ALUMINIUM WINDOWS

The strongest aluminium windows around.

The strength of our aluminium windows is ironically one of their biggest strengths and puts them on a pedestal as the UK’s strongest aluminium window range. You can also label them as durable and robust, with their corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish just about impossible to blemish.

They can stand up to the elements in a way that timber window frames can’t and won’t rot as the intensely rich finish stops rainwater from getting into the frames. No swelling, warping, or cracking will occur either during extreme temperatures.

A fading of the powder-coated finish just won’t happen, and you can bank on that even if the windows are consistently exposed to powerful sunlight, holding their colour terrifically well so that you don’t have to do any repainting.

Profit from a big boost in energy efficiency.

The thermal properties of aluminium windows are outstanding, well beyond what you get with traditional aluminium systems, and they promise a great return on investment through the large energy savings they will earn you.

Heat is prevented from escaping through the robust window frame by a thermal break and our high performance, next generation glass so that your home stays cool in summer and cosy in winter without unnecessary energy consumption. A dual density weatherseal is also installed into the system for airtight protection against the elements.

Aluminium window designs from Eden offer low U-values and high energy ratings, the dream combination in any replacement window.

Aluminium windows demand only a small amount of maintenance.

For the most part, our aluminium window designs can be left alone, with just some periodic upkeep enough to restore their smart aesthetics.

Remove any hand jewellery prior to cleaning the glazed sections of the windows to avoid accidental scratching, relying on a mixed solution of soap and water to get rid of any build-up of grime. Polish the glass up using a soft cloth and standard household glass cleaner. Avoid excess force when cleaning the glass if it has leaded lights or Georgian bars so that you don’t dislodge them.

Soap and water will also suffice for washing down the aluminium frames, recommended every 3 months, and the external frame may benefit from a cleansing every 6 months with a non-abrasive proprietary cleaner.

Be careful not to catch yourself on the hardware’s sharp edges or corners when you are cleaning the frames with the windows open.

Buff up the window handles, after they’ve been cleaned with soap and water, using the soft cloth.

So that the lock doesn’t stick, apply some oil, or light grease to it, and to the keeps too, once every 12 months.

A thin film of grease will keep the hinges moving smoothly.

Customise the aluminium window units to reflect your home’s style.

Choosing to customise your new replacement aluminium windows is advocated if you visualise them being a specific shape, size, colour, or with a certain frame type etc., and it’s not just on the outside that you can dictate their design.

Back in the day, you had to accept silver coloured aluminium frames – there was no other choice.

Breakthroughs have been made since and there are now many coloured shades available, for inside and outside, with the final call on colour entirely in your court.

Potential add-ons include Georgian bars to emulate traditional Georgian window designs and inject more character into the windows (they already have plenty of it!), and the flexibility of the aluminium we use enables us to adapt it into just about any window style.

Security is always key.

The welfare of your home and family is what matters most and Eden’s aluminium window collection has been designed to account for security so that you know they are sufficiently protected.

A range of components in our aluminium windows work in tandem to reliably shield your property against forced entries, from the robust aluminium frame, multi-point locking system, and super-resilient glazing to a host of discreetly hidden secure mechanisms (invisible locking cylinders).

Tested to the extreme, you can concentrate your focus on the exquisite stylishness these windows add, putting any concerns you have over security right to the back of your mind.

You can experience a reduction in external noise with aluminium windows.

Nuisance noise at home is enough to drive anyone crazy, whether it’s noise produced by busy traffic, passing trains, or inconsiderate neighbours that invades your private space. Aluminium windows have the ability to block some of it out to treat you to a quieter life.

It’s more the glazing in an aluminium design than the frame that offers a degree of soundproofing against unwanted noise.

For the highest level of soundproofing, specify triple glazing for the windows, but a triple glazed window must have three glass panes with different thicknesses to break down sound waves and have the desired effect.

Aluminium is one of earth’s most sustainable materials.

Strong they may be, as well as highly energy-efficient, but are aluminium windows eco-friendly too? The environmentally conscious, as we are, will be happy to discover that they most certainly are.

Aluminium is infinitely recyclable, and it needs around 95% less energy to recycle it than to produce primary aluminium. However many times it is recycled, aluminium loses none of its strength or quality, ensuring its longevity. It will be years before you need to replace your window frames again after an investment into aluminium window designs, which stops any overconsumption and saves you a lot of cash.

By retaining so much warmth and repelling coldness from the outside, aluminium also reduces any reliance on energy, lessening greenhouse gas emissions and helping us in our fight against climate change.

Most aluminium window installations are not subject to planning permission.

In most cases, planning permission does not need to be obtained to upgrade existing windows with aluminium designs if they have a similar look and are similarly sized as you have ‘permitted development rights’. To explain, permitted development rights allow you to improve your property without having to apply for planning permission.

For homes within conservation areas, any replacement aluminium windows must be a like-for-like replica of the windows they’re replacing, otherwise a planning application will need to be made. Also, check if your historic property is under an Article 4 direction as this will restrict what changes you can make to it without acquiring permission first.

If your home is a ‘listed building’, planning permission will most likely be required for an aluminium window installation.

Eden will assist with any planning application, where applicable.
