Aluminium Door Frames for ultimate durability

Space rockets use aluminium so it has to be tough! Aluminium is used in aircraft because of its tensile strength, low density corrosion resistance, light weight and design flexibility.It also offers high resistance to vandalism and fire damage, is non-magnetic and non sparking.

Aluminium windows have been installed for over 100 years without need for replacement due to corrosion. Aluminium's resistance to corrosion is due to the layer of aluminium oxide that forms when the material is first exposed to air, effectively preventing further oxidization.

Energy efficiency

The focus on building energy efficient homes has resulted in increased use of glass and aluminium in new homes, extensions and renovations.Aluminium is very strong and glazed units can now boast excellent U values, so glass walls and bifold doors are very suitable from the practical and aesthetic point of view.They allow superb views of the outdoors, excellent access and ventilation, and low heat exchange when closed.

Window Energy Rating - WER

Our aluminium products feature thermally broken profiles which, with the correct glass fitted, ensures that our products achieve excellent weather and thermal ratings, meeting or exceeding all relevant building regulations.

Heritage Areas and Listed Buildings

Many local authorities specify aluminium to replace timber and steel windows and doors because it can be used in a variety of styles and can help to retain the architectural heritage of a building, be it a sixties apartment block or a listed building.
