Aluminium Windows in Cumbria

Aluminium windows offer many fantastic benefits. They come with Teflon-coated gaskets that repel dirt, ensuring cleanliness and low maintenance. Options for both double and triple glazing are available, enhancing thermal efficiency and sound insulation. A standard 60-micron paint finish guarantees durability and longevity, making aluminium windows a robust and practical choice for any home.

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want a modern, “slimline” look and a window that lasts a lifetime, aluminium wins. If you are on a strict budget, uPVC remains a highly efficient, cost-effective alternative. If you are still unsure, contact us today and our expert team will help you decide.

Aluminium windows are incredibly robust, with an average lifespan of 45 to 60 years. Unlike timber, they don’t need painting, and unlike uPVC, they don’t expand or contract significantly with temperature changes. Their powder-coated finish ensures the color stays vibrant for decades. With basic maintenance, such as keeping the tracks clean and oiling the hinges, they are likely the last windows you will ever need to buy for your home.

Aluminium is one of the most secure materials available for home improvement. Because the metal is naturally rigid and strong, the frames are incredibly difficult to bend, warp, or force open compared to wood or plastic. When combined with modernmulti-point locking systems and toughened glass, aluminium windows provide a formidable barrier against intruders.

Yes. Modern aluminium windows feature a polyamide thermal break, which is a plastic barrier between the inner and outer frames that stops heat from escaping. When paired with high-performance double or triple glazing, they easily meet and exceed current building regulations for thermal efficiency, helping to keep your energy bills low.

Historically, old aluminium frames were prone to condensation because they became cold. However, modern thermally-broken frames eliminate this issue. By separating the external metal from the internal metal, the interior frame stays at a temperature similar to your room, preventing moisture from forming.

They are remarkably low-maintenance. To keep them looking new, simply:

• Wipe the frames down with warm soapy water every 3–6 months.
• Clear any grit or debris from the sliding tracks.
• Apply a light silicone spray to the locks and hinges once a year.

Absolutely. Aluminium windows are finished with a powder coating available in hundreds of RAL colours. Whether you want a trendy Anthracite Grey, a classic Black, or even a wood-grain effect, the finish is baked on to be scratch-resistant and fade-proof. Speak to our team to find out more.
