Aluminium Windows
Aluminium is a popular choice for window manufacture as it is highly resistant to rust and corrosion and offers slim sightlines and a wider glass area. The premium range of aluminium windows are maintenance free and are made to last for many decades. Aluminium is a sustainable, endlessly recyclable and environmentally friendly material which can be finished in over 200 RAL colour options. The windows can be coloured differently inside and out and all aluminium products are painted in a polyester powder coat finish which is baked on to provide a durable and tough finish which will not flake or fade. The window range includes:
