Aluminium
Where aluminium performs well and where it doesn't.
- Aluminium Windows in Stone Properties: When Do They Work?Aluminium works well in stone properties when the design is right: slim sightlines, sensible colours and frames set back in the reveal. It's a natural fit for extensions, barns and contemporary stone homes, and can suit traditional houses in heritage-style profiles — but isn't right for every listed or conservation setting.
- Can I Use Aluminium Windows in a Conservation Area?Sometimes. Where permitted development applies, a replacement must be of similar appearance to what's there. Where permission is needed, councils assess the design. Slim, well-detailed aluminium can be acceptable in some settings and not in others — there's no Yorkshire-wide rule.
