What images pop into your mind when you think of aluminium windows? Is it the council house windows of the fifties, galvanised metal that eventually bubbled and rusted, always streaming with water? The windows that everyone was happy to see the last of.
Progress in Window Design
PVC
Then the advent of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), the new product that became the ‘in’ thing. Never have to paint again, joy of joys!
However the yellowing plastic lost its appeal, deterioration set in and something more was needed. We’re familiar with PVC in the form of plastic garden furniture, the chairs that lose their colour and become brittle and break.
uPVC
Here came uPVC (unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) with the plastic removed to ensure the product lasted longer. Since its first appearance on the market the designs have come on in leaps and bounds. Now you can choose colours, woodgrains, one colour on the outside another finish on the inside, the choices seem endless.
Aluminium Windows
What was the story with aluminium windows and doors? Mainly used for commercial projects over the years, now there is an increased interest from homeowners and the industry has come up with the goods. You can choose from any RAL colour, a collection of well over a 1000 colours, as well as duel colour to co-ordinate the inside and out. The efficiency and life-span over takes other window choices with aluminium being able to stand up to anything our British weather can throw at it. No rusting, no rotting, peace of mind for years to come, what more could you ask? A difficult design? A beautiful view you want to see rather than the frames? Aluminium is the ideal material for creating strong yet slim designs to fit your lifestyle and your home. Choose to co-ordinate your windows with aluminium bi-fold doors that allow the garden to become another room.
