Project Overview

Homeowners in Acton wanted to modernise their semi dethatched property with a bold, contemporary look. The existing white uPVC windows looked out of place against the period brickwork and offered poor thermal performance. The goal was to install black aluminium windows to create a striking contrast, improve energy efficiency, and boost the property’s resale value.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed bespoke black aluminium windows throughout the front and rear elevations. The solution included:

  • Slim-profile black aluminium frames (RAL 9005) for a sleek, modern aesthetic
  • Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss and condensation
  • Double-glazed units with low-E coating for superior insulation
  • Tilt-and-turn operation on upper floors for safe ventilation
  • Multi-point locking mechanisms with security hinges
  • Matching black handles and hardware for a cohesive finish

Installation Process

  • Conducted full site survey with precise measurements of all openings
  • Removed existing uPVC windows carefully to preserve surrounding brickwork
  • Disposed of all old frames and glass responsibly
  • Checked and prepared lintels, reveals, and sills
  • Lifted black aluminium frames into position using precision packers
  • Mechanically fixed frames to the structure ensuring zero movement
  • Spray-foamed all perimeter gaps and applied internal/external silicone seals
  • Installed double-glazed sealed units into each frame
  • Adjusted all tilt-and-turn mechanisms and hinges for smooth operation
  • Completed thorough clean of glass, frames, and surrounding areas
