Sliding Aluminium windows
These come in 3 styles as Vertical, Horizontal and Folding Sliders….
- Vertical – These move up or down, creating a spacious effect and providing flexible top or bottom openings. Ideal for ventilation without protruding panes, so ideal for small and large spaces, including kitchen serving hatches.
- Horizontal – Opening open side-to-side, and also offering a spacious feel, these are perfect for areas needing extra ventilation without obstructive panes. Suitable for spaces where inwards or outwards opening isn’t feasible.
- Folding – These are durable, secure, and weatherproof and available in various colours, complementing both interior and exterior designs. Folding windows also offer smooth, quiet operation and are known for their performance and reliability.
Hung Aluminium windows
These come in 2 styles – as Top Hung or Side hung. Both of these styles of hung windows are incredibly popular and feature single-glazed safety glass, with double- glazing as an optional extra. They are both designed to accommodate burglar bars and have friction stays to keep them open in any position.
- Top hung – open from the bottom out, directing rainwater away when left open and projecting sashes allow for easy cleaning from the inside. Effective seals ensure the windows are draft-free and watertight.
- Side hung – open from the side, providing excellent ventilation and easy access for cleaning. Designed for durability, they include effective seals to ensure they are draft-free and watertight.
Fixed panel aluminium windows
These are an excellent choice for those seeking energy efficiency, low maintenance, and expansive views. Ideal for spaces where ventilation isn’t required, fixed panel windows allow for maximum natural light and are available in a variety of designs and sizes. They are perfect for both residential and shopfront applications.
