Aluminium Windows & Doors in Didcot
Dynasty Windows supplies and installs aluminium windows and doors for homes in Didcot and across Oxfordshire. Aluminium is a different material to uPVC and behaves differently once it is in the opening. The frames are strong enough to be kept narrow, so a window or door of the same size carries more glass and less framework. For anyone who wants a clean, modern line and plenty of daylight, that is usually the deciding factor.
What the work involves
We start at the property, looking at the existing openings and how you use the rooms behind them. Sizes are measured properly, the opening styles are agreed, and we go through the sightlines, the handle and hinge options and the colour before anything is ordered. Aluminium is powder coated, so the finish is chosen rather than assumed, and the inside and outside faces can often be specified in different colours.
On fitting day we take out the old frames, prepare and level the reveals, set the new frames square and true, glaze and adjust each opener, then seal and make good inside and out. Doors get the extra attention they need on the threshold and the lock keeps, because an aluminium door only feels right when it closes on a single smooth movement. We clear up as we go and take the old frames and glass away with us.
Who it is for
Aluminium suits large window openings, picture windows, rear elevations and front doors where a solid, substantial feel matters. It is a common choice on extensions, loft conversions and barn style properties, and on older houses where slim frames keep the proportions sensible. It also works well as part of a complete refurbishment, where the windows, doors and glazing all need to match each other rather than being picked up piecemeal. If you are weighing aluminium against uPVC, we will set out the practical differences honestly and let you decide what fits the property and the budget you have in mind.
Common questions
How is aluminium different to uPVC?
Aluminium is stronger for its size, so the frames can be made slimmer while still holding large panes. The finish is powder coated rather than moulded in, which opens up the colour choice. uPVC remains a solid option, and for some openings it is the more sensible one.
Can I have aluminium windows and doors that match?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Windows, front doors and rear doors can be specified in the same colour and finish so the elevation reads as one piece of work. We will check the details across the whole order before it goes in.
Do you replace just a few windows or the whole house?
Both. Some jobs are a single large window or a replacement front door, others are every opening in the property as part of a refurbishment. We measure and quote for whatever scope you want.
