Are aluminium windows worth it?

Aluminium windows are an excellent alternative to uPVC and timber windows. Although they may be slightly more expensive than uPVC, in the long run their range of features and benefits far outweigh any initial financial outlay. Indeed, when you consider that aluminium windows have a far longer life expectancy than other window materials, they are actually the most cost-effective option over their functional life.

Aluminium windows for the best in customisation

Aluminium is an inherently malleable material. This means it can be formed into almost any shape imaginable to create unique windows for more unusual architectural designs. Aluminium is also an inherently strong material. With aluminium windows, their frames can support heavier glass panes than their uPVC and timber counterparts allowing you to create large, oversized windows, perfect for commercial glazing projects.

When you want to create a unique visual aesthetic for your glazing project, aluminium windows are an excellent choice. At Techniglaze, all our aluminium windows can be powder coated in any of over 200 RAL colours. The powder coating process creates a durable and low maintenance finish which unlike painted timber will never need to be sanded down and repainted, saving both time and money.

Aluminium windows for the most sustainable choice

Aluminium is a 100% recyclable material. At the end of its use, an aluminium window frame can be melted down and reformed without losing any of its material quality. The process of extracting the raw material Bauxite which is used to produce aluminium can be carried out with limited environmental impact. It is also an extremely abundant material further increasing the sustainability of aluminium windows.

In terms of thermal performance, reducing heat loss is an essential part of improving sustainability by decreasing heating associated carbon emissions. To ensure that our aluminium windows achieve stringent industry standards for thermal performance, all our aluminium windows feature innovative polyamide thermal break technology. This helps to reduce heat loss, improve insulation, and enhance energy efficiency.

Our latest reviews

Ali & Fi

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.

Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.

Mary

We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.

Roy Robinson

I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.

Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.

These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.

I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
