Aluminium Products

Slim sightlines. Bold colours. Unmatched strength. Aluminium systems deliver a level of design precision and longevity that UPVC simply can't match — for bi-folds, sliders, windows, and roof lanterns.

Why Choose Aluminium?

Slim Sightlines

Aluminium's strength allows far narrower frame sections than UPVC — so you get more glass and less frame, letting in significantly more light.

🌞

200+ RAL Colours

Powder-coated in any RAL or BS colour you choose — single colour, dual colour, or even a bespoke metallic finish for truly unique projects.

Virtually Maintenance-Free

Aluminium doesn't rust, warp, or need repainting. The powder coat finish is extremely durable — a wipe down is all that's needed.

Thermally Broken Frames

Modern aluminium systems use a polyamide thermal break to dramatically reduce heat conduction through the frame — A-rated performance is achievable.

We stock and supply aluminium systems from our Waleswood depot. Fast turnaround for trade customers and self-builders.

Bespoke Sizing

Aluminium systems are typically made to measure — send us your exact opening dimensions and we'll quote quickly and accurately.

Our Aluminium Range

Four product categories — all available in any RAL colour, with thermally broken profiles and a wide range of glass options.

Bi-fold Doors

Stack a whole wall of glass to one side. Available in 2 to 7 pane configurations with traffic door options — the definitive indoor/outdoor living product.

Sliding Doors

Smooth, effortless sliding on precision stainless rollers. Slimmer sightlines than UPVC patio doors — available up to very large spans in 2, 3, or 4 pane layouts.

Aluminium Windows

Casement, tilt & turn, and fixed light aluminium windows with slimmer sightlines than equivalent UPVC. Ideal for commercial projects, extensions, and contemporary new builds.

Roof Lanterns

A flat or low-pitch roof lantern floods a room with natural light from above. Aluminium's slim rafters maximise glazing area — available in any size and RAL colour.

Why Aluminium Outperforms UPVC

UPVC ALUMINIUM 70mm frame 35mm frame less glass more glass

Slim Sightlines = More Glass

Aluminium is around three times stronger than UPVC by weight, which means frame sections can be made much narrower while maintaining the same structural integrity. A typical aluminium bi-fold stile is 35–45mm wide; the UPVC equivalent is often 70mm or more.

The result is dramatically more glazing area, more natural light into your room, and a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic that many architects and designers specify by default.

  • Frame widths 35–55mm vs 65–80mm for UPVC
  • Up to 20% more glazing area in the same opening
  • Particularly noticeable on wide bi-fold and sliding door spans
POLYAMIDE THERMAL BREAK Aluminium outer Aluminium inner A

Thermally Broken for Warmth

Aluminium conducts heat far more readily than UPVC, so early aluminium windows were cold and prone to condensation. Modern systems solve this with a polyamide thermal break — a low-conductivity barrier bonded between the inner and outer aluminium sections.

The best thermally broken aluminium systems now achieve WER A ratings and U-values comparable to premium UPVC, without sacrificing the slim sightlines that make aluminium visually distinctive.

  • Polyamide thermal break as standard
  • WER A ratings achievable
  • No cold-bridging or condensation on frames
  • Meets current Building Regulations Part L

200+ RAL Colours

One of aluminium's greatest advantages over UPVC is colour choice. Where UPVC is limited to foil-wrapped finishes in a dozen or so shades, aluminium can be powder-coated in any RAL or BS colour — over 200 options as standard, plus custom and metallic finishes on request.

  • Any RAL or BS colour as standard
  • Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005) most popular
  • Dual colour: different inside and outside
  • Textured, satin, and metallic finishes available
  • Colour-matched hardware and trims
  • Bespoke colours to match your brand or scheme
