Here at Living Aluminium we offer several different systems in our Aluminium range.
How do I go about choosing the right window?
There is no right window, however there is a right window for you and your application. Each system will have its own set of specifications, some will appeal to you more than others. Your decisions will often be based around aesthetics of the system, frame style and often price point. There are some well known brands in the Aluminium Window market. Our focus around all our systems is orientated towards a high quality of manufacture and specification on each of our systems. Considerable care and attention will be taken to ensure every system we offer is professionally installed to your property. We have a small and focused team of professional installers to deliver on our promises. All of our window systems we offer at Living Aluminium are based from the mid to high end position in the market, with competitive prices across the ranges, ensuring years of hassle free operation.

Here are some common points for consideration when considering the right system for you.
All the different system companies offer different colours as standard, these generally will range from 3-6 colours subject to the manufacturer. Standard Colours are offered at no additional charge. Choosing a standard colour is a good way to keep your cost down. Aluminium systems can however be offered in any RAL colour of your choice including options for Dual Colour, that’s one colour inside and a different colour outside. If you select a non standard colour or a dual colour system you can expect to pay a paint-set up surcharge and expect extended lead-times over the standard colours of which the system profile is often in stock for a quicker manufacturing time should your project need this.
Different Systems will boast different U-Values. A U-Value is the measure of any window or door systems thermal effectiveness. You will learn that different systems have varying U-Values.
Most of the thermal effecieny in any window or door system comes from the glazing. This often constitutes around 80% of the overall area. In todays market there are a number of options to to consider around the type of glass you can specify.
All of our windows systems come as standard with a Low Emission coating applied to the inner pane, often referred to a Low E Glass. This is to reflect escaping heat back into the property.
A building control compliance since 2003. Other glazing options include Laminated Security Glass, Solar Glazing or Privacy Glass.
We can explain the benefits of all of these upgrades during our consultation service to see if these are a worthwhile upgrade on your project by location of each window.
Considerations are venerable locations, more prone to intruder attack, South Facing Windows subject to prolonged sun throughout the summer months or Bathroom/WC locations requiring absolute privacy.
Each of our Window systems will have a unique set of profile dimensions and shape. Some profiles shapes are more square and contemporary while others have beveled profiles. Dimensions will also vary, ranging from one end of the spectrum to the other. You will be able to view these first hand across our range of working samples during your initial consultation.
Our Casement window systems between manufacturers can vary in there delivery lead-time. Our more mainstream systems can be manufactured and delivered in lead-times as short as 3-4 weeks. Other more unique systems can take 8-10 weeks.
If you have an urgency in your project timelines then we can point you in the direction of systems with shorter lead-times.
