Aluminium Retrofit Case Study
How Does Aluminium Retrofit Double Glazing Work?
Our team carefully removes your existing single glazing, prepares the frames, and installs a high-performance insulated glass unit (IGU) designed specifically for aluminium joinery.
During your free measure and quote, we assess the condition of your aluminium frames, their suitability for retrofit, your home’s sun exposure, any noise concerns, safety glass requirements, and which SuperTherm™ glass option best fits your home.
Why Choose Aluminium Retrofit?
Retrofitting your aluminium windows is the perfect solution when your existing frames are still in good condition. It offers excellent performance improvements at a lower cost than full replacement joinery.
Benefits of aluminium retrofit include:
-
A warmer home in winter
-
Less overheating and glare in summer
-
Reduced outside noise
-
Lower energy use
-
Minimal disruption during install
-
Most affordable upgrade option for aluminium homes
-
No structural work required
-
Clean, modern look retained
Most 1980s–2020s homes are ideal candidates for aluminium retrofit double glazing.

Aluminium Retrofit vs Full Replacement: What’s Right for Your Home?
Aluminium retrofit is ideal when your existing frames are in good condition and you want a cost-effective upgrade that improves the comfort of your home. Retrofit keeps the joinery, reduces waste, avoids major construction work, and delivers excellent insulation and noise reduction.
Full replacement is recommended when:
-
Your existing frames are damaged or corroded
-
Windows no longer open, close, or lock properly
-
You want a new window style or configuration
-
You’re renovating and updating the home’s look
-
You want new colours or upgraded thermal performance

If you’re unsure, our team can assess your frames during a free measure and quote. We’ll talk you through both options so you can choose the solution that suits your home, budget, and long-term plans.
