What makes aluminium windows different from other types of windows?

The industrial trend remains one of the most sought-after interior styles and evokes a sense of minimalism and contemporary character. Evolving from Scandinavian design, property developers and architects have been using aluminium to achieve this sleek aesthetic for decades. Although, as the self-home renovation trend has boomed over the past few years, aluminium has also been the choice of materials for homeowners when replacing their windows. But, aside from the aesthetically pleasing benefit of aluminium windows, what differentiates aluminium windows from other types?…

1. Strength and durability

Aluminium is stronger than other types of windows, which allows them to have the desirable slimmer frames and large panes of glass without having to compromise on security. These slim sightlines will let more natural light flood into your rooms and create an airy, bright environment; whilst their robust and strong frames will protect your home from possible break-ins. Ideal for homeowners with scenic vistas, aluminium windows will let you enjoy the view all year round.

2 Environmentally friendly

Aluminium windows are extremely thermally efficient thanks to innovative thermal break technology. Not only will they save you money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint, but they can also be fully recycled when they are ready to be replaced! What differentiates aluminium from other materials is that aluminium is one of the most sustainable building materials available, with 75% of all aluminium ever produced still in use today!

3. Resistant to rot and corrosion

Aluminium windows are incredibly weatherproof and, unlike other materials, will not corrode, flake, or rust. Even in the worst of the British weather, aluminium windows will look as good as new with just a wipe down with a damp cloth! Perfect for coastal homes, aluminium windows (and doors) will not deteriorate due to salt corrosion and, with strong sea breezes over Clacton-on-Sea and Southend-on-Sea, are the perfect window solution!

Why install aluminium windows?

With a variety of styles to choose from, including casement and a range of colour effect and finishes, you will be able to match your aluminium windows to perfectly complement the character of your home. And, although aluminium windows are popular for their modern appearance, woodgrain effects can also be achieved to give your new aluminium windows an authentic timber look! Thanks to over 200 maintenance-free powder coatings, you are not just restricted to Anthracite Grey or black aluminium window frames either. A plethora of colours await, including tranquil Chartwell Green.
