Trade steel-look aluminium windows in the Highlands

Ordering steel-look aluminium windows for jobs in the Highlands

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.

Matching French doors and fixed screens can be supplied on the same order so the sightlines line up across the elevation.

Specification at a glance

• Side-hung, top-hung and fixed lights
• Double glazed sealed units
• Powder coated, usually black or dark grey
• Matching doors and screens available
• Narrow glazing bars in grid patterns

Delivery across the Highlands

Because the Highlands is outside our standard mainland routes, delivery is quoted separately for each order and confirmed before production starts.

Building regulations in Scotland

In Scotland the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the Technical Handbooks apply. Replacing windows in a house does not normally need a building warrant, but the new windows must still meet the building standards, including the energy standards in Section 6 and the safety glazing standard in Section 4. Listed buildings and conservation areas have their own controls, so check with the local authority.

Before anything goes into production you get a written order acknowledgement with sizes, finishes and handing for every item. Check it carefully, because made-to-measure items cannot be returned if the sizes were wrong.
