  • How do Smart Aluminium products improve thermal efficiency?

    Our modern aluminium windows are thermally-broken using polyamide, an excellent insulator that helps to insulate windows against heat loss. This can provide significant energy savings and increase the internal temperature of a house, reducing the risk of condensation.

  • What maintenance is required for Smart Aluminium systems?

    Maintenance for our aluminium systems is simple and straightforward, with a routine ‘wipe-clean’ all that is required to keep the products looking their best. There’s no need for re-painting or re-varnishing.

    Yes, aluminium does not rust or rot, so our window frames provide great longevity. They will never fade, deteriorate or rust, even in harsh environments, such as coastal locations.

  • What is the Alitherm Heritage range?

    The Alitherm Heritage range is designed to meet the needs of refurbishment and renewal projects, particularly in sensitive planning areas. Its signature slim profiles and sightlines are the ideal solution for listed building renovations.
