For the homeowner, aluminium framed windows are an excellent choice for home improvement due to their strength, durability, and sleek, modern appearance. Unlike wood, aluminium doesn’t warp, crack, or require regular repainting, making it a low-maintenance option that stands up well to harsh weather conditions. Its inherent strength also allows for slimmer frames, which means larger glass panels and more natural light in your home, ideal for creating a clean, contemporary look. Additionally, aluminium frames can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours and finishes to match any home’s style.
From a performance standpoint, modern aluminium windows feature high performance thermal breaks and double or triple glazing, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing heat loss. This makes them a smart investment, not only for comfort but also for lowering energy bills over time. Aluminium is also 100% recyclable, making the choice an environmentally friendly option for homeowners looking to make sustainable decisions. Together this balance of aesthetics, longevity, and energy performance, makes aluminium framed windows a practical and stylish upgrade.
Aluprof, a well established aluminium systems company, providing aluminium systems for some of the UK’s most prestigious projects, has seized the opportunity to enter the home improvement market to meet the growing demand for high quality, long lasting products. The portfolio of products include a new slimline casement window, a new entrance door system with a range of pivot and panel door options, plus an outdoor living range of structures, the Pergola system. Complementing these new fenestration systems is a new range of garage door and roller shutter systems which helps home improvement companies to range build across a wide range of aluminium improvement products.
Aluprof UK recently hosted its highly anticipated ‘Aluprof Living’ Partner Day, bringing together key fabricators and industry professionals for a day of collaboration, insight, and innovation. Held at Aluprof’s extensive showroom and training facility in Altrincham, the event showcased Aluprof’s latest product developments and sustainable solutions in aluminium systems, highlighting the company’s commitment to excellence and partnership. With a dynamic mix of keynote presentations and interactive exhibits, attendees gained valuable knowledge about upcoming trends and Aluprof’s role in shaping the future of home improvement design.
One of the highlights of the presentation was the newly introduced Casement Slim Frame window specifically designed for the UK and Ireland market. The Aluprof MB79N CSF Slim Casement Frame is a stylish and efficient solution for modern residential and commercial buildings. Designed with minimalist aesthetics in mind, it offers slim sight-lines that enhance natural light and create a sleek, contemporary look.
Engineered for high performance, the MB79N CSF Slim Casement Frame achieves an impressive U-value of 0.93 W/m²K for openable windows with triple glazing, making it an ideal solution for energy-efficient buildings and modern thermal standards. Its specially designed hinge system supports sash weights of up to 80 kg, allowing for larger window sizes that maximise natural light. Alongside its thermal efficiency, the system offers versatile configuration options, combining flexibility with a sleek, contemporary look that appeals to both architects and homeowners.
At the Aluprof Living launch event, Mags Herbert, Aluprof’s Garage Door and Rolling Systems Sales Manager, also introduced Aluprof’s SkyRoll and insect screens to the delegates designed to seamlessly complement the Aluprof Pergolas and sliding systems to enhance outdoor living with practical, stylish shading and protection solutions.
The Partner Day was not only an opportunity to share expertise but also to celebrate the strong relationships that underpin Aluprof UK’s continued growth in this trade sector. Delegates praised the event’s organisation, informative sessions, and the chance to engage directly with the Aluprof team. The success of the day underscored the company’s dedication to fostering a collaborative network and delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the home improvement market when living with aluminium framed windows and doors.
