneers in aluminium glazing. Designed and manufactured right here in the UK, AluK windows feature a polyamide thermal break for top-notch thermal efficiency, enhanced with double or triple glazing. Their sturdy yet slim frames work perfectly with brickwork or K-render, supporting larger panes of glass for slim sight lines, expansive views, and year-round natural light.
Aluminium is incredibly strong and durable, but AluK goes the extra mile with security. All their products are independently tested and meet the latest security standards, including PAS24:2014. Aluminium’s low-maintenance nature means a quick wipe with soapy water every few weeks keeps them looking new for years. Unlike timber, they won’t rot, warp, or crack and never need painting. Whether you’re after a stylish living space or a beautiful panoramic view, AluK aluminium windows promise years of enjoyment and hassle-free performance. Available in crisp white to Anthracite Grey, with an option to upgrade to any RAL colour for a bespoke finish, we love helping bring your vision to life.
Flush Aluminium: Elegance and Efficiency
Flush windows, also known as flush sash windows, have become increasingly popular over recent years. Their symmetrical look suits a wide range of properties, from traditional stone cottages to modern rendered homes. Our flush aluminium windows are manufactured using AluK profile, offering a clean, modern appearance that works beautifully with any property looking for a contemporary edge. Our flush windows are perfect for everything from new builds to city apartments and country cottages, offering top-tier security, weather resistance, and thermal performance. Finished to perfection, they combine a flush look with market-leading design features. Available as casement windows, shaped windows, bay and bow windows, and conservatories, our flush aluminium window system has been turning heads, with more and more homeowners choosing aluminium over uPVC.
Heritage Aluminium: Timeless Style and Modern Performance
Steel-look windows and doors have been trending for years, and we adore this aesthetic. Inspired by the traditional look of steel windows, originally developed by Essex ironmonger Francis Henry Crittall in 1884, our Heritage Aluminium windows offer ultra-slim sightlines and versatility, perfect for heritage buildings and conservation areas. From Victorian homes to modern new builds, the steel look adds depth to any architectural style.
Our Heritage Aluminium collection features incredibly slim sightlines, allowing plenty of natural light and uninterrupted views. Choose from large panes of clear glass, smaller individually glazed panes, or a surface-mounted aluminium bar. We prioritise year-round style and comfort for your home, and this product helps us to achieve just that. Available in black, white, and anthracite grey, with bespoke colour options, each finish delivers a stunning, clean, and contemporary look. Choose from a range of configurations to suit your home and personal taste, from fixed panes to top-hung and side-hung casements.
