Residential Aluminium & uPVC Windows and Doors

Choosing new windows and doors is about more than simply replacing existing products. The right system can improve your home's appearance, energy efficiency, security, comfort, and long-term value.  At Alu & Glass, we supply and install both premium aluminium systems and high-performance uPVC systems, allowing us to recommend the solution that best suits your property, lifestyle, budget, and design aspirations.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer when choosing between aluminium and uPVC. Some homeowners prioritise contemporary aesthetics, slim sightlines, and large glazed openings, making aluminium the ideal choice. Others are focused on maximising energy efficiency and value for money, where modern uPVC systems can offer an excellent solution. Many projects also combine both materials, using aluminium for feature doors and glazing while selecting uPVC for other areas of the property.

Our role is to help you understand the advantages of each system and choose the option that best aligns with your requirements, whether you're renovating a period property, extending your home, building a new house, replacing ageing windows and doors, or creating a modern open-plan living space.

For homeowners seeking the very best in design, performance, and longevity, aluminium windows and doors are widely regarded as the premium choice. Combining contemporary aesthetics with exceptional strength and durability, modern domestic aluminium systems are designed to enhance both the appearance and value of your home.

One of aluminium's greatest advantages is its strength. Unlike uPVC, aluminium can support larger panes of glass with much slimmer frames, creating clean sightlines, brighter living spaces, and uninterrupted views. This makes aluminium particularly popular for luxury home renovations, contemporary new-builds, architect-designed homes, extensions, bifold doors, and large sliding door installations.

Many homeowners choose aluminium not only for its appearance but also as a long-term investment. High-quality domestic aluminium systems offer outstanding durability, resisting warping, fading, and weather-related wear for decades with minimal maintenance. Their premium finish and modern styling can significantly enhance kerb appeal while complementing both traditional and contemporary properties.

A common misconception is that aluminium is less energy efficient than uPVC. Modern thermally broken aluminium systems are specifically engineered to achieve excellent thermal performance, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce heat loss throughout the year.

While aluminium typically represents a higher initial investment than uPVC, many homeowners see it as a worthwhile upgrade due to its superior aesthetics, strength, longevity, and ability to create larger glazed openings that transform living spaces.
