Double glazed aluminium windows

Double glazed aluminium windows give you slim, modern frames with two panes of glass. Frames with a thermal break stop heat escaping through the metal.

A common sign

“We want better windows, but we love the slim look of aluminium.”

You can have both. Thermally broken aluminium frames keep the look while performing much better than old aluminium windows.

About double glazed aluminium windows

Slim frames that keep the warmth in.

Standard aluminium frames let a lot of heat through. A thermally broken frame has an insulating strip inside it that cuts that heat flow. Paired with double glazing, it makes a big difference to how warm a window feels.

Aluminium is strong, so frames can be slimmer and openings larger. That makes it a common choice for big doors, wide windows and homes where the original look needs to be kept.

Ask this

Ask whether the frames are thermally broken. Double glazing in a standard aluminium frame performs well below the same glass in a thermally broken one.

Secondary glazing

A second pane fitted inside the window you already have. Far cheaper than replacement, and it works on heritage frames.

Retrofit double glazing

Double glazed glass fitted into the frames you already have. The frames stay and only the glass changes.

Not every glazing job is double glazing. Rotten frames, jammed sashes and doors that never sealed properly.
