Cold-bridging and condensation
If the thermal break is compromised or the frame is fixed without proper isolation, cold transmits straight through and condensation forms on the internal reveal.

Smart, Aluk and Jack Aluminium systems, thermally broken profiles and any RAL colour you specify — maximum daylight, minimum frame, backed by a 10-year guarantee.

Aluminium windows are the specification behind almost every architect-led refurbishment and modern rear extension we work on. Thermally broken profiles combine slim frames, huge glass area, exceptional structural strength and any colour you want — a combination uPVC and timber simply can't match.
The right client is anyone doing a rear extension, glazed gable, ground-floor remodel or new-build where sightlines and daylight matter. Also the natural pairing with bi-folds, lanterns and sliding doors — same profile family, same colour, one coherent look across the elevation.
You need a proper installer because aluminium is unforgiving. Frames are heavier, tolerances are tighter, thermal breaks need to be preserved, and powder-coated finishes are ruined by careless handling. Our team is factory-trained on Smart, Aluk and Jack systems.
Aluminium is a premium spec — installed badly, that premium is wasted.
If the thermal break is compromised or the frame is fixed without proper isolation, cold transmits straight through and condensation forms on the internal reveal.
Powder coat is a finish, not paint. Once it's chipped or scratched in transit or install, it can't be fully repaired — only replaced.
Heavier frames must be packed and fixed correctly. Skip that and vents drop, gaskets don't seal, and the whole window feels loose within a season.
Choosing an entry-level residential system for a large commercial aperture leads to deflection and seal failure. System selection is part of the survey — we don't just quote the cheapest option.
We measure, discuss sightline requirements, colour, opening styles and how the windows sit with any adjacent aluminium doors, bi-folds or lanterns.
Itemised by system and elevation, so you can compare specification like-for-like against other quotes. Valid 30 days.
50% deposit on order. Manufactured in your specified RAL colour with correct thermal breaks and hardware. 4–6 week typical lead time.
Frames delivered protected, fitted level with correct packers, sealed inside and out, protective film removed on completion.
ASSURE notified, 10-year frame guarantee, 5-year glass guarantee, IBG cover. Balance settled on the day.
Slim frames mean substantially more glass area than an equivalent uPVC window. Rooms feel bigger and brighter.
Coherent look with bi-folds, sliders and lanterns — the whole rear elevation reads as one design decision.
Powder coat inside and out, matching or different. Anthracite grey, jet black, matt white and RAL-matched colours are all standard.
Aluminium doesn't warp, doesn't rot, and has the structural strength for large apertures uPVC can't safely span.
Modern polyamide thermal breaks give A-rated performance across our specified systems.
Independently underwritten guarantee — the paperwork is as premium as the frame.




Every aluminium job starts with system selection — the right profile for the aperture, the aspect and the neighbouring glazing.
Smart Systems, Aluk and Jack Aluminium — three of the UK's most respected aluminium profile suites, each with residential and commercial ranges.
Casement, tilt-and-turn, top-hung, side-hung and fixed picture units. Tilt-and-turn is especially popular upstairs — safer, easier to clean, wider egress.
Standard blacks, anthracites and whites, plus any RAL colour on request. Dual-colour (one colour outside, another inside) is common on modern extensions.
Argon-filled Low-E double glazing as standard, with solar-control, acoustic laminate and toughened options as required by aspect and Building Regs.
For commercial projects — offices, shopfronts and light industrial — we specify heavier commercial suites, curtain-wall integrations and PAS 24 hardware.
Our specialist installer team also handles aluminium structural curtain walling for commercial refurbishments — talk to us about the scope early.
For slim sightlines, larger apertures, architectural coherence with aluminium doors or lanterns, and premium longevity — yes. For a straight like-for-like replacement of small casement windows, uPVC often gives the better cost-per-benefit.
Modern polyamide-broken aluminium systems perform well and comfortably meet current Building Regs. The days of cold, condensation-prone aluminium frames are gone.
Any RAL colour. Standard finishes include anthracite grey (RAL 7016), jet black (RAL 9005) and matt white — dual-colour finishes available.
4–6 weeks from receipt of deposit, subject to colour and system availability.
Yes — including shopfronts and structural aluminium curtain walling. We survey and specify to project requirements.
10 years on the frame system and powder-coat finish, 5 years on the sealed glass units, IBG-backed.
Yes — matching profile family and RAL colour is a big reason clients choose aluminium in the first place.
Yes — ASSURE registration lets us self-certify, and we hand you the compliance certificate on completion.

A bi-fold door install is a substantial structural fit. We survey the aperture (including any structural opening work required), specify the correct system for the width and traffic loading, manufacture the door set to millimetre-accurate dimensions, and install it with the precision it needs to slide sweet and lock true.
Learn moreWe supply and install aluminium entrance doors, residential front doors, side doors and glazed rear doors as part of a wider aluminium package or as standalone replacements. Systems are Smart, Aluk or Jack Aluminium depending on aperture, spec and how the door sits with adjacent glazing.
Learn moreA roof lantern is a glazed pyramid or ridged structure fitted over a flat-roof aperture — usually on a rear extension — that transforms the amount of natural light entering the room below. We survey the aperture and structural opening, specify the correct lantern system for the size, supply and install the lantern, and finish flashings and internal reveals.
