Cleethorpes: steel look aluminium 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.
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.
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.
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.

- Coast
- Cleethorpes is about 1 km from the coast or a tidal estuary, so salt air and wind-driven rain are worth planning for. 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.
- Daylight and sun
- In Cleethorpes the midwinter sun reaches about 13° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.2 hours of daylight, rising to about 60° and 16.8 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 England
- 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 B covers escape windows. Where an existing window is an escape route, typically in first-floor bedrooms, its replacement should give at least the same escape opening as before.
Choosing your aluminium windows
Tilt and turn
Inward-opening sashes that tilt for secure ventilation or swing open for cleaning and escape, useful for flats and high floors.
Steel-look windows
Very slim frames with glazing bars that mimic traditional metal windows, adding thermal performance and double glazing to the classic look.
Dual-colour powder coat
A different colour inside and out, such as anthracite grey outside with white inside, from a wide range of RAL colours and textures.
Aluminium Windows in Cleethorpes: questions
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.
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.
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.
