Aluminium casement windows
The same flexible opening as a UPVC casement, with a much slimmer frame and more glass.
About aluminium casement windows
Aluminium is stronger than UPVC, so the frame can be far narrower while carrying the same weight of glass. On a large opening the difference is obvious — you see the view rather than the window.

Powder-coated in any RAL colour, and the finish holds up to Merseyside weather without needing anything doing to it.
Aluminium casements, fitted
Slim sightlines suit big openings — here they are on brick, stone and render.

Handle options
Every aluminium window and door comes with a locking handle as standard, in five finishes. Two upgrade styles are available on top of those.
Pear drop
A contemporary, modern finish.
Monkey tail
Traditional and decorative.
Integral blinds
Blinds sealed between the glass are the neatest way to get privacy and shade without anything hanging in front of the window. The blind sits inside the double glazed unit itself, so there is nothing to dust, nothing to catch, and no cords for children to reach.
Because the blind is sealed inside the glass, the only thing fitted to the window is the control — a slider on the frame, or a cord or winder. Those come in a range of finishes to match the window.
Integral blinds can be fitted to all our UPVC window styles — casement, flush casement, tilt & turn and sliding sash — as well as to bifold, patio and French doors, where a conventional blind gets in the way every time the door opens.
Common questions
How long does it take to fit a full house of windows?
It depends on the number and style, but as a general rule a whole house — typically eight to ten windows — is fitted in one to two days. We survey before the windows are made and manufacture every frame to the exact size of the existing opening, which keeps time on site down.
How secure will my new windows be?
Very. All opening windows have locking handles as standard, and every window is internally beaded — the trims holding the glass in are on the inside, so the glass can't be removed from outside to get into the property. Many of our products are Secured by Design accredited, the official police initiative for designing out crime, and we can supply an endorsed upgrade with extra security on top.
What is the energy rating on your windows?
Every window we supply is BFRC A-rated as standard — the highest rating a double glazed window can achieve. Ratings above that need triple glazing, which we can supply, though it costs considerably more than double.
Do you provide toughened glass?
Yes, toughened glazing comes as standard on all our glass units. A lot of firms fit standard double glazed units and charge extra for toughened.
What happens to my old windows?
We take them out and take them away. They go to recycling facilities where possible, and are disposed of properly where not.
Do I need to take my curtains and blinds down?
Yes please — curtains, blinds and anything on the sills need moving before we arrive so the fitters have clear access to the windows.
Will I need planning permission?
Not normally. Repairing, fitting or replacing windows and doors doesn't usually need permission unless the building is listed. If you're in a conservation area or another designated area, check with your local planning authority first.
What guarantees do you offer?
All our windows and doors come with a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover outlasts the invoice. Roofing and building work carries its own guarantee, and ProPERLA coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on top of ours.
Do you really do all of this yourselves?
Yes. Windows, doors, roofing, building work, electrics and coatings are all our own teams. That's the point of the business — one contract and one point of contact, rather than you co-ordinating five firms and absorbing the gaps between them.
How long does a full house of windows take?
It depends on the number and style, but as a rule a whole house of eight to ten windows is fitted in one to two days. We survey first and manufacture every frame to the exact size of the opening, which keeps time on site down.
