3 Key Benefits of Aluminium Windows
Built to Last
Manufactured from premium-grade aluminium with durable finishes, our windows are designed to withstand heavy use and demanding environments for long-lasting performance.
Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective
Resistant to corrosion, warping and wear, aluminium windows require minimal upkeep — helping reduce maintenance and long-term replacement costs.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency
Advanced thermal break technology helps reduce heat transfer, improving insulation and supporting lower energy costs in commercial buildings.
Versatile Window Options
Our commercial aluminium window systems are designed to suit a wide range of applications, from standard openings to specialist solutions for ventilation, access and fire safety.
Casement Windows
Simple, versatile everyday solution.
Tilt before Turn
Dual opening for ventilation and access
Teleflex Systems
Safe control for high-level windows
AOV Windows
Automated ventilation and smoke control
Tilt Before Turn Aluminium Windows
Tilt before turn (TBT) aluminium windows offer a practical and versatile solution for commercial and multi-storey buildings. Designed to open in two ways, they provide both secure ventilation and full inward opening for safe access and cleaning.
In tilt mode, the window opens slightly from the top to allow controlled airflow while maintaining security. When fully opened in turn mode, the sash swings inward, making it easy to clean both sides of the glass from inside the building — ideal for higher floors and restricted access areas.
Perfect for schools, apartment blocks and commercial developments, tilt before turn systems combine safety, functionality and ease of maintenance in one efficient design.
Key Benefits:
Teleflex Aluminium Windows
Teleflex window systems provide a safe and efficient way to operate high-level or hard-to-reach windows in commercial buildings. Using a simple mechanical control system, windows can be opened and closed smoothly without the need for ladders, poles or specialist access equipment.
This makes Teleflex systems ideal for environments where accessibility and safety are critical, such as schools, libraries, offices and public buildings. They allow for controlled ventilation while reducing risk and improving ease of use for occupants and maintenance teams.
Designed for reliability and everyday use, Teleflex systems are a practical solution for managing airflow in spaces where standard window operation isn’t possible.
Key Benefits:
AOV (Automated Opening Vents) Windows
AOV (Automated Opening Vent) windows are designed to provide both natural ventilation and essential smoke control as part of a building's fire safety strategy. Integrated with building management or fire alarm systems, AOV windows automatically open in the event of smoke detection to allow safe ventilation and aid evacuation.
As well as their role in fire safety, AOV systems can also be used for day-to-day airflow, improving indoor air quality and occupant comfort.
Widely used in apartment blocks, stairwells, schools and commercial buildings, AOV windows are a critical component in modern building design and compliance.
