Aluminium framing can still be used as replacement windows on traditional homes, maintaining the traditional appearance and nature of these homes but providing a modern framing solution using a material known for its durability, ease of maintenance and longevity.
At Swakleys the replacement window design included the use of leaded lights on the double glazed units. These leaded lights are applied using the manufacturing technique of ‘Overlaying’ where the lead bars are applied directly to the external surface of the glass unit. This allows the glass to be easily installed into any framing depth and maintain its thermal performance.

Our slim framed Aluminium Casement Windows were greatly suited for these traditional replacement windows due to their slim aluminium frame and the ability to powder coat the frames at RAL colour. Here the RAL colour chosen was RAL 9016 to match the existing white framed windows.
Configurations varied throughout the building but the feature windows were the traditional bay windows to the front elevation of the home. The front of the bays were fixed to maintain the slim framing and then incorporating side hung windows to the sides of the bays for ventilation.
