When you choose aluminium windows, you will feel confident that it is a greener material because it lasts up to 30 years.

One of the key reasons why you should choose aluminium windows is that they are secure against the toughest weather conditions. If your Reading home experiences bad weather, windows are the most likely areas to be affected as they are more susceptible to mould spots and draughts. When you choose aluminium windows, these will be a thing of the past because they have a tight weather seal that protects you from the cold air. Aluminium is a longer-lasting material as well because it is a strong and durable metal.
Furthermore, aluminium windows come with advanced double glazing as standard, which deals exceptionally well against robust knocks. And they are fitted in tightly to the frame, so tools such as crowbars will not be able to break into your home. The windows are equipped with multi-point locking systems which lock from the inside. This will deter intruders because the locks will only be opened from the inside. The panes are fitted tightly in the frame, so they can’t be pried open by crowbars.
Aluminium is very easy to look after because it is a low maintenance material. To clean the frames, the only thing you have to do is wipe the panels down a few times with a damp cloth, and it will look as good as new. The windows won’t rust, warp, or fade in bad weather, and they won’t get damaged by UV rays from the sunlight.
If your house is getting colder, or you want to save money, then these windows are the perfect choice for you.

The windows have a Grade A energy rating and have a robust thermal break, so heat is retained for longer while cold air is left outside. This will help you save plenty of money on your energy bills.
