Any kind of aluminium window design will give you secure, energy-efficient window frames with exceptional aesthetics. However, there are many types available. For example, we supply and install aluminium window styles such as bay, casement, sash, tilt and turn or picture windows.

Whatever style you end up choosing, you get the following benefits from our installations:

  • Thermal efficiency: Our professional installations will guarantee energy efficiency in your home and help to reduce your fuel costs. A slimline aluminium window design will give you top thermal performance with minimal heat transfer inside and outside.

  • Products to suit most budgets: Our team can help narrow down products based on your budget. Aluminium framing is more expensive than UPVC, but we can help with clever ideas on window frames that use less metal and other cost-saving tips or tricks.

If you are not sure what type of aluminium window design will work for your home, we provide a specialist design and consultation service to make sure you come to the right decision. Or, if you are quite sure of what design you want, you can contact us for a fast, free and accurate quote.

What Are the Best Modern Aluminium Window Designs?

Aluminium fittings are something of a hybrid. A modern aluminium window might take the form of large sliding doors on a balcony, which provide excellent levels of natural light, or just a small bathroom window. The following are some of our more modern aluminium windows:

  • Tilt and turn windows: The modern functionality of tilt and turn aluminium windows makes them a great choice for modern buildings. With slim aluminium profiles that can be flush to the wall, they provide a very sleek, clean look, so they are a nice modern window style in any material. Tilt and turn windows also offer incredible convenience as you can clean them from indoors!
  • Bay windows: Bay windows can fit large or small bays and will offer excellent ventilation if you select top-hung opening mechanisms. Aluminium is ideal for both round and square bays, and you can fit as many windows as necessary to suit any size of frame space. The bay window style is also versatile, which is what makes them one of the best modern aluminium window designs.
  • Casement windows: Casement windows can be made very modern with aluminium materials, particularly when they feature flush aluminium profiles and a vibrant powder-coated colour option. This can make a bold contemporary building visually pop! Casement windows are great modern window frames for any budget too, as they use minimal materials. Casements will also make a fantastic modern corner window.

For alternative modern ideas for a large window opening or a patio space, you might consider fitting bifolding doors, which are excellent products to use as balcony windows in flats or as chic new floor-to-ceiling installations in a new build or refurbishment.

Traditional Aluminium Window Designs

Aluminium is a relatively modern material so it can be a challenge to find suitable traditional options, such as for period properties and protected buildings. Nonetheless, the following are some aluminium window designs that will make excellent options for traditional buildings:

  • Sash windows: The classic sliding sash will complement the design of a traditional building and provide a high-performance edge. Sliding sashes in aluminium will never rot, degrade or require as much cleaning as their timber alternatives. Sash windows may also be a requirement for planning, so aluminium can offer a nice trade-off.
  • Patterned glass windows: Patterned glass recreates the look of a traditional window and provides greater privacy in rooms like low-level bathrooms, which are common in many period properties. You can find a glass pattern to suit any frame or building type. Coloured glass is another option, which allows you to match the colours of your home.
  • Casement windows: As we have mentioned, casement windows are versatile. As a result, they can be great for traditional homes as well as modern ones. With a flush or lipped option, you can suit any type of period home including farmhouses or cottages. Casements add modern performance benefits with a more traditional look.

You can sensitively replace old, draughty and insecure windows in any traditional home, which gives you the same high-performance thermal breaks as a modern aluminium window design. Powder-coated RAL colour finishes can be matched to the timber or bricks of a building too.

FAQs and Useful Information

See below for some common questions about aluminium windows and our services:

Which colour is best for an aluminium window?

There is no ‘best’ colour per se. There is a lot of potential for variation in the powder-coated finishes of aluminium windows, so it depends on what your tastes and requirements are. For a modern aluminium window design, many people feel that black or anthracite grey is a desirable colour. Contrastingly, a white, brown, grey or even a green finish will help to create a traditional look that can blend into most types of older buildings.

Are aluminium windows efficient?

Yes. Although aluminium is a metal and therefore conducts heat, by including clever thermal breaks and rubber components in the frame heat transfer can be kept to a minimum. Alongside expert fitting, aluminium windows are highly efficient and mean you do not have to compromise on either aesthetics or performance.

Which is cheaper, UPVC or aluminium?

Aluminium windows are more expensive than the same design in UPVC. An aluminium version of any style costs more because there are higher material prices for the components and they are also more difficult to manufacture. Cost-saving measures, such as using window frame styles that have minimal metal and more glazing, can help to reduce the costs of a window installation and make the project more manageable.
