Why this suits County Durham
Aluminium holds a slimmer section than uPVC at the same structural performance, so a like-for-like replacement puts noticeably more glass in the same hole. In County Durham that matters most on cool.
Colliery terraces, interwar semis, and stone-built market-town stock. Cool, exposed, with real wind load on the higher ground. The failure that tends to come first is Condensation and cold-bridging where cavity insulation was retrofitted around old frames — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
A large proportion of solid-wall stock — reveal detailing matters at replacement. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Aluminium windows in County Durham — questions
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in County Durham?
Condensation and cold-bridging where cavity insulation was retrofitted around old frames. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to County Durham take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–4 working days once made for the run to County Durham. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
