Aluminium windows, crafted from a robust and lightweight metal, are a popular choice for their unique blend of strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. These windows are manufactured through an extrusion process, shaping the aluminium into frames that are resistant to rust, corrosion, and warping. Key features include superior insulation due to a thermal barrier within the frame, minimal maintenance requirements, and a sleek, modern look that can be tailored to match any architectural style.
Acemark Glazing offers a variety of aluminium window types, including casement, sash, tilt and turn, and sliding windows, catering to diverse needs and preferences. When compared to other materials like wood or uPVC, aluminium windows may have a higher initial cost but their longevity and low upkeep make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. Their strength allows for larger panes of glass, maximising natural light and providing unobstructed views, enhancing the overall design of your property.
Benefits of Installing Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows are a superior choice for homeowners, property developers, and architects due to their numerous benefits. They offer unparalleled energy efficiency, thanks to their thermal barrier that minimises heat transfer, thus maintaining optimal indoor temperatures. This feature not only reduces energy consumption but also contributes to lower utility bills, making them a cost-effective solution for both residential and commercial properties.
In addition to their energy-saving benefits, aluminium windows significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of any property. With a sleek and modern design, they add a touch of elegance to the architectural style. Their slim frames maximise the glass area, providing unobstructed views and allowing natural light to flood your spaces. This creates a sense of openness and spaciousness, enhancing the overall value of your property.
Moreover, aluminium windows are available in a wide range of styles and over 200 colours, offering complete customization to complement any design aesthetic. Whether you prefer a bold and vibrant look or a more subtle and classic style, aluminium windows can be tailored to match your vision perfectly.
Cost and Energy Efficiency of Aluminium Windows
The cost of aluminium windows supplied by Acemark Glazing is determined by several factors such as size, style, and specific features. Additionally, the type of glazing, frame, and hardware used also contribute to the overall price. While aluminium windows may have a higher upfront cost compared to other materials, their durability and low maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective investment in the long run.
Our aluminium windows boast a Grade A energy rating, the highest achievable. This is made possible through the incorporation of a thermal barrier within the frame, effectively separating warm and cold air, ensuring optimal insulation and temperature regulation within your property. Furthermore, our frames feature a unique polyamide thermal break, enhancing insulation by retaining heat and preventing cold air intrusion.
Investing in our aluminium windows can lead to significant energy cost savings. The superior insulation provided by the thermal barrier and polyamide thermal break reduces the amount of energy required to heat your home. By keeping warm air inside and cold air outside, our windows minimise heat loss and prevent draughts, resulting in lower energy consumption.
Durability of Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows from Acemark Glazing outshine other materials like wood or uPVC in terms of durability. They maintain their structural integrity for up to 30 years, even in harsh environments such as coastal areas, where other materials may succumb to corrosion. Maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free, requiring only an occasional wipe down of the frames with a damp cloth. This contrasts with the regular painting or staining needed for wood, or the potential for uPVC to fade or discolour over time. We stand by the quality of our products, offering a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all our aluminium windows, covering any manufacturing defects. For added assurance, we also provide extended warranties, including a 20-year warranty on double glazing and a 25-year warranty on triple glazing. These options demonstrate our commitment to durability and long-lasting performance.

In terms of design flexibility, our aluminium windows can be crafted into various styles, including casement, sliding, tilt and turn, and dual turn windows. This versatility allows you to choose the style that best suits your property’s architectural design and functional needs.
For a unique touch, our aluminium windows can be shaped to fit arched or round openings, creating a distinctive look.
Installation Process of Aluminium Windows
The installation of aluminium windows is a meticulous process that Acemark Glazing has mastered to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for homeowners, property developers, and architects. We begin with precise measurements of the window opening, ensuring a perfect fit for your new aluminium windows. Our team then prepares the opening by removing any existing frames and thoroughly cleaning the area. The aluminium window frame is carefully fitted into the opening, ensuring it is level and plumb. We secure the frame to the opening for long-lasting durability, able to withstand external pressures. The glazing is professionally fitted into the window frame, providing a secure and watertight seal, enhancing insulation and preventing potential leaks. Finally, window handles and locks are securely fitted, ensuring functionality and security. Our attention to detail, use of advanced techniques, and commitment to quality ensure a seamless installation process, transforming your space with our top-notch aluminium windows.
Security Features of Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows from Acemark Glazing are designed with top-notch security features to ensure the utmost safety of your property. One of the key features is the multipoint locking system. This advanced mechanism provides multiple locking points along the frame, making it extremely difficult for intruders to gain access. Additionally, our windows are equipped with internal beading. This prevents the removal of the glass from the outside, further deterring potential intruders.
The strength of aluminium allows for larger windows without compromising security. This means you can enjoy unobstructed views and ample natural light, while still maintaining a secure environment. Furthermore, our aluminium windows contribute to energy efficiency. The thermal barrier within the frame helps maintain indoor temperatures, making your property less attractive to burglars who often target homes with poor energy efficiency.
In essence, Acemark Glazing’s aluminium windows offer a comprehensive security solution, integrating robust construction, advanced locking systems, and energy efficiency to enhance the overall security of your property.
Suitability of Aluminium Windows for Different Climates
Aluminium windows are an excellent choice for any climate, thanks to their robust design and superior insulation properties. They excel in extreme weather conditions, withstanding high winds, heavy rain, and even snow. This resilience is due to their robust construction and thermal barrier within the frame, which prevents heat loss and enhances energy efficiency.
In the Pacific Northwest, known for its wet and cold conditions, these windows are particularly beneficial. Their resistance to rust and corrosion ensures longevity, even in constant exposure to moisture. Moreover, the thermal barrier contributes to a warm and comfortable indoor environment, potentially reducing heating costs.
For homeowners, property developers, and architects, aluminium windows offer not just functionality but also aesthetic flexibility. With a wide range of styles and finishes, they can complement any architectural design, adding a touch of elegance to the property.
In conclusion, aluminium windows from Acemark Glazing are a comprehensive solution, offering robustness, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making them a preferred choice for various climates.
