Wrexham: replacement aluminium windows
Aluminium windows are fabricated to order: profiles are cut, coated, assembled and glazed to the survey sizes. Lead times can be longer than for standard white uPVC, particularly for special colours or steel-look designs, and the expected timescale is confirmed in writing when you accept the quote.
Powder-coated aluminium does not need painting, but it does need cleaning. Wash frames with warm water and a mild detergent a few times a year, rinse, and avoid abrasive pads or solvents. Clean more often near the sea or busy roads, where salt and grime sit on the surface for longer.
Steel-look aluminium windows reproduce the slim frames and glazing bars of traditional metal windows while adding a thermal break and double glazing. They are often chosen to replace failing original steel windows in 1930s houses, though conservation areas and listed buildings may need consent for the change.
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.
Included as standard
- Sealed double or triple glazed units to specification

About Wrexham for this job
- Postcodes covered
- LL13, LL11, LL12 and the surrounding area, including Rhosllannerchrugog, Buckley and Hawarden
- Coast
- Wrexham is well inland, around 24 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Wrexham the midwinter sun reaches about 14° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.3 hours of daylight, rising to about 60° and 16.7 hours in midsummer. Slim aluminium frames let more daylight through the same opening. Large south or west-facing panes can overheat rooms, so solar-control glass may help, while north-facing rooms benefit from high light-transmission low-E glass that keeps heat in during short winter days.
- Access and setting
- 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.
- Rules in Wales
- In Wales, Approved Document N covers safety glazing: safety glass is needed in and around doors and in low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

In Wales, replacing a whole window or glazed external door is building work and is notified either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme or through the local authority's building control. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is treated as a repair.

Aluminium Windows in Wrexham: questions
How do I look after powder-coated aluminium windows?
Clean powder-coated aluminium windows with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent a few times a year, then rinse and dry. Avoid scouring pads, solvents and pressure washers close to the seals. Keep drainage slots clear and put a little light oil on hinges and locking points. Near the coast, more frequent washing removes salt deposits.
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.
Do aluminium windows get condensation on the frames?
Modern thermally broken aluminium windows are far less prone to frame condensation than older aluminium windows made without a thermal break. Condensation can still form on any window if a room is humid and poorly ventilated, so trickle vents, extractor fans and sensible heating still matter. Warm-edge spacer bars also help keep the edges of the glass warmer.
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.
