Thinking of changing your wooden windows to aluminium? If your current window frames are wooden or plastic, you may want to consider aluminium window and door frames with double glazing for the following reasons.

• Durability- aluminium is strong and long-lasting and requires less maintenance than timber window frames
• Strength- aluminium frames are very strong and don’t warp which means you can use them for bigger windows than traditional materials
• Insulation- aluminium frames are watertight and airtight which means no draughts in your home and more energy efficiency
• Aesthetics- aluminium joinery offers a sleek profile and a modern look for your property, and you can choose from a range of powder coat colours to suit

When you decide to install double glazed replacement windows you will find it makes your house:

• Warmer in winter - double glazing improves heat retention making your home warmer during cold weather. This can have the added bonus of reducing your heating bills.
• Cooler in summer - double glazing helps to reduce solar heat gain, keeping the inside of your home cooler even when temperatures soar outside.
• Quieter - double glazing acts as a good insulator reducing noise which is great for homes near busy roads or airports.
• Safer - double glazing is thicker so it can be harder to break than normal windows.

Westview Aluminium can advise you on the best range of aluminium double glazed windows for your project and which options will meet your requirements.

Insert windows

This involves leaving the existing wooden window frame in your home and removing some or all of all the internal parts which is then replaced with an insert frame inside the existing external frame. This type of replacement is less invasive on your home and won't damage internal walls, architraves, sills or facings, existing blinds will still fit and the existing aesthetics of the home remain intact. It is particularly suitable for older style homes.

Full Replacement Windows

If your existing joinery isn’t suitable to be upgraded or you simply want a whole new look or functionality then a full window replacement is your best option. You will be able to select from our full range of profiles and configurations to enhance your living space.
