Premium Aluminium Windows for Performance & Aesthetics in Catford

In theory yes but we would not advise it as the best look will come from the original finish. Our windows and doors are powder coated, which creates a very hard and resilient finish, which should easily last for 20 years or more.

Aluminium tends to be stronger than UPVC, which means that the frame of an aluminium window or door can have a slimmer profile and larger glass surface compared to its UPVC equivalent. However, aluminium conducts heat and cold and so is not as thermally efficient as wood or UPVC, which are far better at reducing temperature transfer through the frame.

Although aluminium frame windows are strong and very attractive, the material has a weakness in regards to conductivity. We use our years of experience to reduce this problem. An aluminium window are engineered with a polyamide thermal break (to reduce heat transfer), a warm spacer bar between the panes, and Low-E glass fitted as standard.

If you live in a listed property, when replacing any window or door, you first have to get consent from your local authority. There will be regulations stipulated to what materials i.e. timber frames and/or sash style, etc. Usually the stipulation is replacing like-for-like. There are a number of aluminium frame windows that can be made to match suitable properties. But the first step is to check with your local authority.

Unfortunately not. These windows have evolved over recent years, providing stylish and sleek designs. If your property is particularly cold or susceptible to harsh weather conditions, then we would recommend installing triple glazing on UPVC windows.
