Aluminium Windows Buying Made Simple With Klosen
Windows are responsible for providing buildings with light, warmth and beauty. Aluminium is the perfect material for windows, as it offers a multitude of benefits such as energy efficiency and sleek aesthetics, for both domestic and commercial properties. Are you considering choosing these windows for your property? You are not alone. In this guide, we will establish everything you need to know about aluminium windows, including colour and glazing options.
Choosing the Right Aluminium Window
Aluminium windows are the perfect option for creating a timeless and elegant feel to your home or building. Much like our aluminium doors, they are the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics, opening a window of opportunity for maximising light and efficiency. Just as each building has its own distinct architectural style and design, our extensive selection of aluminium windows is tailored to perfectly complement the unique character and needs of any property.
Heritage Windows
Ideal for producing an industrial look, aluminium heritage windows provide an effective alternative to steel frames. They are characterised by their slimline frames, creating a sophisticated look. Our range is fitted with a Polyamide thermal break which enables them to be extremely energy efficient.
Heritage windows also have incredible noise insulation levels and are wind resistant, keeping external stresses outside. Just as each structure is one-of-a-kind, our windows are tailored to ensure a seamless and sophisticated fit, showcasing the remarkable diversity that can be achieved through high-quality, customisable fenestration solutions.
Casement Windows
Offering a timeless and classic look, our aluminium casement windows are perfect for both contemporary and traditional properties. These are the most popular type of aluminium windows in the UK, available in both double and triple-glazed panels for extra insulation.
They are engineered with a flush-fitting technology, helping your property look refined. If you are seeking a minimalist and clean look, casement windows will transform the look of your home or building.
Tilt & Turn Windows
Aluminium tilt & turn windows offer a smart look that delivers on both style and substance. Similarly to our casement windows, they provide flush profiles that maximise natural light into your home, providing an airy and spacious feel. If you want a bespoke option for your property, these windows are made to measure, ensuring you get the perfect fit for your space. No matter the building’s style or the homeowner’s vision, our customisable tilt and turn windows provide the perfect fusion of form and function, elevating the beauty and performance of any space
Flush Windows
Flush windows offer a sleek, seamless aesthetic that can transform the exterior of any modern home. By eliminating the visible frame and sash, these windows create a flawless, uninterrupted surface that blends effortlessly into the building’s facade.
Designed for side-hung or top-hung opening-out styles, flush windows provide a clean, sophisticated look that is both visually appealing and highly functional. Our aluminium flush windows create a flawless look to your home or building that looks both inviting and contemporary.
Fixed Windows
There are an array of reasons why people choose aluminium fixed windows over uPVC and other types of frames. They are perfect for lighting up the dark corners of your home, increasing natural light and adding architectural interest. Often praised for their versatility, they can even be installed under your casement windows to create a lighter space in your building.
Thermal Break Windows
Thermal gaps are essential to maintaining high thermal efficiency. Furthermore, our thermal break aluminium windows are perfect for keeping the warm air in winter and the cool air in summer. Blending the efficiency of uPVC frames and the timeless appeal of an aluminium window, these windows use thermal break technology to keep the internal temperature inside, helping you reduce those energy bills.
These windows are also effective at blocking out external noises, giving you peace of mind when you want to relax at home or focus on your work in your home office..
Glazing Options
When choosing aluminium windows, you’ll be faced with the decision of whether to opt for double-glazed or triple-glazed models. This purely depends on your personal preferences, so we have broken down a few benefits and drawbacks of each glazing option.
Double Glazed Windows
One of the reasons that aluminium windows are aesthetically pleasing is due to their thin layer of glass. Furthermore, as the name suggests, double glazing units feature two panes of glass, while triple glazed windows are made up of three. If you are seeking a warmer room or more sunlight to fill your space, double-glazed windows are better at letting more heat and light in.
Double glazed units can also add value to your home, especially if they increase your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC.) However, it can also stop heat from escaping when the weather gets warmer.
Tripe Glazed Windows
Despite the fact that double-glazed windows are the industry standard, many people are starting to choose triple-glazed windows. This is mainly due to their thermal properties. The three panes of glass ensure that it is harder for heat to escape the home. It is also effective at reducing noise from travelling into the building, particularly useful for those living or working on a busy street.
However, they tend to cost more than double glazed units, nonetheless, the long-term energy-saving benefits may make it worth it. Also, triple glazing is not always as versatile as double-glazing, as the latter tends to come in a wider variety of styles.
Ultimately, choosing between these two glazing options comes down to your personal preferences. If designed from high-quality materials and installed by a professional company, both options are energy efficient and are great at preventing any warmth or cold air from escaping.
Why Choose Aluminium Windows?
There are many benefits to choosing aluminium windows for your property. They require minimal maintenance and are more durable than other window types. They are also incredibly versatile as they come in a range of colours thanks to their powder-coated features. The powder coating ensures that you don’t have to worry about sanding or repainting your windows.
Aluminium windows are the perfect combination of practicality and aesthetics, proving that style can have substance. Whether you are seeking a traditional look to your property or a modern visage, these windows have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate into any surroundings
Thermal Efficiency
Finally, aluminium windows are perfect for maintaining high thermal efficiency. The non-porous, heat-resistant properties of aluminium allow these windows to act as a formidable barrier against the elements, shielding the interior living spaces from the harsh impacts of wind, rain, and other extreme weather conditions.
This remarkable thermal performance not only keeps homes comfortable year-round but also translates to tangible cost savings on heating and cooling bills. Ultimately, the combination of robust security, superior insulation, and resilience to environmental stresses make aluminium windows a premier choice.
Colour Options
Homeowners are no longer confined to a one-size-fits-all aesthetic, but can instead choose from a vast spectrum of custom paint colours to perfectly complement the unique style and architecture of their property. Whether the home leans towards a sleek, modern look or carries the charming character of a heritage-style abode, there is sure to be an aluminium frame colour that seamlessly integrates.
Subdued earth tones like muted greys, greens, and browns can establish a calming, naturalistic vibe, while bolder hues like deep reds, blues, and blacks make a striking, statement-making impression. With so many possibilities, customers can effortlessly tailor their window and door frames to flawlessly suit the overall design of their home.
