About steel look aluminium windows in Omagh
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.
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 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.
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.

Working in Omagh
- Postcodes covered
- BT78 and the surrounding area, including Irvinestown, Strabane and Enniskillen
- Coast
- Omagh is well inland, around 47 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Omagh the midwinter sun reaches about 12° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.0 hours of daylight, rising to about 59° and 17.0 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
- Rural homes often mix old stone walls with modern extensions, and aluminium suits both when profiles are chosen carefully. Irregular openings are measured individually, and exposed sites benefit from systems with high weather ratings and well-sealed joints against driving rain.
- Rules in Northern Ireland
- Technical Booklet V covers safety glazing in Northern Ireland, including glass in and around doors and low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

Aluminium Windows in Omagh: 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.
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.
Can aluminium windows replace original steel windows?
Yes, steel-look aluminium windows are designed for this. They copy the slim frames and glazing bars of old metal windows while adding double glazing and a thermal break. Original steel frames are often set into the masonry, so removal can disturb render or plaster, and the survey checks this. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent first.
Are aluminium windows better than uPVC?
Neither is better for every home; they suit different priorities. Aluminium gives slimmer frames, larger glass areas, a hard-wearing powder-coated finish and a wide colour choice. uPVC usually costs less and has chunkier frames. Both can meet the energy standard for replacement windows when specified correctly, so compare the certified ratings, the look you want and the guide prices.
