Aluminium windows in Canonbury

Around Canonbury you will mostly find Georgian and early Victorian terraces, squares and converted flats. Where original steel windows survive in a conservation area, discuss slim aluminium replacements with the council early, as matching sightlines strongly affects whether they are acceptable.

On Victorian and Edwardian homes, aluminium windows work well in rear extensions, where slim frames tie in neatly with matching aluminium sliding or bifold doors. In flats and mansion blocks, aluminium may already be the specified material, so confirm frame colour and profile with the managing agent before arranging a survey.

Where a house is listed, replacing the windows may simply not be allowed. Secondary glazing is then the sensible route: it cuts draughts and street noise while the original sashes stay untouched. We talk through both options when we visit, and we are about 4.9 miles away.

Aluminium windows use strong, slim frames that let more glass and daylight into a room, with powder-coated finishes in a wide range of colours. They suit modern homes, extensions and renovations, and owners of older properties wanting slim sightlines that echo original steel windows.

• Slim frames for more glass and daylight
• Thermally broken frames for better insulation
