Triple glazed aluminium windows in Cumbria
Homes across Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston, can have triple glazed aluminium windows measured, made to order and fitted.
Slim sightlines and a powder-coated finish, with three panes of glass. Triple glazed aluminium windows use thermally broken aluminium frames, where an insulating strip separates the inside and outside of the frame, holding a three-pane sealed unit.

Rules in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

Questions
Do aluminium windows suit older houses?
They suit many 20th-century homes well. For Victorian and Georgian houses, or conservation areas, timber or heritage-style frames are usually a better match.
How much do triple glazed aluminium windows cost?
Our guide runs from £1,095 for a small window to £2,795 for a large one, fitted and inc VAT. UK quotes typically sit 20 to 35% above uPVC.
Can aluminium windows take triple glazing?
Yes, and the strength of aluminium suits the extra weight. The system needs a glazing rebate deep enough for the unit, which we check on survey.
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Cumbria.
Do I need permission for triple glazed aluminium windows in England?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
