Aluminium vs PVCu windows

It’s a longstanding debate as to which is better, and for homeowners it can be a tough decision to make when considering the installation of new windows.

Unlike Bifolds, Sliding Doors and Roof Lanterns we believe PVCu is a viable option and so we do offer a comprehensive range of Aluminium and PVCu Windows in an extensive range of styles, colours and finishes, using some of the best manufacturers and systems within the UK.

Whatever your project or budget needs, we will have the right windows for you.

Have a look at our post on uPVC vs Aluminium windows if you are unsure which is right for you.

If you’re still struggling to decide whether you want PVCu or aluminium windows, why not go ahead and get quotes for both?

By talking to us we can discuss which is most suitable for your property and your needs.

Aluminium Windows

Our aluminium windows are manufactured using the ALUK Option profile.

This is available in both a 58mm and 70mm frame depth, and a range of aesthetic finishes including Ovolo, Chamfered, Heritage, Square and Tilt Before Turn (TBT).

All our windows are available with an internal or external glazing option with a double beaded option allowing for internal glazing without the use of dummy vents.

ALUK windows are available in a range of single or dual colours and are fitted with Fab & Fix furniture as standard.

PVCu Casement and
Tilt & Turn Windows

All of our PVCu windows are manufactured using the Rehau Total 70 system which comprises of a range of multi-chambered profiles that have been specifically designed to meet the needs of a range of different property types.

The Rio Flush Fit Window has been cleverly designed to incorporate the existing Total 70 Chamfered and Total 70 Sculptured outer frames, making survey and installation as simple as the existing Casement Range

PVCu Vertical Sliders / Sash Windows

Our PVCu vertical sliding or sash windows are manufactured using the Rehau profile. This profile includes all the traditional designs of a timber box sash window with the benefits and durability of PVCu.

All PVCu windows are available in a range of colours and are fitted with Fab & Fix furniture as standard.

French Doors

Many of our customers also need French doors or have an aperture too small for bifolds. The great news is we can offer French doors in the same material as aluminium slim bifolds, ideal for matching sliding or bifolding doors within the project or as a stand alone product. By having the ability to go up to 1200mm per sash you can really make a statement with a set of Aluminium French doors.

We can also supply more traditional French doors in either aluminium or PVCu.

Single Doors

Safe, secure and stylish Aluminium Residential Doors are tailor made to be versatile for a front or back door or even as an internal door, designed to fit seamlessly with your property. The slender aluminium profiles have been built to withstand not only the extreme elements, but also the test of time.

Aluminium doors are manufactured to the highest standard without a single compromise on strength, whilst being slimmer and more streamlined than traditional PVCu Doors.

Frames and panels are completely rigid to prevent warping, twisting and sticking whilst also being immune to rotting and require no more than an occasional wipe over.

Available in a range of colours to suit your requirements.

Colour Options

Available in any RAL or British Standard colour, Aluminium Profile Bifolding Doors are polyester powder-coated for durability to maintain a fresh appearance, year after year.

Stock Colours consist of Anthracite Grey, White and Black along with some options of dual colour e.g. Grey outside / white Inside and are considered cheaper in cost along and come with a quicker lead time.

Glazing

One of the driving factors for purchasing Bifold Doors is to have lovely big areas of glass, to bring light into your home.

If you are building a new extension, the obvious benefits of bifolding or even sliding doors will be as clear as the glass, your new extension is flooded with light.

If your extension also comprises a lantern roof, you will benefit even more.

Within our quote tool for Bifold Doors we have limited the choice to 1.2 toughened double glazing or integral blinds.

Glazing Options

Therefore what is the “best glass” for your bifolding doors will depend on how you choose to upgrade the already high specification units with the options available.

There is no ultimate best glass for bifolding doors as there are many factors that determine how your glass will perform.

If you would like more information about the glass options available for your bifolding doors, please call us, also do take a look at Glazing.

Integral Blinds

The solution to the above could well be integral blinds, stylish, modern and maintenance free.

Integral blinds in glass are a neat and stylish alternative to curtains, external blinds and other window dressings for your home or business.

Choose from Venetian or pleated blinds which fit perfectly inside the double-glazed unit, and means they won’t get damaged and will never need cleaning.

We offer Morley Glass, the UK’s leading supplier of integral blinds within specialist glazing.
