Triple glazed aluminium windows in Swadlincote
We arrange surveys and fitting of triple glazed aluminium windows in Swadlincote and the DE11 area, with a written, fixed quote after a free survey.
More glass, less frame: the strong choice for big openings. 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.
Winter light and glass choice in Swadlincote
By midsummer Swadlincote has about 16 h 53 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 36 min, with the noon sun at about 14°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for aluminium windows in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. 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.
Before ordering: 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.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job

Questions from Swadlincote
Are aluminium windows cold?
Not if the frame has a proper thermal break. Modern thermally broken systems with triple glass reach whole-window U-values around 1.0, well inside the Building Regulations limit for replacement windows.

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.
