INCREASED LIFESPAN
Increased Lifespan because aluminium does not rust or rot, window frames provide great longevity and can last indefinitely.
This also means that the aluminium windows have the longest lifespan of any window framing material, with typical replacement periods of 40 years plus compared to a typical 35 year replacement period for steel, PVC and timber. (Source: BRE British Research Establishment)
Reduced Maintenance for aluminium systems is simple and straightforward, with a routine “wipe-clean” is all that’s required to keep the products looking their best. With no requirement for re-painting or re-varnishing, aluminium windows and doors will never fade, deteriorate or rust, even in harsh environments, such as coastal locations, where steel windows can be particularly prone to rust, requiring regular maintenance and eventually, replacement. The Heritage Collection ranges have been designed specifically to meet the requirements of refurbishment and renewal projects, particularly in sensitive planning areas. The system has been approved by numerous Local Authorities.
