Trade steel-look aluminium windows in East Sussex

Ordering steel-look aluminium windows for jobs in East Sussex

Steel-look windows depend on the proportion of the glazing bars, so we confirm the bar layout for every window on your quote before production.

They are aluminium rather than steel, which keeps the weight down and allows a thermal break. Where a heritage specification calls for real steel, tell us and we will say whether we can quote it.

Building regulations in England

Replacement windows in England should meet Approved Document L: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or a Window Energy Rating of band B. Approved Document F expects background ventilation to be no worse than before, which usually means trickle vents. Glazing in critical locations must break safely, be robust or in small panes, or be permanently protected under Approved Document K, which in practice usually means toughened or laminated safety glass. Rooms that need an escape route may need an escape window under Approved Document B. Replacing windows is notifiable building work: the installer self-certifies through a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass, or the work goes through building control.

We do not start manufacturing until you have approved the order acknowledgement. It repeats each size, colour and opening direction so you can check it against your survey.
