Aluminium Windows and Doors

An example of corner-installed sliding aluminum windows

If there was just one development in house style and security in recent years that you had to name then it would probably be aluminium windows and doors. They are so popular now that they are becoming the norm. New building developments are now as likely as not to include aluminium windows and doors as standard in all dwellings and commercial or public buildings.

The reason is simple. Aluminium, being the third most common element on Earth, is cheap as a raw material, is easily manufactured into stylish products such as windows and doors, is light but exceptionally strong, and lasts for years, being endlessly recyclable.

Aluminium windows and doors have several advantages over their wood counterparts. The biggest one for most homeowners is that they are virtually maintenance free. Wood, for all its qualities, is prone to expand and contract with changing temperatures and humidity levels, warp and crack. Being a naturally grown material, it eventually rots, even when treated with all the advanced preservatives now available.

The modern look of aluminium windows and doors is another big factor in their favour. Everyone loves stylish, good looking doors and windows, and when aluminium is the main material they open and close like a piece of high-tech electronic equipment, and look the part too. Streamline Windows offers you a very wide choice of aluminium windows and doors:

* Our traditional awning and casement windows are best for weather proofing, thanks to their double sealing system that keeps out sound, wind and rain, and reduces heat loss in cooler weather.

* Our sliding windows are industry leaders, with their heavy duty double rollers, their smooth operation and their ease of use.

* Our double hung windows are renowned for their reliability and advanced sash technique.

* Our louvre windows are excellent for controlling ventilation and for those hard-to-get-at areas, where the remote-control option is invaluable. They can be fitted with glass or timber blades, as well as aluminium.

* Our sliding doors are in three ranges, including multi-track and our top of the range Summit sliding door, for large areas requiring high security. All have a high quality sealing system and a variety of sill types to choose from.

* Our hinged doors feature guaranteed air tightness, separating noise and quiet, heat and cold. They are versatile, and can be used as security doors to the outside, either inswing or outswing, and have sloped sills for drainage and wheelchair access.

* Our bi-folding doors feature multi-point locking for extra security, dust seals to reduce wear and tear, and can be custom made to various heights and widths.

All our aluminium windows and doors come with insect and security screens that can be fitted internally.

As for looks, at Streamline Windows we coat all our aluminium frames with a polyester powder coated finish that will not fade or need attention. You have a wide choice of colours, most of which can be “mixed and matched” with dual colour combinations to give a pleasing look.

The sheer strength of aluminium windows and doors belies their extreme lightness of weight. Our factory has perfected techniques that bring you units that open and close to a perfect match, meaning that not only do they look good, but they provide exceptional weather proofing, being impervious to wind and rain, and total security, thanks to advanced locking systems that are made with equally meticulous attention to detail.

In short, our aluminium windows and doors are not simply windows and doors – they are precision instruments that will last at least as long as your house, and be something you can be proud of throughout your period of ownership.
