Aluminium windows for homes and businesses in Bedworth
Security on aluminium windows comes from multi-point locking, internally glazed beads, lockable handles and robust hinges. For easily accessible windows in new homes in England, Approved Document Q expects security to the PAS 24 standard, and specifying the same for ground-floor replacements is a sensible precaution.
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.
In England, a replacement window in an existing home should achieve a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better, or a Window Energy Rating of band B, under Approved Document L. Thermally broken aluminium with low-E double glazing can meet this; ask for the certified whole-window figure, not just the glass value.
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.
Included as standard
- Removal and disposal of the existing windows
- Sealed double or triple glazed units to specification
- Fitting, sealing and finishing the reveals neatly
- Written guarantee terms and advice on building regulations sign-off
About Bedworth for this job
- Postcodes covered
- CV12 and the surrounding area, including Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley
- Coast
- Bedworth is well inland, around 100 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Bedworth the midwinter sun reaches about 14° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.4 hours of daylight, rising to about 61° and 16.6 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 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.

Sashes sit level with the outer frame for a clean, timber-like look, often chosen for period-style or contemporary homes.

Aluminium Windows in Bedworth: questions
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.
Do I need permission to replace windows with aluminium?
In England, replacing windows on a house with ones of similar appearance usually does not need planning permission, but changing the material or style can matter. Flats and maisonettes lack permitted development rights for windows, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 directions can require consent. Building regulations apply to replacement windows across the UK, with different detail in each nation.
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.
