Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows give your home a sleek, contemporary edge with slim, strong frames and large glass areas that flood rooms with light. Through Help 2 Buy Windows, you could get thermally broken, A-rated aluminium windows that look stunning, last for decades and keep your home warm and secure.
What are aluminium windows?
Aluminium windows use slim, strong metal frames that hold larger panes of glass than uPVC. Because aluminium is so strong, the frames can be made much thinner, which means more glass, more natural light and a sleek, minimalist look that has become the hallmark of modern homes, extensions and renovations.
Performance has come a long way too. Today's aluminium windows are built with a thermal break, an insulating barrier inside the frame that stops heat escaping through the metal. Combined with A-rated double or triple glazing, that gives you excellent energy efficiency to go with the contemporary good looks.
Aluminium is also one of the toughest, longest-lasting materials you can choose. The powder-coated finish resists fading, rust and corrosion, and the frames will not warp, rot or swell. The result is a virtually maintenance-free window that can last 30 years or more while still looking sharp.
Styles, colours and options
Every aluminium window is made to measure, so you can tailor the finish to suit your home.
- ✓ A huge range of colours, with powder-coated finishes including crisp white, on-trend anthracite grey, matt black, sage green and even dual colours, different shades inside and out.
- ✓ Authentic woodgrain finishes for homeowners who want a timber look with the strength and durability of aluminium.
- ✓ Slim sightlines and large glass areas, so you get maximum light and uninterrupted views from minimalist, contemporary frames.
- ✓ Glass options to suit the room, from obscure glass for privacy to acoustic glazing for noisy roads and solar-control glass to manage heat and glare.
- ✓ High-security hardware with multi-point locking and a choice of handle finish to match or contrast with the frame.
- ✓ Thermally broken, A-rated efficiency as standard, with warm-edge spacers and the option of triple glazing for the very best thermal performance.
