We ensure all window frames are low-maintenance and easy to care for. Choosing aluminium over uPVC is a superior choice, as aluminium is significantly stronger than its uPVC counterparts. This added strength is ideal for security, making frames much harder to breach or cut open unnoticed. Furthermore, aluminium allows for a larger glass surface area, providing better, unobstructed views of the outside world. You can choose from a diverse selection of window types, including porthole, arched, and round designs.

Our expert design team is available to assist with any project. We utilize precision manufacturing methods to ensure every unit is built to your exact specifications, ensuring durability that lasts for years to come.

Architectural Styles and Custom Options

Grey Aluminium Windows

Grey aluminium windows are a highly sought-after feature for modern and traditional buildings alike. Whether the property is a new build or a heritage site, grey frames add style and durability with a modern twist. While many clients opt for anthracite grey, you may choose from a vast range of colours available in the RAL colour system to suit your specific aesthetic.

Round Aluminium Windows

At Façade Creations, we create perfectly round windows for any building type.

• Fixed Round Windows: Manufactured with a minimum diameter of 400mm (40cm) and a maximum of 1800mm (180cm).
• Round Pivot Windows: These require a minimum diameter of 600mm (60cm) and a maximum of 1500mm (150cm). These circular frames help break up the monotony of straight lines and create a striking focal point for any building façade.

Porthole Windows

Our porthole windows are designed with a clean, continuous finish and are available in both opening and fixed versions. Like our round windows, the smallest porthole we can create is 400mm (40cm) and the largest is 1800mm (180cm), depending on the chosen style.

Curved and Arched Window Specialists

Manufactured for nationwide delivery, our curved windows are created by bending aluminium frames to a specific radius. This provides a unique architectural appeal and excellent insulation. All shaped frames are fully welded and can be fabricated from various aluminium systems.

Our design staff works with homeowners, architects, and contractors to create bespoke solutions. We have supplied arched windows for prestigious renovation projects, including unique conversions like water towers. All shaped and arched frames are completely welded, offering superior aesthetics compared to standard cleating methods where join lines are visible. Our capabilities range from gothic arches to curved bay “sun-trap” windows.

Aluminium Round & Circular Windows

Our bespoke range includes circular fixed and round pivot windows using thermally broken equal-leg outer frames. We powder coat all windows in-house, offering a minimum powder thickness above 60 microns – more than double the standard architectural powder coating requirement.

• Transoms: Round frames can include transoms to create designs such as a “crucifix” style.
• Pivot Systems: Opening round windows typically use a pin-pivot system for easy operation and ventilation. These are ideal for inaccessible areas requiring simple cleaning and help prevent issues like condensation.

Porthole Window Manufacturing

Every porthole frame uses a thermally broken equal-leg aluminium outer frame to provide added insulation and prevent energy loss. We offer a bespoke range for houses, offices, and commercial buildings.

• Small Portholes: Minimum 400mm diameter, using bending technology to ensure the product is structurally sound against strain.
• Large Portholes: Maximum 1800mm diameter, designed for strength and longevity.
• Applications: Portholes are often used as decorative pieces to add contrasting elements to boxy rooms.

Gothic Arch Window Detailed Design

Gothic architecture is defined by the pointed arch which effectively distributes weight. Our frames are welded to ensure no joints or seams are visible, providing a superior finish for domestic or commercial settings.

• Small & Large Options: We accommodate all sizes for pointed arch frames.
• Double Glazing: We offer double-glazed gothic windows to ensure proper insulation and a professional finish that lasts for years.

Commercial Windows

Our variety of shaped commercial windows – from round to porthole – can transform schools, offices, or hospitals.

• Performance: Designed for high security, thermal efficiency, and durability.
• Design Freedom: Commercial buildings often use a mix of window designs, including panelled round windows and gothic arches, to let in more light across larger spaces.

Aluminium Bay Windows

Bay windows increase interior space without major structural works. We offer several configurations: Splay Bay, Square Bay, Single-end Bay, and Curved Bow Windows. These are made of durable aluminium, allowing them to withstand more pressure than standard windows while offering panoramic views.
