Your Comprehensive Aluminium Windows and Doors Buyer’s Guide

Windows and doors – a property would be pretty soulless without them. But you don’t just want them to provide views and a way in and out of your home. You want your home to be warm in winter and cool in summer, all while expanding the views and natural light.

If you have the budget, it’s worth broadening your horizons beyond the standard uPVC or wooden frame option. Why? Advancements in design mean that there has never been a better time to give your facade a facelift.

In this guide, we’re looking at the best-selling designs we supply and how you can achieve the upgrade to your current home or new build that you’ve been dreaming of.

Why is aluminium better?

Before we showcase the available windows and doors, let’s explore why aluminium is considered the best material for window frames:

Strength and durability: Aluminium window frames are incredibly strong and durable. With aluminium, a little can go a long way when it comes to strength. Their life expectancy is around 40 years without any sign of wear and tear if properly maintained.

Slim profile and design versatility: A slimline profile provides unobstructed views and a modern aesthetic. They also offer design versatility, making them a popular choice for modern and contemporary properties.

Low maintenance and longevity: Low-maintenance and long-lasting, they have a longer lifespan than other materials and are recyclable, making them an eco-friendly option.

Resistance to corrosion: Aluminium is resistant to rust and corrosion. This makes them a perfect choice for properties near the sea or those exposed to extreme weather conditions. The frames can be further protected with coatings to enhance their longevity.

Strength and eco-friendliness: Aluminium is the strongest material used to manufacture window frames, and it is also an eco-friendlier option as it can be recycled.

What type of window or door is best for you?

We offer a variety of brands and systems that offer premium designs with excellent insulation. As well as supplying a wide range of aluminium windows, Cortizo also supplies elegant sliding and bi-fold doors.

For front doors, Indupanel creates contemporary, secure designs that offer something a little bit different.

Case study – Grand Designs

Cortizo aluminium windows and doors even made it onto the much-loved home architecture TV series, Grand Designs.

The project was based in South Lincolnshire. A couple-team wanted a sleek, contemporary feel to their Dutch barn house build project.

They wanted to invest in the best insulated windows and doors and opted for the Cortizo casement window engineered with high-quality aluminium.
