Why Aluminium

Wikipedia...aluminium is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion (due to the phenomenon of passivation) and its low density. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other areas of transportation and building.

• Aluminium is very durable and highly resistant to corrosion caused by modern industrial pollutants and requires little long term maintenance.
• Strong and slim sightlines – making aluminium the ideal material to produce slim, elegant, traditional style windows particularly to replace old steel windows when fitted direct into stone mullions on period properties (link to stone mullion windows).
• Colour – aluminium can be easily painted any one of the 250 or so standard RAL and British standard paint finishes (link to colour chart). Single colour profiles or dual colour (different colour outside to inside) are readily available. Silver anodised and metallic finishes are also possible on our windows and doors. 
• Recyclability – aluminium is arguably the most sustainable building material in the world and is highly recyclable. The recycling process creates high quality aluminium which loses none of its physical properties of primary aluminium and also uses just 5% of the energy it takes to produce primary aluminium.
• Thermal properties – our main door and window systems are all available with a thermal break in the aluminium profiles. This polyamide thermal break achieves significantly improved thermal insulation and complies with the building regulations Part L with considerably reduced u values.
• Security – our door and window systems can accommodate state of the art shoot bolt and multipoint locking systems without compromising the slim sightlines of aluminium profiles.
