Low Maintenance Tough and protective, the polyester powder paint gloss finish is guaranteed to maintain its beauty for years to come. There’s virtually no maintenance because it simply wipes clean with a cloth. It is resistant to pollution, dirt and grime that can discolour and stain many other types of windows.

Inherent StrengthAluminium is naturally stronger and more durable than other materials commonly used for windows and doors. It will not warp, rust or need painting and aluminium’s structural strength makes it particularly suitable for bay windows, doors and conservatories.

Warmth & Comfort

All products offer market-leading energy-efficiency to keep your home warm and help reduce the cost of heating bills. All window sections have a polyamide thermal break to improve thermal insulation.

High SecurityThe strength of aluminium provides the high level of security you should expect from today’s modern windows and doors. All windows and doors in the Beaufort range feature multi-point locking systems as standard, providing secure peace of mind.

Aluminium offers the best in appearance, security and performance


Over a third of the world’s aluminium is produced from recycled material.

aluminium - naturally better

Aluminium is one of the world’s most abundant, recyclable and sustainable building materials.

Caring for the Environment Environmental issues and conserving resources are concerns for all. Aluminium’s ‘green’ credentials are very impressive. Aluminium has a long useful life and 90% of the aluminium used in buildings can be recycled and re-used in new products.

Helping SustainabilityAluminium can be recycled over and over again without any loss in quality or performance. Old windows and doors will be broken down and recycled, instead of being buried in the ground. Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy needed for production from raw materials.

By choosing aluminium windows and doors, you are helping to save the planet’s natural resources and helping to conserve valuable energy.

Responsible SourcingWe are committed to responsibly sourcing materials and ensuring that our suppliers adopt the same ethos. We aim to source the majority of our products from recycled material, thus reducing our impact on the environment and helping to conserve valuable resources. We also try to minimise our carbon footprint by sourcing products and services from within the United Kingdom.

Carbon EmissionsGlobal warming and climate change are issues that affect us all. Recycling aluminium from end-of-life products saves nearly 80 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year. Aluminium has been recycled in the UK since the beginning of the 20th century and over three-quarters of the aluminium is still in productive use.

Residential Casement - Externally GlazedAdvanced Plus

Aluminium combines features to give a proven ability to perform successfully for over 30 years.

Technically Superior Thanks to the innovative design of the Beaufort Range, your new windows combine strength, durability and beauty with the latest technological advances in energy efficiency, weather and security performance. Slim aluminium frames eliminate the unsightly and bulky appearance associated with alternative framing materials, thus resulting in a beautiful window built for lasting performance.

Style without Compromise Add a timeless elegance to the appearance of your home, whether it’s a traditional or modern property. Your new windows can be custom-made to complement your home’s exact style and character. Choose from standard, shaped or arched windows and a range of colours, including dual colour options, such as black outside and white inside, for a completely individual look.

Bays and BowsUnlike flat windows, bay or bow windows have to be structural in design. These styles of windows make aluminium the perfect choice, as they require extremely strong load-bearing sections whilst maintaining slim and attractive sightlines to complement the character of your home. Aluminium combines all these features to give a proven ability to perform successfully for over 30 years.

Choice in DetailRecreate the elegant and classy look of a bygone era with sculptured vents and outer frames. This detail, called an Ovolo, can add the perfect finishing touch to your new windows. If you are seeking a more conventional look, we can cater for the whole range of styles including flat, feature and rebated windows.

Stylish AetheticsWhy not consider another stylish option to give your home a symmetrical and appealing appearance. Imitation or ‘dummy’ vents will create a balanced and appealing look to your new windows. This effect works particularly well with aluminium because its slim sightlines ensure a clean and uncluttered look that other framing materials simply cannot offer.

Internally Secure To ensure that you have the best possible security, crime prevention officers and insurance companies recommend our type of internally glazed windows. Most windows are glazed by inserting the glass into the window from the outside and statistics show that an increasing number of burglaries take place after the crook has removed the glass in this manner. To combat this, your new windows will be glazed from the inside, using the most secure method of glazing possible.

conservatoriesAdvanced Plus

Perfect AdditionCreate useful extra living space with a conservatory designed to suit your requirements perfectly. Conservatories are available in many different styles including Edwardian, Victorian or a simple lean-to. Aluminium is a key material for conservatories because of it’s strength, low maintenance, slim sightlines and its available in a wide range of colour options.

Technically Superior For strength, lifetime performance and an elegant appearance, aluminium delivers on all counts. In many conservation areas, some local authorities now prefer aluminium framing as a real alternative to the other materials, such as traditional hardwood due to its durarability, longevity and the positve impacts on our environment.

Light Fantastic See the light with an aluminium conservatory! Aluminium conservatories allow for more opening options and expansive areas of glass – even full height windows are possible. This different use of glass gives aluminium conservatories a more contemporary appearance and it can be a more cost-effective addition to your property than other materials.

Our ‘A-rated’ window gets top marks for energy efficiency

Award-winning windows and doorsthat saves on energy bills

Saving EnergyThe Beaufort Range is the first aluminium system in the UK to achieve an ‘A-rated’ Window for the Window Energy Rating Scheme with a double glazed unit. This gives you a genuine quality and energy-efficient solution at an affordable price, helping you to lower your heating costs. The Beaufort Range has been widely acknowledged and has been awarded the industry’s prestigious Energy Efficiency Award.

Energy RatingsThe British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) energy performance A to G label scheme helps you determine how well your window, door or conservatory product will perform in terms of thermal performance. The Beaufort Range features products rated from A to C, enabling you to make an informed choice according to your home’s location and requirements.

Choosing WiselyWe believe strongly in helping to reduce carbon emissions and their environmental impact. According to the Energy Saving Trust, homes account for a quarter of all CO2 emissions in the UK. Poorly insulated windows account for a quarter of the total heat loss in your home. Fitting energy-rated windows is one of the most effective ways to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. Please be assured that we are always on hand to offer advice and help you make the best choice.

Strong and DurableAluminium does not warp, twist or rust and requires virtually no maintenance. Aluminium’s inherent strength and structrual performance means that it is perfect for withstanding the harshest of weather conditions, regardless of application. All profiles are given a powder-coated paint finish, so they will never need painting – saving you valuable time and money.
