Replacement aluminium windows across Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

Aluminium is strong enough to hold large, heavy glass units in narrow frames, so sightlines are slimmer than uPVC of the same size. That means more glass and more daylight from the same opening, which suits modern extensions, wide picture windows and slim replacements for old steel windows.

The price of aluminium windows depends on the size and number of frames, the profile system, opening sashes, colour and finish, glass specification and access. Dual colours, special finishes, glazing bars and triple glazing add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges, and the written quote fixes your figure.

Aluminium frames are usually finished with polyester powder coating, baked on at the factory in a choice of RAL colours and in matt, satin or textured finishes. Dual-colour frames are possible, such as anthracite grey outside and white inside, so the windows can suit both the street and the room.

Modern aluminium window frames contain a thermal break: strips of low-conductivity material, usually polyamide, that separate the inner and outer aluminium. Without it, heat passes straight through the metal. Older aluminium windows made without thermal breaks are a common cause of cold frames and streaming condensation.

What applies in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

Section 4 (Safety) of the Scottish Technical Handbooks covers glazing that people could collide with, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, where safety glass is needed.

Section 3 of the Scottish Technical Handbooks covers ventilation, so replacement windows should keep adequate trickle or background ventilation.

Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. Salt air attacks metal finishes, so aluminium windows near the coast need a coating and pretreatment suited to marine exposure, stainless or protected hardware, and more frequent washing. Check that the coating terms allow for a coastal site before ordering.

Large aluminium units are heavy, so city jobs need planned unloading, parking and sometimes lifting gear or extra hands for upper floors. Flats need freeholder consent and planning permission, and conservation areas often control frame colour and glazing bar patterns.

Aluminium Windows in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire: questions

What colours can aluminium windows be?

Aluminium windows can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour, in matt, satin, gloss or textured finishes, and many systems offer a different colour on each side. Anthracite grey, black and white are common choices, but heritage greens, creams and bronze tones are available too. Special colours can extend the manufacturing lead time, which is confirmed with the quote.

How much do aluminium windows cost?

The cost of aluminium windows depends on the number and size of windows, the profile system, how many sashes open, the colour and finish, the glass and the access. They generally cost more than equivalent uPVC because of the material and factory coating. See the guide prices for typical ranges; the written quote fixes the price for your exact specification.

What guarantee do aluminium windows come with?

Manufacturer guarantees apply to the frames, powder coating, hardware and sealed units, and the terms are confirmed in writing. Coating cover often depends on the site environment and on regular cleaning, so read the conditions. Guarantee terms for the installation are set out in writing with your quote, before you agree to go ahead.

How long does it take to install aluminium windows?

Most single windows are fitted within a day, and a typical house takes a few days on site depending on the number of windows and the access. The longer part is manufacturing, because frames are cut, coated and glazed to the survey sizes. The expected lead time is confirmed in writing when you accept the quote.
