Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of using aluminium windows?
Aluminium windows offer several benefits, including A-rated energy efficiency with innovative thermal break technology, conforming to PAS 24 security specifications & Document Q performance benchmarks, and providing better strength to weight ratio than steel. They are also low-maintenance and designed to last for at least 45 years. In addition, they come in a variety of colours and styles, including classic casement windows, innovative tilt & turn windows, and bespoke frames with personal touches like Georgian bars, astragal bars, and leaded lights.
How long can I expect my aluminium windows to last?
Aluminium windows are durable and robust, with a life expectancy of around 45 years. They can withstand extreme weather conditions and are rot-resistant yet require minimal maintenance. You will only need to give them a wipe-down cleaning and perhaps an oiling.
What kind of hardware options are available for aluminium windows?
The Nottingham Window Company offers a wide range of stylish hardware options for their aluminium windows, including modern and heritage stylings, architectural inline locking handles, and heritage-inspired handles. There are also matching hinges and stays available. They are available in a variety of colours to suit your taste.
How customizable are aluminium windows?
Aluminium windows are highly customizable, with a limitless spectrum of RAL colours, metallic finishes, life-like woodgrain effects, and strengthening anodized finishes available. They can also be tailored exactly to your specifications, with various widths of polyamide thermal breaks to provide better insulation, minimizing sightlines and maximizing far-reaching views.
