Fabricating High-Performance Aluminium Systems for the Trade within an Evolving Industry

Precision, consistency and performance have become non-negotiable in the modern fenestration landscape. For trade professionals tasked with delivering results on tight timelines and demanding specifications, product reliability is essential. That’s where Astra Windows continues to stand apart.

Based in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, Astra Windows is an aluminium fabricator with over 35 years of industry experience, supplying a comprehensive range of high-performance glazing systems tailored specifically for the trade. From sleek bi-fold doors and ultra-slim sliding door systems to heavy-duty commercial entrances and heritage-inspired internal screening, every product is built for long-term performance and installer ease.

Everything Astra Windows supplies is fabricated in-house, allowing full control over product quality, consistency, and turnaround times. This vertical integration enables a level of precision and reliability that sets the company apart in a competitive marketplace. It also means every product has been developed with a deep understanding of installer needs, site conditions, and long-term performance.

Managing Director David Jackson explains, “Fabricating everything ourselves means we can stand behind the quality of every unit we produce. Installers come to us because they know our systems will arrive as promised, finished to a high standard, and ready for installation with no surprises.”

Systems That Deliver on Aesthetic, Performance and Installation

Astra Window’s product portfolio is built around premium aluminium systems from leading suppliers such as ALUK, ALUNA by Alunet Systems, and Jack Aluminium. This allows them to offer solutions that combine cutting-edge thermal performance, visual appeal, and installer-friendly detailing.

Their ALUNA aluminium bi-fold and sliding door ranges, for example, are designed with ultra-slim interlocks, soft-close technology, and large sash capability. These systems are ideal for projects that demand contemporary styling and high levels of natural light, without compromising on strength or weather resistance. Likewise, ALUNA sliding doors can accommodate large openings up to 2.5 metres by 2.7 metres per sash, while maintaining U-values as low as 1.4 W/m²K, offering both visual impact and energy efficiency.

For residential windows, Astra fabricates ALUK aluminium casement and flush systems that provide clean sightlines, robust security and excellent weather performance. With multiple configurations and finishes available, including chamfered, ovolo and contemporary profiles, the range caters to a wide range of property types, from heritage refurbishments to modern new builds.

Astra Window’s aluminium commercial entrance doors, from ALUK, are fabricated with features such as built-in anti-finger trap protection, robust ladder-frame construction, and options for manual or electronic access control. These doors are engineered to withstand high-traffic environments such as schools, healthcare facilities and retail settings, with the flexibility to suit any architectural briefs.

Internal doors and glazed screening systems, from Jack Aluminium systems, complete Astra Window’s vast offering, delivering sought-after steel-look aesthetics in a lightweight, thermally efficient aluminium design. These solutions are increasingly specified in both residential and commercial interiors, offering light-filled spaces with a refined industrial edge.

David adds, “We’ve expanded our range to ensure we’re supporting the full spectrum of installer requirements – from a single entrance door on a home extension to full commercial façade packages. Every product we fabricate is designed to be easy to install, compliant with regulations, and backed by the kind of service only a dedicated national fabricator can offer.”

Serving the Trade with Consistency and Craft

As the demand for aluminium continues to grow across both domestic and commercial projects, Astra Windows remains focused on providing a supply model that supports the trade from first enquiry to final installation. With reliable lead times, technical support and a national delivery network, the company ensures that installers have access to the products, knowledge and fabrication standards they need to deliver successful results.

With a full showroom on-site and a team of experienced fabricators and project advisors, Astra Windows offers more than just product, it delivers the consistency, insight and practical support that today’s trade professionals depend on.
