PROS & CONS OF ALUMIMINIUM
Aluminium windows are a stylish, durable choice for homes and commercial properties. Lightweight yet strong, they resist corrosion, require minimal maintenance, and offer excellent insulation thanks to modern thermal break technology. While more expensive than uPVC, their long lifespan and sleek design make them a worthwhile investment. Some damage, such as dents or scratches, may require professional repair. Suitable for both modern and traditional buildings, aluminium windows combine practicality with long-term performance and a contemporary finish.

COLOURS & FINISHES
Natural aluminium has a sleek silver-grey finish that remains popular. Still, thanks to modern powder coating technology, aluminium windows are now available in an extensive palette of colours and textures. Many manufacturers offer standard RAL colours, available in a choice of matt, gloss, or textured finishes. You can even opt for dual-colour frames (different shades inside and out) to suit both interior décor and exterior styling. Powder coating involves applying a dry electrostatic powder and then baking it onto the frame for a smooth, durable, and highly weather-resistant finish.
SLIMLINE OPTIONS
Aluminium offers an ideal balance of strength and lightness, allowing for robust, slim, unobtrusive window frames that have a clean, minimalist look. The narrow sightlines help maximise natural light and provide clearer views, while the flush-fit design enhances the sleek aesthetic. This combination makes aluminium windows a popular choice for contemporary and traditional properties alike. The recent resurgence of Crittall-style windows has further increased demand, with large glazed panels and fine astragal bars delivering a refined, classical appearance that complements both modern and heritage interiors.

QUALITY ISSUES
The quality of aluminium windows can vary significantly between manufacturers. Premium suppliers use 'prime billets' or virgin aluminium for a cleaner, smoother finish, while lower-cost options may incorporate recycled metal, increasing the risk of pitting or rough joints. High-end manufacturers also polish their dies between production runs to prevent contamination and ensure consistent quality. Assembly standards also differ, making it essential to choose an experienced, accredited installer like Select Window Systems to provide not only a superior finish but also long-term reliability and performance for your aluminium windows.
Choosing an installer
When selecting a window installer, it’s important to check exactly what’s included in your quote. The final price should cover essentials like locks, handles, and other hardware. Be aware that lead times may vary depending on the manufacturer, particularly for bespoke sizes or finishes, with industry-standard delivery typically ranging from four to eight weeks. Just as crucial is choosing an installer properly approved to fit your new aluminium window. Reputable companies, such as Select Window Systems, are fully accredited by recognised bodies, ensuring adherence to professional standards and building regulations.
