Aluminium windows in South Kensington

Around South Kensington you will mostly find stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks and converted period flats. 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 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.

Where a building is listed, or the freeholder insists on keeping the original sashes, secondary glazing fitted inside the existing frames is usually the sensible answer, and it also helps with noise from Cromwell Road. We talk to managing agents about access, consent and parking bay suspensions before we fix a fitting date.

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
