Replacement aluminium windows for homes and businesses in Hampshire
Upper-floor windows may need to work as escape routes. In England, Approved Document B guidance for an escape window is an unobstructed openable area of at least 0.33 m², at least 450mm high and 450mm wide, and no more than 1100mm from floor to the bottom of the opening.
Large aluminium windows that reach low down, such as floor-to-ceiling glazing, need safety glass. In England, Approved Document K treats glazing within 800mm of the floor as a critical location, so those panes are usually toughened or laminated and permanently marked to show their safety classification.
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.

What applies in Hampshire
Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.
Approved Document Q applies to new homes in England, where doors and windows are expected to meet PAS 24 or an equivalent standard. It does not apply to replacements in existing homes, but PAS 24 products are still a sensible choice.
Hampshire 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.

Choosing your aluminium windows
Glass upgrades
Triple glazing, laminated acoustic glass, solar-control coatings or obscure glass, chosen per window to suit the room and elevation.
Steel-look windows
Very slim frames with glazing bars that mimic traditional metal windows, adding thermal performance and double glazing to the classic look.
Tilt and turn
Inward-opening sashes that tilt for secure ventilation or swing open for cleaning and escape, useful for flats and high floors.
Flush casement
Sashes sit level with the outer frame for a clean, timber-like look, often chosen for period-style or contemporary homes.
Aluminium Windows in Hampshire: questions
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.
Are aluminium windows secure?
Aluminium windows can be very secure, because the metal is strong and the frames carry multi-point locks, internal glazing beads and lockable handles. For easily accessible windows in new homes in England, Approved Document Q expects PAS 24 security. Asking for windows tested to that standard is a good benchmark when replacing ground-floor windows in an existing home.
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.
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.
