Heritage windows are a popular choice for listed building or conservation area property renovations. They are designed to faithfully replicate the appearance of traditional Crittal steel windows and meet all current building regulations.
They are also a perfect solution for large scale replica-refurbishment projects where planning constraints may be an issue. The slim sightlines and attractive contours of Alitherm Heritage provide the ideal solution.
Energy Efficiency
If energy efficiency is a priority, then aluminium heritage windows are the ideal replacement for steel framed doors and windows. They’re a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for your home in Carmarthen, Cardiff, Swansea, Llanelli or anywhere else in Wales.
Current building regulations state that all new replacement windows in existing homes should offer an energy rating of Band B as a minimum and this is the benchmark for modern aluminium windows.
Aside from the benefits of energy efficiency, aluminium windows are also a great option for security and durability. They’re also easy to maintain and are resistant to rusting and discolouration.
A key advantage of aluminium is that they’re extremely robust and able to withstand all weather conditions without warping or rotting. This is why many homeowners choose them as a replacement for wood or uPVC. They’re also available in a range of different styles to suit your home’s aesthetic.
Durability
Aluminium is one of the most durable window frame materials on the market. Not only is it resistant to rust and corrosion, but it also has a much longer lifespan than other framing options, like steel and PVC-U.
Unlike wood and PVC-U, aluminium does not expand or contract in heat or cold, making it one of the most thermally efficient window frames around. This is great news for energy efficiency and your carbon footprint.
Our heritage windows in Andover & Salisbury are designed to be as strong and durable as they look. They feature market-leading locks, handles and hinges to help protect your home from intruders.
They come in a wide range of colours, so you can choose a design that suits your property and interior style. And with a powder coated finish by these machines, they will stand up to the weather. They are very easy to maintain too, with a quick clean every couple of months keeping them looking good.
Security
Aside from being strong, aluminium windows and doors are also extremely secure. They don’t flex, twist or expand like wood and PVC-U, meaning they’re virtually impossible to break through.
The strength of aluminium windows is an attractive selling point to homeowners, compared to uPVC and timber windows. In addition to that, aluminium is a highly durable material that won’t require any repainting or touchups over the years.
