Our Aluminium Windows Range
Aluminium windows are a premium choice for homeowners looking for slim frames, generous glazed areas and a clean architectural finish. Their strength allows for refined sightlines while providing the durability and low-maintenance performance required for everyday homes.
Chigwell Window Centre supplies and installs aluminium windows across Essex and London, including projects in and around Chigwell, Romford, Loughton, Brentwood and the wider Essex area.
Our range includes contemporary Smart 400 windows alongside Heritage aluminium windows for properties where a traditional steel-look appearance is preferred.
Smart 400 Windows
A contemporary aluminium window system combining slim styling with the strength, durability and modern performance associated with aluminium frames. Smart 400 is suited to replacement projects, extensions and renovations where homeowners want a clean modern appearance and increased areas of glass.
Heritage Windows
Heritage aluminium windows recreate the character of traditional steel-style frames while providing the benefits of a modern aluminium window system. Their slimmer proportions and distinctive appearance make them particularly suited to period-inspired renovations, character properties and projects where the window design is an important architectural feature.
Why Choose Aluminium Windows?
Aluminium combines strength with comparatively slim frame profiles, making it particularly attractive where appearance, natural light and long-term durability are priorities.
The strength of aluminium allows window frames to remain slim while supporting generous glazed areas. This creates clean sightlines and helps maximise natural light, making aluminium particularly effective in contemporary homes, extensions and larger openings.
Slim Frames and More Natural Light
Modern aluminium window systems use thermal-break technology to reduce heat transfer through the frame. Overall energy efficiency also depends on the glazing, seals, configuration and quality of installation, so the performance of the complete window specification should always be considered.
Modern Thermal Performance
Aluminium provides a strong and rigid frame material and can be combined with modern locking hardware to create a secure replacement window. The exact security specification depends on the window system and hardware selected for your project.
Security Built Into the Specification
Aluminium frames are resistant to warping, corrosion and everyday wear. Powder-coated finishes also provide a durable surface that requires relatively little maintenance beyond routine cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about aluminium windows, costs and installation. Our showroom team can help you compare the right specification for your home.
Yes. Modern aluminium window systems use a thermal break between the internal and external parts of the frame to reduce heat transfer. Overall energy performance also depends on the glazing, seals, window configuration and quality of installation.
Aluminium windows typically have a higher upfront cost than uPVC. Homeowners often choose aluminium for its slimmer frames, strength, durability and premium finish, while uPVC is usually the more cost-effective option.
The main advantages are slim sightlines, strength, durability, low maintenance and a wide choice of finishes. Aluminium is particularly attractive for homeowners who want larger glazed areas or a clean contemporary appearance.
Aluminium windows require relatively little maintenance. Routine cleaning of the frames, glass and working components is normally the main requirement, although the manufacturer’s care guidance for the selected system should always be followed.
Aluminium is a strong and rigid frame material and modern aluminium windows can be specified with secure locking hardware. The precise level of security depends on the selected window system, glazing and hardware specification.
Yes. Aluminium casement windows are available and combine the familiar casement opening style with slim aluminium frames. They are suitable for many contemporary homes, extensions and renovation projects.
Yes. Chigwell Window Centre supplies and installs aluminium windows across Essex, including Chigwell, Loughton, Romford, Brentwood, Colchester and surrounding areas. We also serve customers across London and the wider South East.
Casement windows are one of the most versatile configurations available in aluminium and can suit both contemporary and traditional properties.
An aluminium casement window combines the familiar outward-opening design with the slimmer profiles and clean appearance associated with aluminium frames. They can work particularly well on modern homes, extensions and renovation projects where larger areas of glass or sharper sightlines are desired.
Aluminium windows can work successfully across a broad range of property styles.
Contemporary homes and extensions benefit from slim sightlines, clean lines and larger glazed areas. Renovated properties can use aluminium to introduce a sharper modern contrast, while Heritage-style aluminium windows can provide a more traditional steel-inspired appearance where the architecture calls for it.
The most suitable system depends on the character of your property, the proportions of the openings and the finished appearance you want to achieve.
There is no meaningful single price for an aluminium window because each project varies by size, design and specification. A made-to-measure quotation is therefore the best way to establish the actual cost of your project.
- Window size: Larger openings require more frame material and glazing
- Configuration: Opening sections, fixed panes and more complex designs affect specification
- Number of windows: A single replacement differs from a whole-house project
- Glazing: Glass type and performance requirements can affect cost
- Colour and finish: Standard, specialist and dual-colour finishes may be priced differently
- Hardware: Handles, hinges and security hardware form part of the final specification
- Installation: Access, removal of existing windows and the condition of the opening can affect the work required
Aluminium generally requires a higher initial investment than uPVC, but homeowners often choose it for its slimmer appearance, strength, durability and design flexibility.
Chigwell Window Centre supplies and installs made-to-measure aluminium windows for homeowners across Essex and London.
The process begins by understanding the property, the windows being replaced and the appearance and performance you want to achieve. We can then help you compare the appropriate aluminium system, glazing, colours and hardware before preparing a quotation.
Once the specification has been agreed, the openings are surveyed and final measurements are confirmed before installation.
Our Essex showroom network also gives homeowners the opportunity to see window and door products in person before making a decision.
We regularly serve homeowners across Chigwell, Romford, Loughton, Brentwood, Colchester and surrounding parts of Essex, as well as customers across East London and the wider London area.
Choosing windows from photographs alone can make it difficult to judge frame proportions, finishes and the overall quality of a product.
