Professional aluminium windows supply, installation, and maintenance across Edinburgh and Scotland.
Aluminium Windows Across Edinburgh
Urban Shopfronts provides professional aluminium windows services across Edinburgh and the wider Scotland area. Our experienced teams work with commercial and retail clients in areas including Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, and 5 more areas, delivering installations and services that meet current British Standards and Building Regulations.
Every project in Edinburgh begins with a free site survey, during which we assess the specific requirements of your premises, discuss your priorities, and identify any planning or structural considerations that could affect the work. We then provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation with no hidden costs.
Whether you are an independent retailer, a landlord managing a commercial portfolio, or a developer fitting out new units in Edinburgh, we have the experience and technical capability to deliver your aluminium windows project on time and to specification.
Why Edinburgh Businesses Choose Urban Shopfronts
Edinburgh sits within one of the UK's most active commercial regions. Scotland's mix of historic high streets, modern retail parks, and regeneration zones means every installation must respect both the built heritage and the commercial ambitions of the area. Whether your premises is on a busy high street or within a managed retail development, our aluminium windows systems are specified to suit the particular character of your Edinburgh location.
Scottish planning regulations and listed building requirements often differ from English frameworks, and our teams are experienced in navigating these specific approval processes. For aluminium windows projects in Edinburgh, we handle the full process — from initial survey and specification through to planning liaison where required, installation, and final commissioning. With 10 areas covered across Edinburgh (postcodes including EH1, EH2, EH3, EH4), we maintain short response times for both new installations and aftercare.
Why Choose Our Aluminium Windows in Edinburgh
Every aluminium windows project we deliver in Edinburgh is backed by quality materials, experienced installation teams, and reliable aftercare.
Slim Frames, Maximum Natural Light
Aluminium window profiles are narrower than timber or PVC-U equivalents, allowing larger glass areas within the same structural opening. This maximises natural daylight penetration — a key requirement for retail display and office working environments.
Thermally Broken for Energy Compliance
All our commercial aluminium windows use thermally broken profiles as standard, meeting Building Regulations Part L U-value requirements without compromising frame strength or sightline width.
BS 6375 Weather Rated
Every window system is independently tested for air permeability, watertightness, and wind resistance to BS 6375, providing documented assurance that the installation will perform in the UK climate.
Maintenance-Free Aluminium Construction
Aluminium does not rot, rust, or warp, and the powder-coat finish requires only periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance. This eliminates the painting and timber treatment cycles that other frame materials demand.

How It Works
From initial enquiry to completed installation in Edinburgh — here is what to expect when you choose Urban Shopfronts for your aluminium windows project.
Requirements Discussion
Contact us to discuss your window requirements — fixed, opening, or a combination — along with ventilation needs, security requirements, and colour preferences.
Site Survey
Our surveyor measures each window opening, assesses the structural condition of the reveals, and notes exposure conditions and any planning constraints.
Specification & Quote
We specify the frame profile, opening type, glazing, hardware, and colour, then provide a fixed-price quotation with drawings for approval.
Manufacture & Installation
Windows are fabricated to the surveyed dimensions and installed by our team. All opening mechanisms, restrictors, and locking hardware are adjusted and demonstrated on completion.
What Do Commercial Aluminium Windows Cost?
Aluminium window pricing depends on the window size, opening type, glazing specification, and thermal performance requirements. Fixed-light windows are the most economical; opening windows with security hardware carry a premium.
All prices exclude VAT. Final cost confirmed after site survey.
Aluminium Windows in Edinburgh — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Opening aluminium windows — typically top-hung or tilt-and-turn — can be integrated into an existing aluminium shopfront system by replacing a fixed glazed panel with an opening frame. This is a common upgrade for retail units that lack adequate ventilation. We assess compatibility with the existing profile system at the survey stage.
Yes. Our thermally broken aluminium windows achieve overall U-values of 1.2 to 1.6 W/m²K with standard double glazing, meeting Building Regulations Part L. With triple glazing and enhanced thermal break profiles, U-values below 1.0 W/m²K are achievable for projects with higher energy performance targets.
We offer the full RAL Classic and RAL Design range — over 2,500 colours. Dual-colour finishes (different colours inside and outside) are available. Non-standard colours typically add five to seven working days to the lead time.
Commercial aluminium windows typically provide 30 to 40 years of reliable service with minimal maintenance. The aluminium frame is inherently corrosion-resistant, and the powder-coat finish is guaranteed for 10 years against fading and peeling under normal UK conditions.
