Aluminium Windows Specialists Serving Exeter

Southern England's milder but variable climate, including increasing summer heat and storm events, requires careful material specification to ensure longevity and year-round performance. When we install aluminium windows systems in Exeter, every component is selected to handle the specific environmental conditions that South West England properties face, from frame profiles and glazing specifications to sealants and fixings.

Our experience across South West England means we know the practical realities of working in Exeter: access constraints, parking restrictions, out-of-hours installation requirements, and the coordination needed when working on occupied commercial premises. Many southern towns and cities have conservation areas and heritage high streets where shopfront design must satisfy both planning requirements and the commercial expectations of premium trading locations. We bring this local knowledge to every aluminium windows project.

Why Choose Our Aluminium Windows in Exeter

We deliver aluminium windows projects across Exeter with a focus on durability, compliance, and minimal disruption to your trading hours.

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.

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.

Fixed-light window (per m²)£250 – £500
Top-hung opening window£400 – £900
Tilt-and-turn window£500 – £1,100
PAS 24 security window£700 – £1,400

All prices exclude VAT. Final cost confirmed after site survey.

Aluminium Windows in Exeter — 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.
